Rivers don't run backwards
You can't unwind the time
You're trying to rewrite history
But you're still a part of mine
You say you gave me freedom
Decisions all your own
I'm trying to find a reason
I'm trying to find a song
Chorus
I've got this friend who talks to Jesus
Says if we confess all our sins he'll redeem us!
But I don't think that loving you's a sin, you fan the flames within
And it Slowly burns my skin
Another morning broken
Another daily grind
I see you in the distance
As you're leaving me behind
The water marks the journey
The moon she takes the tide
Nothing left but broken shells
And the scars you left behind.
Chorus
I've got this friend who talks to Jesus
Says if we confess all our sins he'll redeem us!
But I don't think that loving you's a sin, you fan the flames within
And it Slowly burns my skin
Chorus
I've got this friend who talks to Jesus
Says if we confess all our sins he'll redeem us!
But I don't think that loving you's a sin, you fan the flames within
And it Slowly burns my skin
And it Slowly burns my skin
And it Slowly burns my skin
And it Slowly burns my
Skin...

Remember to buy yourself flowers
And to smile at the things you don’t know
It’s only children that own super powers
We gain ours helping them grow
Know that love is a blade that can cut you
But it’s hate that will poison your blood
And with time all your truths will come untrue
There are things you don’t know, but you could.
And the voice in your head that keeps talking
Try to tell it to always be kind
The most dangerous place to be walking
Are the mountains inside your own mind
Visit graveyards but never chase ghosts
Let the dead be at peace and chase love
Things once took for granted - are what we’ll miss most
And we’ll find them below and above
There’s a place in our souls that knows solice
It’s the most precious place we can go
Sit by rivers and trees ‘til your soul finally sees
What your heart and your head need to know
And the voice in your head that keeps talking
Try to tell it to always be kind
The most dangerous place to be walking
Are the mountains inside your own mind
So, remember to buy yourself flowers
And to smile at the things you don’t know
Because we’re measured in days, weeks and hours
We don’t stay here for long then we go
Because we’re measured in days, weeks and hours
We don’t stay here for long then we go

Getting Late (Live)
03:59
|
|||
Well it's getting late and it's cold outside but you're not home.
And I have regret for the things said, the things I've done.
We need the stars to see the stars shining strong, but every hour of every day's dragging on.
No, I'm not okay. No, It's not alright, it's plain to see that until you're stood right by my side, I'll never be.
See, I had this dream just the other night that you came home, but I realised, in the morning light, that you're still gone.
I'm not sleeping since you're gone. Days roll into nighttime, girl, and all the nights are long.
I'm not sleeping anyway. I'm living with the bottle, baby, since you went way.
Well, it's been a while since I seen your smile, and anyway,
No apology is gonna bring your heart back to me.
My head says Go but my heart won't let me let it be.
Oh yeah, my head says go but my heart won't let me let it be.

Beautiful World (Live)
04:04
|

As these moments become memories
Let's just sit on the shoreline and sing all our songs to the sea
Waves break on rocks and still they stick to the beat,
Joining in sweet harmony.
It's a beautiful world, theres so much that we've still yet to see
So let's lock up the doors and switch off all the sh*t they repeat on tv
There's 2 billion beats that we have in our hearts before we're departed
I'm drawn to the life of the gypsies and artists
And I just want to live free.
As these moments become memories
I sing only of you and you sing only of me
And one fine day, I'm sure we'll return to the sea
It's the one place we both long to be.
It's a beautiful world, theres so much that we've still yet to see
So let's lock up the doors and switch off all the sh*t they repeat on tv
There's 2 billion beats that we have in our hearts before we're departed
I'm drawn to the life of the gypsies and artists
And I just want to live free.
And with each passing day I feel closer to you and not further away
The future's uncertain, start living today
Who knows when the curtain will close on this play?
As these moments become memories
Feel the place by my side, where I long for my good friend to be
It’s with age and with time that you learn to let some things just be
So I'll whisper your name to the sea
It's a beautiful world, theres so much that we've still yet to see
So let's lock up the doors and switch off all the sh*t they repeat on tv
There's 2 billion beats that we have in our hearts before we're departed
I'm drawn to the life of the gypsies and artists
And I just want to live free.

My Baby's treating me so bad
My Baby's treating me so bad
Oh so bad.
I love my Baby oh so good
I love my Baby oh so good
Oh so good
When I'm with him my backbone shivers
Lust runs through me like storms and rivers.
He knows that he's got me bad
He's the best damn daddy that I've ever had
He knows that he gets good love from me.
Then he goes and breaks my heart
Again he's tearing me apart
That devil's got me caught up in his chains
I'm not that bad old devil's only flame
My Baby's treating me so bad
My Baby's treating me so bad
Oh so bad.
I love my Baby oh so good
I love my Baby oh so good
Oh so good
When I'm with him my backbone shivers
Lust runs through me like storms and rivers.
He knows that he's got me bad
He's the best damn daddy that I've ever had
He knows that he gets good love from me.
Then he goes and breaks my heart
Again he's tearing me apart
That devil's got me caught up in his game
I'm not that bad old devil's only flame
I'm not that bad old devil's only flame
Bad Old Devil!
