Go ahead and take a look
And I’ll be waiting around the corner
They put the glasses on your face
Won’t let you wait any longer
Lead me off into the distance
Wake me up when we get there
Give me a window on the process
And just run me round and round until I find
A new device
Honestly this is the worst
And you believe the best is coming
Now little eyes are waking up
And it’s over and over and over again

An ideal dream
A rogue state
A small island
And a blank slate
Show me an infinite dark sea
Take me out on a limb to an extremity
And let me be myself
Just let me be myself
Letting go
It’s like we’re floating underwater
Getting out
Cos we were promised tomorrow sooner
But the past is taking over
The future so familiar
Is coming round again
Problems here all left behind
In grains of sand
Deep ocean time
And we can be ourselves
Letting go
It’s like we’re floating underwater
Getting out
Cos we were promised tomorrow sooner
Letting go
It’s like we’re floating underwater
Getting out
Cos we were promised tomorrow sooner
But the past is taking over
The future so familiar
Is coming round again

Spent so long pretending to be
Someone who wasn’t me
I forgot to tie the right knots
Around the familiar trees
Carry me, carry me
Just take me home
Bury me, oh bury me
In soil without a stone
Portioned off
Drained and reclaimed
No anchors on your side
The streets and houses fall down
To the sand at low tide

Go to Greenmount and climb the beacon towers
Go to Greenmount and chase the wasted hours
Check the blood and climb the window
The ghost in the room he knows more than we know
We have to guess where it all is
And pick a direction, pick a direction
Pick a direction, pick a direction
They won’t know
‘Cos they won’t follow
Just head on out
This maze of roads
The dark hills in the distance
If we change our names
They’ll never catch up with us
Pick a direction, pick a direction
Pick a direction, pick a direction
We’ll go now
We’ll go now

Just For A While

I would like to live
In an old house on a hill
Yeah I could just kill for a new vista
I need to see
Which mountains will weigh down on me
Which ones will set me free
Which ones value neighbours
Walking down to say hello
We stay just for a while
And then we leave and we feel fine
We stay just for a while
And then we leave for what could be a long drive
Wherever I go
I look out for faces I know
Stop conversations mid-flow
To tell them I'm leaving
I need to see
Which mountains will weigh down on me
Which ones will set me free
That value new neighbours
Walking down to say hello
