Never Be the Same

Verse
Calling out your name every day and night
Reaching out to you again and still and I don’t hear you, I don’t hear you Wandering the streets in the fading light
Walking next to you but never really and I don’t see you, I don’t see you
Refrain
(and) things are never going to be the same
Verse
(It’s) been so long since I saw you face to face,
Pictures on a screen aren’t the same, and I can’t touch you, I can’t touch you I can only think about you now and then
I can only dream about you now, but I can’t hold you, I can’t hold you
Refrain
(and) things are never going to be the same (and) we are never going to be the same
Verse
When it’s over do you think that we can talk
Freely about the pain and the hurt, I need to hear you, I need to hear you You say you feel trapped like a rat in a cage
When will you see the world outside, it’s not about you, not about you
Refrain
(and) things are never going to be the same (and) we are never going to be the same
Verse
Running round in circles just to find the light
Spinning out so many times and still, but I can’t find you, I can’t find you Every day looking at the same four walls
Trying to remember what we had, but I can’t feel you, I can’t feel you
Refrain
(and) things are never going to be the same (and) we are never going to be the same

Night Shift
03:27
|
|||
Verse
Moon rising on the boulevard
For the moment it’s the same
Open windows that we tried to shut
Before the change
Chorus
I’ve been working the night shift
Sleeping all day
Lost in the silence
Nothing to say
Verse
All together we can weather the storm
It’s not the same for you and me
We recover just to cover it up
So you can breathe
Chorus
You’ve been working the night shift
Sleeping all day
Lost in the silence
With Nothing to say
Working the night shift
Verse
You place your hand upon the window frame
But I’ve forgotten your tough
I see you’re smile but it’s not the same
When you rust
Chorus
She’s been taking the night shift
Working all day
Lost in the silence
Nothing to say
She’s working the night shift
Sleeping all day
Darling the silence
There’s so much to say

Don't Give Up On Me
03:45
|
|||
Verse
You know I can steel
Myself for what’s to come
And you know I can feel
Alone around anyone
I know it can be hard
When it seems like everyday
I go to that place
That makes you want to run away
Chorus
But don’t give up on me
Don’t give up on me today
Verse
I know I was wrong
But I’m so afraid sometimes
And I know I’m only strong
When they come for what is mine
Chorus
But don’t give up on me
Don’t give up on me today
Bridge
You can’t be the same,
And I can feel that
And I can’t be the same
There’s nothing to it
You can’t feel this way forever,
It’s not within you now
Chorus
Just don’t give up on me
Don’t give up on me this way
Don’t give up on me
Don’t give up on me today

Lullaby Tonight
04:37
|
|||
Verse
Love, is it black and white? Are there shades of light? In the darkened sun When I was just a kid, I never said or did, all the things you’ve had to
Chorus/Refrain
Sometimes it seems the world is just too much
Outside (y)our hands and I need to feel your touch
You shouldn’t have to be the stronger one, it’s not fair and you’re so young But I can’t do this right
And I just need you to sing the lullaby tonight
Verse
Two, one and one, is a greater sum, than I imagined
Home, now you’re safe and warm, there’s no need to mourn, what happened (in the past) yesterday
Chorus/Refrain
Sometimes it seems the world is just too much
Outside our hands and need to feel your touch
You shouldn’t have to be the stronger one, it’s not fair and you’re so young But I can’t do this right
And I just need you to sing the lullaby tonight
Bridge
Wake up tomorrow
Forget about today
This can't be forever
Break on to the sea
Verse
When, do we give up the reigns, let in the pain, and stop protecting I hope, we’ll do enough, you’ve taught us love, can we live up to it?
Chorus/Refrain
Sometimes it seems the world is just too much
Outside our hands and need to feel your touch
You shouldn’t have to be the stronger one, it’s not fair and you’re so young But I can’t do this right
And I just need you to sing the lullaby tonight
