He's been looking into the mirror, Trying to find an answer, But seeing only memories of things, That only make him wonder, Was there some trigger, Sudden and specific, Something that he could have seen, Or maybe it just wasn't meant to be. And who's to say what this could mean? We could wake up sometime to find, That we were living in a dream. She's been crying into her pillow, Trying to find a way to, Let go of all the memories of things, That only make it harder, Cos something's been missing, But she can't place her finger. It seems the fire is dying and now, She's trying to find a way to chase the light. And she said, Who's to say which way it goes? But in the back of his mind he knows, And by the dying of the light in his eyes, It really shows.

Movin' On 02:59
This old town has gotten cold and so I’m moving on, To see what I become. And I could run away, never looking back, To show my face again. And so I say goodbye and turn away, And then I close my eyes and roll the dice again. When the sun is going down and day has turned to night, And I am out of sight, I could almost smile to see the fading light, Cos I am out of mind.

Amends 01:59
I don’t really know you, Even though we were friends, You wouldn’t recognise me, If you saw me again. And all of the talk about making amends, Couldn’t put this friendship back again, And all of the time spent just passing the blame, Trying not to change but some things aren’t meant to stay the same. I can barely see you, In my memory, I couldn’t try to save you, Cos you didn’t talk to me. And all of the heartbreak and all of the pain, Couldn’t bring my old friend back again, And all of the sadness and tears that were cried, Don’t change the fact that we’ll never really know why... And all of the talk about making amends, Couldn’t put this friendship back again, And all of the heartbreak and all of the pain, Couldn’t bring my old friend back again...

Lullaby 02:55
Close your eyes, Go to sleep, Rest your head, For me. Settle down, Settle in, Drift away, And dream. Tomorrow when you wake up, We’ll be waiting here, To catch you if you fall, Daisy. Brush your teeth, Learn to crawl, Move around, And start to talk, Brush your hair, Tie your shoes, And suddenly, You’re off to school. Tomorrow when you wake up, We’ll be waiting here, To hear you if you call, Daisy.

Maybe I’m short-sighted, closed-minded and safe, But I wanted and hoped that you’d stay, Well, maybe I’m just too afraid of change, Cos sometimes I think back on the months and the years, And through vision blurred by the tears, I finally see things so clearly. I’ll never understand the way it is when I’m looking back at this. Maybe you were afraid of the same things as me, Of not seeing the things you could see, Of not being the things you could be, And so you left without much by way of goodbyes, With tears in the backs of our eyes, We covered them up with our smiles. Remember when we used to be friends, We knew exactly how it all would end, But now we’re older it’s all changed, And it’ll never be the same, Cos now it feels we’ve thrown it all away.
