Here With Me
I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
I don't want to call my friends
They might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me
Oh I am what I am
I'll do what I want
But I can't hide
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here
I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me

Hunter
With one light on in one room
I know you're up when I get home
With one small step upon the stair
I know your look when I get there
If you were a king up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again
Wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go
The unread book and painful look
The TV's on, the sound is down
One long pause, then you begin
Oh look what the cat's brought in
If you were a king up there on your throne
Would you be wise enough to let me go
For this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again
Wants to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go, let me leave
For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now
And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking
I want to be a hunter again
Want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go.
I want to be a hunter again
Want to see the world alone again
To take a chance on life again
So let me go
Let me leave
Let me go

Don't Think of me
So you're with her, and not with me
I hope she's sweet, and so pretty
I hear she cooks delightfully
A little angel beside you
So you're with her, and not with me
Oh how lucky one man can be
I hear your house is smart and clean
Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen
Oh how lovely it must be
When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms, don't think of me
So you're with her, and not with me
I know she spreads sweet honey
Backed your best friend, I heard he spent last night with her
Now how do you feel
How do you feel
When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lays in your warm arms, don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
Does it bother you now all the mess I made
Does it bother you now the clothes you told me not to wear
Does it bother you now all the angry games we played
Does it bother you now when I'm not there
When you see her sweet smile baby, don't think of me
When she lats in your arms, don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me
And it's too late and it's too bad, don't think of me.

My Lover's Gone
My lover's gone, his boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn, and as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more, I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again
My lover's gone, I know that kiss will be my last,
No more his song, the tune upon his lips has passed
I sing alone, while I watch the ocean
My lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again.
My lover's gone, his boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn, and as I slept I felt him go
Returns no more, I will not watch the ocean
My lover's gone, no earthly ships will ever bring him home again
Bring him home again

All You Want
I'd like to watch you sleep at night
To hear you breathe by my side
And although sleep leaves me behind
There's nowhere I'd rather be
And now our bed is oh so cold
My hands feel empty, no one to hold
And I can sleep what side I want
It's not the same with you gone
Oh if you'd come home, I'll let you know that
All you want, is right here in this room, all you want
And all you need, is sitting here with you, all you want
It's been three years, one night apart
But in that night you tore my heart
If only you had slept alone
If those seeds had not been sown
Oh you could come home and you would know that
All you want, is right here in this room, all you want
All you need is sitting here with you, all you want
I hear your key turning in the door
I won't be hearing that sound anymore
And you and your sin can leave the way you just came in
Send my regards to her
I hope you've found that
All you want, is right there in that room, all you want
All you need is sitting there with you, all you want
I'd like to watch you sleep at night
To hear you breathe by my side

Thank You
My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life
Push the door I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me and
I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life.

Honestly OK
I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again
I just want to feel deep in my own world
But I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore
On a different day, if I was safe in my own skin
Then I wouldn't be lost and so frightened
But this is today and I'm lost in my own skin
And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore
I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again.
And I'm so lonely I don't even want to be with myself anymore
I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again.
I just want to feel safe in my own skin
I just want to be happy again.

Slide
Even on a day like this when you're crawling on the floor
Reaching for the phone to ring anyone who knows you anymore
It's all right to make mistakes, you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Staring at the same four walls, have you tried to help yourself
The rings around your eyes they don't hide, that you need to get some rest
It's all right to make mistakes you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breath and choose your moment
Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide, slide, slide
Even at a time like this when the morning seems so far
Think that pain belongs to you but it's happened to us all
It's all right to make mistakes you're only human
Inside everybody's hiding something
Take time to catch your breath and choose your moment
Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide, slide, slide
You brought this on yourself and it's high time you left it there
Lie here and rest your head and dream of something else instead
Don't slide
Don't slide
Don't slide, slide, slide

Isobel
I thought it was funny when you missed the train
When I rang you at home they said you'd left yesterday
I thought it was strange when your car was found
By the tree in Ennis where we used to hang around
Dear Isobel, I hope you're well and what you've done is right
Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well, I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming and long will it last
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass
By loving you more
And who he would become, all the things he'd have done
Would he have loved you and not let you down
And would he be stronger than his father
Don't punish yourself, leave it well alone
Dear Isobel, I hope you're well and what you've done is right
Oh it's been such hell, I wish you well, I hope you're safe tonight
It's been a long day coming and long will it last
When it's last day leaving, and I'm helping it pass
By loving you more.

I'm no angel
If you gave me just a coin for every time we say goodbye
Well I'd be rich beyond my dreams, I'm sorry for my weary life
I know I'm not perfect but I can smile
And I hope that you see this heart behind my tired eyes
If you tell me that I can't, I will, I will, I'll try all night
And if say I'm coming home, I'll probably be out all night
I know I can be afraid but I'm alive
And I hope that you trust this heart behind my tired eyes
Cause I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try and try
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I can't live my life
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I won't fly
I know I'm not around each night
And I know I always think I'm right
And I can believe that you might look around
Cause I'm no angel, but please don't think that I won't try and try
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I can't live my life
I'm no angel, but please don't think that I can't cry
I'm no angel, but does that mean that I won't fly.

My Life
What I choose to do is of no concern to you and your friends
Where I lay my hat may not be my home, but I will last on my own
'Cause it's me, and my life, it's my life
Oh the world has sat in the palm of my hand not that you'd see
And I'm tired and bored of waiting for you and all those things you never do
'Cause it's me, and my life, it's my life, it's my life.

Take My Head (Bonus Track)
Touch my skin and tell me what you're thinking
Take my hand and show me where we're going
Lie down next to me, look into my eyes
And tell me, oh tell me what you're seeing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling,
What you feel is what I feel for you
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you,
I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you
See my eyes, they carry your reflection
Watch my lips and hear the words I'm telling you
Give your trust to me and look into my heart
And show me, show me what you're doing
So sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling,
What you feel is what I feel for you
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you
I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you
Take your time, if I'm lying to you
I know you'll find that you believe me, you believe me
Feel the sun on your face and tell me what you're thinking
Catch the snow on your tongue and show me how it tastes
Take your time
Take my hand and if I'm lying to you
I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you
Take your time and if I'm lying to you
I know you'll find that you believe me, you believe me.
I'll always be alone, if I'm lying to you
Take your time and if I'm lying to you
I know you'll find that you believe me, you believe me.
You believe me
You believe me
