Only You

You will follow love from a distance, ooh
You will feel the voices calling you, following you
Don't run from your last chances
You will miss it when it's only you
Only you
What made you catch me
Only you
What did you see in me to make it come true
What made you notice
Only you
Only you had the room to spare
And I had to carry on
Loving all of your seasons
Cherish on
All your reckless unreasons
Carry on for only you
Only you
You found my heart beat
Only you
Look what it meant to me to see something through
Look what you've made of me
Only you
Who knew a mess could clean up so well
And now that you've found me farewell
(And what will you send me)
You will follow love from a distance, ooh
You will feel the voices calling you, following you
Don't run from your last chances
You will miss it when it's only you
Only you
You will follow love from a distance, ooh
You will feel the voices calling you, following you
Don't run from your last chances
You will miss it when it's only you
Only you
You will follow love from a distance, ooh
(Carry on loving all of your seasons)
You will feel the voices calling you, following you
(Cherish on all your reckless unreasons)
Don't run from your last chances
(Carry on loving all of your seasons, oh)
You will miss it when it's only you
(Carry on for only you)
Only you

Nameless

If I were a mother, I'd wake every night
Straining to keep my eyes open wide
Showing love no matter who was in sight
But I'm not a mother
No, I'm not a mother tonight
If I were at home, what a daughter I'd be
Showing the words that phones take from me
Singing in church in four part harmony
But I'm not at home
So, what is my home tonight
Oh, somehow the meaning of my name came undone
From walking in the snow
If I were asleep
I could dream it alright
Stop the unraveling, cut out the fights
Hold out my arms to a child out of sight
But I'm not asleep
And I will have no such dream tonight
Oh, somehow the meaning of my name came undone
From walking in the snow
Just as nameless I came
I am nameless again tonight

Eighth of June

Is it any wonder I don't know what to do
I could spend the rest of my life trying to describe you
How you're always there
How you always care
How you're you, oh
What is this love
How is this love
Why is this love I'm fearing
Is it any wonder why I crash in the end
I can count a hundred reasons why I learned to distrust men
But that isn't you
And there's nothing new to defend
What is this love
How is this love
Why is this love I'm fearing
Could it be cuz I was born on the eighth of June
Blame the moon
I wanna know the reason why I don't need a reason to run
I wanna be somebody's baby
Sorta maybe
Well it was fun, but there's a cross on the road when it's done
Is it any wonder I don't know where we stand
Add up all the rights and wrongs and I'm lost in a no-man's land
And it isn't fair
That I let you care and then ran
What is this love
How is this love
Why is this love I'm fearing
Could it be cuz I was born on the eighth of June
Blame the moon
I wanna know the reason why I don't need a reason to run
I wanna be somebody's baby
Sorta maybe
Well it was fun, but there's a cross on the road when it's done
Done
Done
Is it any wonder it was never enough

Neener

She's a girl who laughs in the morning
Whose witty and corny with no reservation
She has eyes that change with the weather
That make you feel better
Like pulling on a favourite sweater
I know she knows I'll miss her so
It's so easy every time
Every line
She's the one I call when I worry
There's never a hurry to end a conversation
She can make a song or a movie
That's funny or groovy, yeah
She puts sense back in sensation
I'll go, I'll go, I'll miss her so
And if I'm lucky it won't feel too long
Feel too long
Feel too long
Til I'm home with my friend again
I'll come and go and miss her so
She'll come and go and miss me so
We'll come and go and come and go
Every day's a chance to discover
More reasons to love her, more kinds of inspiration
If you're getting grouchy or meaner
You might need a neener

Peace of Mind

You mail the boxes early
So they're there before your plane has hit the ground
Your family gets together
They're not used to thinking that you'll stick around
And there's no use looking back and yet you can't help
Can't help
Waking every morning
Wondering how the walls could change without a sound
And nothing holds together
Old and new are fighting for attention every day
Sleepless, senseless
Fighting the desire to run away
And you hand is on the plug and yet you can't pull
Can't pull
Back from what you're scared of
You find a kind of power in your own lone way
And an eerie love surrounds you
You hope that in the distance
Some loving arms will open up for you
But now you must resist it
Cuz there's something else that you were made to do
You can read until you're read and yet you must know
Must know
Peace of mind
You need to feel the wires realign
More than you need a lover
