Education - Live

It's a funny kind of game
One you win less than you lose
You search for the person who sets you ablaze with the way that they say your name
You search for the person who tells you the truth
In a funny kind of way
It's an education
We try people on and we think they're the one and we start writing songs
And suddenly then they change the station
No one could blame you
If you found it hard to keep believing
I'm watching the sparks fly
I'm watching the flames grow taller
In spite of the water
Now look into my eyes
And tell me there ain't no room for another
Don't tell me you've got no love left
And with every excuse
Another chance could pass you by
We've all been beaten, we've all been bruised, we've all felt blue
But it'll pull you back for one last try
No one could blame you
If you found it hard to keep believing
But wouldn't it be a shame
If we missed out on the person that we were meant to be with
I'm watching the sparks fly
I'm watching the flames grow taller
In spite of the water
Now look into my eyes
And tell me there ain't no room for another
Don't tell me you've got no love left
All the mean remarks
All the battle scarred lovers sitting at the bar
Is this who you are?
Won't you give it one more second chance, one more brand new start?
I'm watching the sparks fly
I'm watching the flames grow taller
In spite of the water
Now look into my eyes
And tell me there ain't no room for another
Don't tell me you've got no love left
Because I know you do!

Blew My Cover

Footsteps hit the road
I'm leaving on my own
I'm clad from head to toe in clothes I thought you'd like
I 'spose it goes to show
You never really know
Which way the wind will blow, won't always get it right
"Darling, I love you"
"So what?"
You don't always get what you want
Offer up your heart
Watch it fail to start
Sit there all alone
I guess I blew my cover
When I called you lover
Now you'll find another man
To hold your hand
Now that this is over
I guess I'll never show you
All the pretty little daydreams
I had planned
So I guess I'll step away
And wait to start again
I said all I could
The arguments I made were good
I never really thought you would leave me broken down
I know you feel it too
But it's clearly not enough for you
So I don't know what else there's left for me to do
I guess I blew my cover
When I called you lover
Now you'll find another man
To hold your hand
Now that this is over
I guess I'll never show you
All the pretty little daydreams
I had planned
So I guess I'll step away
And wait to start again another day
I tried to tell you
I gave you my all
All I ever had was yours
I tried to tell you
I gave you my all
All I ever wanted was to be yours
I guess I blew my cover
When I called you lover
Now you'll find another man
To hold your hand
Now that this is over
I guess I'll never show you
All the pretty little daydreams
I had planned
So I guess I'll step away
And wait to start again another day

She says to me "sing me something sweet
It must be so easy for you to sweep them off their feet"
Can't you see that it's not quite my speed?
Can't you see that I'm coming apart at the seams?
Breathe in
Thick skin
Keep on going
The world's started turning oh so fast
I'm doing my best just to cling on
I've been burning up, but when you walk past
I'll be sure to show you nothing's wrong
So now it's all fucked
And I'm grinning while I'm dying to be somebody else
I've gotten stuck in a trap, and I can't go back
So come on and scream with me if you want to be somebody else
Breathe in
Thick skin
Keep on going
The world's started turning oh so fast
I'm doing my best just to cling on
I've been burning up, but when you walk past
I'll be sure to show you nothing's wrong
Come on, rhino, set down your glass
Tell me what's going on
You know I know this just can't last
Tell me what's going wrong
The world's started turning oh so fast
I'm doing my best just to cling on
I've been burning up, but when you walk past
I'll be sure to show you nothing's wrong
Come on rhino, set down your glass
Tell me what's going on
You know I know this just can't last
Tell me what's going wrong

Onto the rocks again
That familiar old friend
I've come back to where I said I couldn't
You've fucked my navigation
Sing your siren song
Watch me dance along
Even though I know I shouldn't
I'll tune into your station
Oh, sinking down again
Round and round we go
I never meant to hurt anybody, but I'm no good for you
And I know you feel it too
I've developed an addiction
To this perfect fiction
I'm no good to you and it's no good for me
Why can't I just set you free?
Oh, sinking down again
Round and round we go
I never meant to hurt anybody, but I'm no good for you
And I know you feel it too
I never understood
Why if you love someone you should let them go
I'm trying to decide what to do
And once I do, I promise I'll let you know
If I let it show
I'll let you go
Oh, sinking down again
Round and round we go
I never meant to hurt anybody, but I'm no good for you
And I know you feel it too

Fake Love

I've been reminiscing about those better days
Is it you I'm missing, is it just a phase?
I think it's high time for me to find new ways
To spend my time
I wish I could tell you I'm aching
I wish I could help you when you're breaking down
But I don't know how it's gonna go
I've gotta move on and start saying no
I can feel your hooks in me every time I move
Biting at my skin, pulling me back to you
I've got to get out, got to push on through
Gotta cut you loose
By God, it's gonna hurt
But I've got to escape her
I wish I could tell you I'm aching
I wish I could help you when you're breaking down
But I don't know how it's gonna go
I've gotta move on and start saying no
We wake up, we break up, we make up, it's fake love
We wake up, we break up, we make up, it's fake love
I wish I could tell you I'm aching
I wish I could help you when you're breaking down
But I don't know how it's gonna go
I've gotta move on and start saying no

Brother (The Long Run)

"Shall we talk?"
That's how it always starts
There's a storm brewing in your heart
I don't feel quite right
I can't tell you why
But it always gets worse at night
We'll develop a language
That only we know
We'll get through the anguish
And make it back home
It's holding hands at 4am
It's getting knocked down and standing up again
I don't know how, but we keep going on
It's waking up screaming in the middle of the night
Paralysed by the thought of the daylight
I don't know how but we keep going on
And we're here for the long run
I'm feeling low again
I swear it never ends
I really need you friend
Well you just send for me
I'll fight your enemies
And try to bring you peace again and again
We'll speak in our language
The one that only we know
We'll get through all the anguish
And make sure we get back home
It's holding hands at 4am
It's getting knocked down and standing up again
I don't know how, but we keep going on
It's waking up screaming in the middle of the night
Paralysed by the thought of the daylight
I don't know how but we keep going on
And we're here for the long run
We'll wait for the sun
It only takes one good day to make it all okay
It's holding hands at 4am
It's getting knocked down and standing up again
I don't know how, but we keep going on
It's waking up screaming in the middle of the night
Paralysed by the thought of the daylight
I don't know how but we keep going on
It's holding hands at 4am
It's getting knocked down and standing up again
I don't know how, but we keep going on
It's waking up screaming in the middle of the night
Paralysed by the thought of the daylight
I don't know how but we keep going on
Well we're here for the long run
