You Floor Me

You floor me
I never feel as tall without you
So why don't you hold me and shake me
Hold me still, those big brown eyes of yours and weight me
Look where we've been, the places we've seen
Away we go
Look at us now, see how we've grown
Away we go
We fight we play we burn so bright as the day
We fight we play we burn so bright sometimes I have to look away
Come cradle me, create a feeling
Twist your heel into my neck if you want to
Come disable me of all of my meaning
You know that I'll make time if I have to
Words fail me
It's eye-welling, soul-selling, smile-bending, throat-stopping madness
Come sidle on over here over to me
Furl yourself so easy, hurl yourself into me
Look where we've been, the places we've seen
Away we go
Look at us now, see how we've grown
Away we go
We fight we play we burn so bright as the day
We fight we play we burn so bright sometimes I have to look away
It's all noise, all just restless and posture
Fills my head with fickle weather's roster
Clear as a blackbird verse you stand there all
Fulcrum and fruit, the centre, the great and small
Wake me up with your sweet honey coffee colour eyes
Show me the best of you when they look away
For all the rules I could know you half as well as I do,
You never fail to flame me with sweetest surprise

When I Grow Up

Monday's cool, Tuesday too
Wednesday play the fool
Thursday's pain and Friday's shame
Saturday back to school
Sunday's my day of rest Lord give me rest Lord
Give me rest
Get this weary head up smile show your face get out of bed
The weight of the world on my shoulders, who knows why
Gotta be someone when I grow up before I die
Spring and autumn feel the same
The wash and the burn of the rain
Who knows among the summer show
I could grow, plateau or change
Winter inside in spite of it all I might germinate like others do
I've seen some others fly the blue sky and be big be bold be youthful
The weight of the world on my shoulders, who knows why
Gotta be someone when I grow up before I die
January kiss like a stone
April is a marksman unknown
August can be anything far and wide
An island overgrown
October feels all restless, love and tender, windswept eyes
Wait beyond December, still be seeds to sow
Some days up, some days down
Sometimes the talk of the town
I can be what I need to be to get by
And I can fall so hard to the ground
Far off the radar and out there, so far out there, so far out
Painfully mundane and back to it Monday, got no more room for doubt
The weight of the world on my shoulders, who knows why
Gotta be someone when I grow up before I die

Drive Down With Me

Drive down with me
Won't you come see what lies in store
I won't promise you the world
Just a good time that you'll enjoy
For it's not easy to say just where we are going
And it's not for me to brake now the wheels are turning
Pack your favourite clothes
Let's look as good as we feel at home
Pack your confidence and stash
All the ambition you have in the back
I've got so much room for the things that we lack
And there's food and drink, man I've got it on tap
And this is now our new life
Driving by and we do what we like
And we're always here with a plan
Living it up in our homemade van
It's not hard for me to see this is where we're going
I'm so happy to take a chance and keep this ongoing
It's not easy to say just where we are going
I'm so happy to take a chance and keep this ongoing
The wheels are turning

Cast Back Your Mind

Cast back your mind and all the seven day old nostalgia
For reluctant to give back the borrowed time
We were weekend weary
Filled with springtime's might-be's
And the hellebore hues of after hours were only ours to see
How far have we come
Right here now could be anywhere in the world
Under a sky like this one,
So vague you can take it with you
Wear that smile, wear the whole damn day it's yours to pick and choose
Your favourite shirt of mine, suits you far better
When you can pretend that it's lived in
That you've been here forever
The motions we go through are practised routines
And have you seen the way I'm falling over for you?
Cast back your mind, this song won't write itself love
All I can think is giving it all away
It's all I can do to think, remembering outside my car
"She's got those beautiful, she's got the darkest eyes"
She looks at me like the springtime that wakes the trees
When the sun is so bright it burns a hole in the breeze
