16 Beats
(About Last Night - Track 1)
By my side
And I like
Where've you been
Long lost angel
Ride my bike
So much faster
Sixteen beats
And I'm back with you
There's a house
Inside different rooms
I've thought
I can see that
There's one door
Never opened
I'm inside
Asking questions
Why can't I
Play my songs for you?
You know I tried last night
This is all I came up with
Yeah
I like your style
Styling me
I want to smile
So bad loose(?)
You make me feel
And I'm feeling you
But there's
One thing I've got to say
Why can't I
Play my songs for you?
You know I tried last
This is all I came up with
Yeah
Why can't I
Play my songs for you?
You know I tried last
This is all I came up with
Yeah
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
Why can't I?
About Last Night
(About Last Night - Track 2)
This is all
About last night
This is all
About last night
The lights are low
The diner is not what it seems
Am I in a dream?
Hotel car
In my head
Where is the key?
Little secrets
Are coming clear
You're making plans
So she's got something to break
You're holding hands
The accidental mistake
When you change your mind
She can see
She's left confused and defeated
This was not meant to be
This is all about last night
Yeah
This is all about last night
She's got her face on the jacket, it's warm
She never felt so unsafe before
She gets caught in a b-grade storm
If you do this do it for you
If you do this do it for you
If you do this do it for you
If you do this do it for you
Take her back she cannot stay there
She doesn't know what else to do
If you do this do it for you
And stop before you start
Making plans
So she's got something to break
You're holding hands
The accidental mistake
When you change your mind
She can see
She's left confused and defeated
This was not meant to be
This is all
About last night
You turn to watch her leave now
She's alright
She's alright
Home
(About Last Night - Track 3)
Came home
Everything was a blur
All mixed up and messed up
Eyes all tired and broken
Came home
Everything was a blur
All mixed up and messed up
Eyes all tired and broken
Came home
Everything was a blur
I saw the map
I've found the map
It was floating and faded and torn
The missing pieces they were gone
This does not make sense
It's all so incomplete
It's all so incomplete
I forgot to say goodbye
I forgot to read the signs
I forgot to say goodbye
I forgot to read the signs
And the map lies here
It's torn and faded
On a dark street lined with pine trees
I close my eyes
Touch the surface
It's all so personal
And confusing
It's all so personal
And confusing
This Is More
(About Last Night - Track 4)
This is all I remember
One night's dating back through December
Golden moon in your eyes
I'm under water
Such a surprise
This is more
Than desire
I feel all
Like I'm higher
Than before
This is more
You're on stage in a different town
And the press say that they want some more
You deserve the award
I'm under water
Such a surprise
This is more
Than desire
I feel all
Like I'm higher
Than before
This is more
This is more
Than desire
I feel all
Like I'm higher
Than before
This is more
Just a little time
(About Last Night - Track 5)
Just a little time
By yourself
I hate to see you sad
I know the drive will do you good
And while you're outside
I hope you clear your mind
Driving down the road to come home to find
Giving all is great
Stars on fire
Catch you while you sleep
Tearing out the pages
Just to keep
Me alive
Warming to your charm
Changes will surround us
It's the carnival of seasons
I decided you should be here with me now
I'm not leaving
You're what keeps me
All inspired
Have I told you
In the room
I played guitar
I wrote about you
All night long and
I'm not leaving
You're what keeps me
All inspired
Have I told you
In the room
I played guitar
I wrote about you
All night long and
I'm not leaving
You're what keeps me
All inspired
Have I told you
Recovery
(The Last Beautiful Day - Track 1)
Time for beer
Chequered cheer
Now you're here
I can see so clearly
No more question marks
Sympathy cards
It's in the stars
Troubled times are clearing
Now it's recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay
It's a new day
Recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay
It's a new day
I was wrong
You were right
Gotta stop
Feeling like it's never ending
We could go
Check out the show
Happiness
It's the sound of how you're feeling
Recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay
It's a new day
Recovery
Looks like it's gonna be
Okay
It's a new day
Look into my eyes and you will see what you wanna find
You can paint the picture of your fever just to get it off your mind
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
It's a new day
Recovery (It's a new day)
Looks like it's gonna be (It's a new day)
Okay (It's a new day)
It's a new day (It's a new day)
Recovery (It's a new day)
Looks like it's gonna be (It's a new day)
Okay (It's a new day)
It's a new day (It's a new day)
I've Got You and You've Got Me (Song of Contentment)
(The Last Beautiful Day - Track 2)
I wanted it so bad
Making all the props
Sitting on my swing
Giving all I've got
But when they dim the lights
Forgetting my stage fright
I find that little smile
Cause I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I light his cigarette
Acting with regret
Saying all my lines
Pretending things are fine
But when the curtains close
Everybody knows
I climb into the space
Where I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
What happens when I say
This may be the last beautiful day?
