Ben Preece (Time Off)
I love your smile Chorus
I love the laugh lines at your eyes
I love so many little things that you do
This song might take a while for me to sing to you
I think I'm addicted to you
I think I'm addicted to you
I love to fall asleep with you inside
I love so many little things that you do
This song might take a while for me to sing to you
Chorus x2
Sometimes, I can't get away from you Pre-chorus Chorus Don't try, to tell me all about your strife Pre-chorus & Chorus
Sometimes, all I wanna do is escape from you
But you make me so crazy
It's all bottled up inside
And you send me up the twist and round the bend
Makes me wanna run and hide from you, and
Scream
Let it out, get it out
Let me release
There there, it's all better now
Cause I'm, tuning out just to get me by
Take a shot Pre-chorus Chorus Pick a pie Pick apart Pre-chorus
Look around you
Look at what you've got
And what've you got to lose?
Take a chance
Shake off inertia
Snap out of that trance
And don't look so confused
Go blow a fuse
I'm gonna take you for a ride
Strap yourself in for the otherside
Hope you can swim, it's a rising tide of
Three-eyed, deep fried
Oversupplied lies
It crawls out the box
And sings a haunting lullaby
Of what is lost
How the seeds were sown
By another money chart
The fields are overgrown
With just another clone
Who will atone?
Chorus
Three-eyed, deep fried
Synthesized suicide
Fluoro-dyed, supersized
Oversupplied lies
Listen to the loneliness I can see it written in your eyes Chorus Fallen down to the cruel earth So stand up and dry your tears Chorus
You hide in shame
Can't remember how you reached this place
All you remember is pain
Confusion so deep
You don't know where you're heading for
And all you do is weep
See here, don't you
Don't look at me like that
I can't help you
Don't ask me to
Don't ask me to
Stripped of your wings
A victim of your sweet innocence
And now you know about sweet sin
Put a smile on your face
Make your life what you want it to be
Don't hide in disgrace
Tears sweet as your pouting lips and chocolate eyes Fears keep in a box you hid as a child Bridge Chorus Past lives tend to haunt you in the sweetest dreams Last night, your surrender has become surreal Bridge
Honeychild, stop your soundless cries, look at the night
Honeychild, feel the poison spread inside your mind
Memories of a bad tomorrow
Catch your breath and hide your sorrow
Cause I've seen what you do if you try
Bad can't be good honey child
Honeychild, every thought is mirrored in your tears
Honeychild, the world is never quite as it appears
Chorus
I'm so happy, now it's raining down ‘Cause I am me and you are you Tussles and mudfights make me smile ‘Cause I am me and you are you
Love the feel of the mud on the ground
And ‘tween my toes
I'm so happy, dancing in the rain
Splashing naked in this puddle, without shame
Life is free and beautiful
Skinny dip in the river, then warm up by the fire
Take it slow
Life is free and beautiful
Love and hate are funny things But in the end I realise Chorus The wine is flowin' through my bones The pain of pleasure sinking in Chorus Bridge Da dum dum Chorus
The strangest yet is how I swing
Between the two
The truth and all its little lies
Have come unglued
It's a game that we've played
And I can't escape right now
Love we've made on bed's unmade
But it's turned into a rout
You break my heart with sticks and stones
Of sweet revenge
The taste of sugar-coated sin
Has me condemned
Love and all its little lies
Shouldn't come as a surprise
To open eyes (repeat)
Down in the basement They're feeling lonely Chorus The leather is cracked now And down in the basement Chorus
All Covered in dust
There's some red dancing shoes and they're
Kicking up a fuss
All on their own
Their shoe shine is tainted and they're
Neglected and alone
Neglected and alone
Kick up your heels and let's make some noise
Kick up your heels and let's make some noise
The ribbons are soiled
But they can still jump and tap and spin
They can make some noise
They're tapping their toes
They're stomping and stamping and they
Spin as they go
Spin as they go
Sometimes I wonder how you've been
Sometimes I wonder 'bout the life you're living in
And it's been so long now
Memories fade like photographs
Our lives moved on now
Do you think of me... at all
It's way too easy to lose a friend
I still don't know how it came to an end
You didn't pick up the phone
Was I not cool enough for you?
