Tea Song 03:33
I'd like a space for my own head, Where I can hide the thoughts that I don't want read, They always get read. And I can say the things that I never say, I never say the things that I want to say, Even now. But I wonder how life would be, If we drank nothing but cups of tea, Oh think of all the things that never happen, We're chasing all these plans but we can't quite catch them. And sometimes I make things difficult, I've got a million ideas, but it's not my fault They just float out of my ears. So this is a sincere apology, For sounding like a fudging anthology, And wasting your time. But I wonder how life would be, If we drank nothing but cups of tea, Oh think of all the things that never happen, We're chasing all these plans but we can't quite catch them.

The best and the worst time of year Is when the sky is grey And I'll count the leaves as they fall from the trees One by one Me and you will lie on the ground And we'll watch the sky fall down, And everything changes but we'll stay the same How we do That feeling in your chest, It drifts and it roams without rest As I fail to see what's been bothering me Through the rain With everything now to hand, Is this how it looked when you planned? Those simple decisions that make my life worth living Sometimes. Everything has changed but the seasons stay the same.

I hope this works out for me I'm only 18 but I feel 80 Cos it's not like it is on TV And I just wish that things would come easy I don't know what I want but I know that I want to be free And you find yourself living in a haze And you find yourselves going separate ways And you find yourself, find yourself Lose it all... to you. And the weakest part of me Is facing difficulty Don't I deserve to be happy? Or am I mistaken? Look away, look away from the place that you'll stay Look away etc etc etc

Books 03:41
I've walked this city so many times That I know it like the back of my own broken hand My broken hand They say the memories will fade Like red to yellow, like black to grey Like black to grey But I am the link you missed The bones you fixed when we would kiss and I am your strength and your safety, I am your favourite book A page turner, your hope and luck Well and one day I hope you find reality I wait forever and a day Stars attack and may decay Like in a sci-fi film And you will come and go and change And I will wonder aimlessly through towns and bays Why don't you blow me away? But I am the link you missed The bones you fixed when we would kiss and I am your strength and your safety, I am your favourite book A page turner, your hope and luck Well and one day I hope you find reality