I'm dancing in my sleep
With promises I'll keep
Feeling so complete
Cause I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
I've got you and you've got me
(Everybody knows, everybody knows) I've got you and you've got me
(Everybody knows, everybody knows) I've got you and you've got me
(Everybody knows) I've got you and you've got me
No Party
(The Last Beautiful Day - Track 3)
Caught me in a rush
I hate myself for this
Longing to lay down beside you
And tell you how it is
My scarf is folded clean
Shoes beside my bed
Movies and then smiling
All these ideas in my head
Ideas on belief
These are ideas we can share
Stroll across the party floor
You've spoiled it all
You've spoiled it all
All the colours in my mind
Patterns in my eyes
You're the one who made me come alive
And after spoiling all my cheer
I realise why I'm here
You're the one who made me come alive
It'll Be Alright
(The Last Beautiful Day - Track 4)
This time
It's not about you
So tired
But what can you do
Last night
I wanted to say
Move on
And look on the brighter side
But your eyes
Never seem to open
There's a whole world outside
See I'm trying to tell you
It'll be alright
Did not
Think you leave it this long
Work hard
Or maybe you've got nothing to say
Please call
I'm begging you to
Forgot
I never got back to you
And your eyes
Never seem to open
There's a whole world outside
See I'm trying to tell you
It'll be alright
And when your all alone
You catch your breath
You save yourself
You save yourself
It's easy
If you'd only try
It's easy
But your eyes
Never seem to open
There's a whole world outside
See I'm trying to tell you
It'll be alright
I thought you'd call
I thought you'd change
But why expect
Oh so much from your friends
I know who you are
And you know who I am
Is that not enough?
Time To Go To Sleep
(The Last Beautiful Day - Track 5)
Time to go to sleep
Just lay back (just lay back)
And relax
Time to close your eyes
Just lay back (just lay back)
And relax
On the seventh floor
I can see it, it's a swimming pool
But it looks like a river
Saturday, what a day
I'm not lonely
But I'm
All alone
I'm trying to go to sleep
But I can't go to sleep
I lie awake with
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
Messy mind?
Underneath the streetlight
You see who I am
It lights up the patterns and games
And incomplete sounds and new names
Saturday, what a day
I'm not lonely
But I'm
All alone
I'm trying to go to sleep
But I can't go to sleep
I lie awake with
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
Messy mind?
I'm trying to go to sleep
I lie awake with
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
Messy mind?
Coloured lights and ideas
Stacked up high
Where's the diamond in my
Messy mind?
Yes
(The Last Beautiful Day - Track 6)
I know what you like best
Yes
Yes
Yes I get the feeling that
You're tired of all my moody ways
I'm tired of living moody days
Yes
One more breath and I will become
A river that is deep and still
I'd wait here all night until
You said yes
Yes
Yes
(Washed out fears)
(With midnight tears)
(There's washed out fears) A little sleep will brush away
(With midnight tears) The fingerprints I found today
(There's washed out fears) And I'm not going far away
(With midnight tears) In just eight weeks I'll solve the case
And I'll be in your car and driving
Straight through a red light
While you're running through my mind
Arrest me and say yes
Will you hang the trophy in the cabinet
You are yet to build?
You withstood the stormy nights so well
Is this a dream?
Yes it is
Is this a dream?
Yes it is
Inside
(The Last Beautiful Day - Track 7)
Gotta get away so I can write some more
TV on and record playing, what's it for?
Career move is watching you travel far
Watch a building being built, the pieces are
Replacing what's missing inside your heart
In the distance dying on your bedroom floor
Playing songs I used to know
Gonna get my things and take them down
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here
Playing what seems pretty clear
I'm gonna get my things and take them down (It's alright)
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here (Here we are)
Playing what seems pretty clear
I'm gonna get my things and take them down (Inside)
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here
Playing what seems pretty clear
Sending letters back and forth
What can we do
Here's a mountain and a heartbeat
Just for you
Situation tells me that we're going to
Even if we have to pay
Gonna get my things and take them down
Gotta find a friend and move around
I'm not satisfied with staying here
Playing what seems pretty clear
It's alright
Here we are
Inside
It's alright (It's alright)
Here we are (Here we are)
Inside (We're inside)
(We're alright)
It's alright
Here we are
We're inside
We're alright
It's alright (It's alright)
Here we are (Here we are)
Inside (We're inside)
(We're alright)
It's alright (It's alright)
Here we are (Here we are)
Inside (We're inside)
(We're alright)
Come Back
(The Last Beautiful Day - Track 8)
When dark as night
I saw the light
It shone with more
Desire than
I'd seen before
The leaves begin to fall
I smell the air
And hear a voice saying
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
I need you now
It's time to lie
Down on the shore
Where you once cried
For more, for more
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
I need you now
It's true
It's true
I've been avoiding you
When all you gave to me
Was so pure and so complete
The sounds that lull to sleep
The flickering of the lights
The water so deep
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
I need you now
It's time to lie
Down on the shore
Where you once cried
For more, for more
Come back
Come back
I need you now
Come back
Come back
I need you now
While You're Away
(The Last Beautiful Day - Track 9)
I've got plans to take you down
Privately we'll make a time
Taking notes and making charts
One machine to map the heart
Silver lining in your mind
Look inside but never find
Hanging pictures on the wall
While you're thinking how you left all
While you're away
With stars in your eyes
The infection is so close to the heart
Give me some time
It's all that I need
You lie beside your dreams in the dark
Please pick up the phone
I picture you asleep
And you're alone
You're listening to the sound
Of your inside
It's never been so sweet or so alive
While you're away
With stars in your eyes
The infection is so close to the heart
Give me some time
It's all that I need
You lie beside your dreams in the dark
Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
It's all I need
Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
It's all that I need
Give me some time
It's all that I need
On Sunday
(The Last Beautiful Day - Track 10)
Director gets in
And changes the lighting
Shooting the scene they begin
Four minutes on
The romance is blooming
Preparing the costume she grins
How about we have a little action
The writer wants some more
He's gonna get some
Yes tonight's the night you're gonna want more
She's the one who's got nothing to cry for
So give up, give in
And tell them the story
Look down and shine from above
Holding his hand
She's singing to herself
I've got a ticket to love
How about we have a little action
The writer wants some more
He's gonna get some
Yes tonight's the night you're gonna want more
She's the one who's got nothing to cry for
She's the one who's got nothing to cry for