I felt so alone
Do you miss me... at all
Bridge
I wish you happiness
I hope you found love's caress
I must confess
I miss you
Miss me too...
My mind, my mind Pre-chorus Chorus These thoughts I've yet to find unravel in my mind Pre-chorus Chorus
These words they come undone and trip over my tongue
A dictionary at my feet
Pretty penny's never more, these thoughts are worth much more
I'll whisper if you'll be discreet
So ordinary, it's extraordinary
So ordinary
Sweep the cobwebs from my mind
What would you find?
I've lost my peace of mind
Help me find
My mind, my mind
And never pass these lips
This train of thought is off the tracks and never coming back
Be patient, persist
I had an orange epiphany She cuts it differently And she say, hey, hey In my orange epiphany My world's flipped upside-down And I say, hey, hey
Just the other day
Happened out on the street
When I passed this old lady
She's not the same
And she smiled as I walked on by
She plays a different game
I sat down to think
This could change my life
I need a drink
I'm tempted to say
I wanna tell everyone
So they can feel the same way
Chorus Anytime I'm on fire,
Dame sweet sangria
Alegria
La copa de vida
Yeah I need some of your
Sweet sangria
Alegria
Naranja y vino,
Hielo, tu y yo
It's 'cause of you
A liquid burning with desire,
Slips down so smooth
Citrus taste, my pulse rate
Has gone through the roof
Cinnamon on my tongue
Can you taste it too?
Chorus
Anytime you come by
You know I'm waiting for you
Took a chance on this romance
It must be taboo
Apple spice, tastes nice
It's soaking through... me
Red wine is divine
I'm feeling deja vu
Chorus
Tear away this mask of sanity
Watching my life slip away
Completely lost in this sea of humanity
Just kinda driftin' day by day
Chorus
So I'm looking for a change
But this path seems kinda strange
Feeling listless, just hangin' round
I've got that dark moon energy
Try to sail away, but I've run aground
Call for help but there's only me
Chorus
So now I'm looking for a change
But this path seems kinda strange
So now I'm looking for a change
Nothing will ever be the same
We're singing and dancing for the snow We're wailing our bodies twist and turn Chorus The flames beg for a sacrifice The firelight flickers on our faces Chorus
It left us and it seems so long ago
Now our mountain's melting away
The rhythm of the drums make us yearn
For sweet turns in the trees everyday
For you lose yourself up here in the mountains
Where the sky's so clear and blue, so blue
The trees have donned their white winter dresses
I'm in love with face shots too, how ‘bout you?
We're caught in them completely mesmerized
Dreams of floating free take flight
Our wild cry must be going places
May the snow goddess listen tonight
I tasted the salty sea Chorus Listen to the waves Chorus
In my dreams last night
Lying on the sand
Soaking up sunshine
Soaking up the sweet sunshine
And I miss the way you wash over me
Surfing in your waves, just floating free
And I miss the way you wash over me
I'm too far away from your clear blue sea
Their rhythmic melody
The breeze brings that salty tang
It's rocking me to sleep
It's rocking me to sleep
Don't be confused by what you see Chorus You can't believe a word they say Chorus
It was meant to be a mystery
So just turn off that god-damn TV
It's time to play Don't be mislead by what you read
It won't make sense to you or me
It's just a fantastic fantasy
We're living today
I'm looking for something
I'm looking for something
It ran away
I'm looking for something
I think we lost something
We threw it away
On the big shiny flashy news today
It's a neon holly-tainment hey hey hey
On the news today
Can you see her It's so easy Feeling scared now that the mask's been ripped away? Find a new place Fade away in the crowd Just a beautiful little flower on the wall
Trying so hard to hide
Just another beautiful flower on the wall
To curl right up inside
Just so easy to withdraw
You don't know how to stop running and to stay
Where no one knows the lies
Start all over again with the game
Replace the old disguise
But you know it's always the same
Just a beautiful little flower on the wall
