Molly's Mustang

You drove 98 miles to see me
In a second hand car
I didn't know that you could drive
You always were full of surprises
It means so much to me
That you'd go out your way to see
The look upon my face
When you pull up at my place
You took a week off work to be with me
When I came down ill
You know you didn't have to do that
Cause you got sick afterwards
And now I know just what
This little thing that we have got
It means so much to you
Cause of all the things I've seen you do
You drove me out of town to places
We had only ever heard of
But never been before this car
Because we'd have to walk too far
On your drive back home tomorrow
I can only hope that you know
I know how much you care
One day I'll return the favour

Smile, Lovers

Smile, lovers
The honeymoon's almost over
Always starts so picture perfect
Not a grey cloud in the sky
Until every photo captures
Yet another reason why
And you'll wonder if this could last
And if things will ever go back
When it all was so new and fun
So we count from 3 to 1
Falling in and out of passion
From a peak we've left behind
Must we come to lose our senses
When true love's already blind
And the things you held so dearly
Start to fade and disappear
Until all that you can think of
Was were you ever really in love
Do you want to make it out alone
Do you want to make it out alive
Do you want to make it out a little worse for wear but still with someone by your side

On the Line
02:46
|
|
||
Call me from the other side
I might run but I won't hide
Like I used to before we got together
You're only here in what you say
But that's okay and that's alright
Cause I'll wait for you on the line
It's all so difficult
To meet me in Montreal
But I can wait for just
A couple of days, a couple of hours, a couple of minutes
And I can only hear your voice
But I will talk a thousand words
If it means I get another glimpse of you
We'll be together soon enough
But until then I'll just keep waiting
By the telephone until you're on the line
It's so hard to see you
When you're in America
But I can wait for just
A couple of days, a couple of hours, a couple of minutes

Where Is Your Man?
03:05
|
|
||
Where is your man
Did you lose him down the back of your pants
Where is your man
If you need a hand I can help you find him
Come in, catch up
Tell us what you've been up to
Spare no detail
Since the last time we saw you
Don't tell me
You've come here all alone
Don't tell me
Did you let him stay at home
Days like today
Must make you that bit jealous
You'll be okay
Just need to find you a fella
Don't worry
I know that you will be the next
Don't worry
That's because you are the last one left
I'd like to know
What you get up to when you spend your days in your
Room all alone
I'd like to know
What you get up to when you spend your days in your
Room all alone
When you could be out there getting yourself a
Man to call home.

Come Back
02:54
|
|
||
She'll come back to me
Eventually
Once again mine
In precious time
Sure as the sun goes down
You'll be coming back around
I know that these things never change
Just simply rearrange
We are the flame that burns twice as bright
A fiery passion to last the night
You're coming home to see the light
All the times I pushed you away
And the mistakes that I made
You know me by now
And I don't mean what I say
We'll go through this dance once more
When you walk on through that door
Not the first or last time, that's for sure

Leather
02:49
|
|
||
I want to blur the line
Of where I start and where you end
I want to have it all
So where do we begin
I want it all
Hold me in your arms pin me against the wall
Hold me responsible for this siren's call
Take off your leather jacket now
You know I pull it off better anyhow

Cigarettes, But
04:40
|
|
||
All these little things add up and I
Don't think I'm in love
I can't stand all your cigarette butts and I
Don't think I'm in love
I don't think I'm in love
There's a man in my garden
He just stands there in the doorway
Used to think I knew him
Don't know when but things must have changed
Cause he always seems to be a different person the next day
All the things I learn about him, pushes me away
There's a man in my bedroom
Coughing up between the kisses
No point trying to get through
Cause no one changes you just accept
That you can't always look past every last little flaw
And every little thing I learn about him, that's another straw
Never really get to know a person
Only how much you can take
Never really need to find a reason
When there's no reason to stay

Like someone's watching over
Make the right girl disappear
She'll cross her fingers for you
In a weird way
She's got you wrapped around her
You never had a say
She wants to see the centre
Of the universe
She wants to see you happy
She wants to see you hurt
She wants to take you places
You've already been
She's told all of your secrets
She's sold all your sins
Likely to disappear
Yeah without a trace
She wants the world to know you
And your pretty face
She wants to be the centre
Of the universe
She wants to see you happy
She wants to see you hurt

I Get It
05:25
|
|
||
I tell you that I get it
We tell them that we're over it this time
But I don't and I'm not
And I don't know what to do
I'm not sure that I can handle this without you
We don't know where we're going
Maybe we're better off that way
I think I've started showing
I'm starting to recognise your signs of disdain
You go one way
I'll follow behind
If I get lost then I'll pretend
I've changed my mind
It's easier without me
But you enjoy a challenge
You like to stand your ground in hurricanes
And break things you can't mend
I'm friends with all my problems
I need the company
But after all that's happened
To rest my empty head is all I need
I tell you that I get it
But the only thing I get
Is in trouble with you
I'm not sure I regret it
When the only thing I get
Is a memory of you

Until Tomorrow
05:16
|
|
||
Hold me, here in your arms and
Protect me from all of the fears of you
Leaving for somebody who knows how
To say the words
I've been writing love letters in my sleep
But I can't get them to reach you
I'd hold you close but you're so far away
And as the words spill out my mind onto
The covers over you
Nothing that I say seems to get through
Sleepless nights that only get colder
Things I never meant to say hold their place
In my mind as I'm sure they do for you
And things I never said running round my head
What good are they to me while you fall into a dream
And if you drift away I know I'm to blame
What if I awake just to find you've stepped away

Alone Without You
04:50
|
|
||
Take me home
So I'm not alone
I want to be with you
When the morning comes
So take me home
I never want to be alone
Alone without you
I think it's safe to say my dear
That we're here
We've finally reached the end of the night
And there's no else I'd rather hold on to
As we stumble our way through the rest of our lives
And as we make our way through the world's remains
Through all of the fear and the pain
The hands we hold together remind us that
We're not alone in the stormy weather
And oh, the love remains
But never stays the same
It simply moves in ways
I never thought could be explained
And oh, you got that look on your eyes
The one that makes me melt inside
Cause I know everything will be alright
