Mothers Words

I hold on to my mothers words
She knows more than I’ll ever learn
Saying “hold on child keep in the light
Even when the sun sets into night”
So I’ll hold on to the best of you
Though I’m taking showers far too long
It’s the warm embrace I’m looking for
And my back just needs a little more
Oooh, I just need your love, lover
Oooh, I just need your love, lover
Oooh, I just need your love, lover
Oooh
I hold on well to my mistakes
And here’s a bet you do the same
It’s like growing weeds in the garden bed
But I can’t give up on this love just yet
Oooh, I just need your love, lover
Oooh, I just need your love, lover
Oooh, I just need your love, lover
Oooh
I just need your love
If you please come to me, lover
If you please come to me, lover
If you please come to me, lover
If you please
Oh come on now
Oooh, I just need your love, lover
Oooh, I just need your love, lover
Oooh, I just need your love, lover
Oooh

Magpies

All the money made
Every dollar for a fantasy
I'm pushing millions up hill
Like a magpie stealing shiny things
It's getting heavy by the day
Deeper by the night
I keep it to myself
Baby it's not right
I'm always holding, hoping
I know I've got to knock it out
I know it's not the easy way
To light it up set it to flame
A cargo that I can not hold
I've got to let it go
Stay here show me something
Just so that I can see
The bubble over my head
Just a magpie stealing shiny things
It's getting heavy by the day
Deeper by the night
Keep it to myself
Baby it's not right
It's getting heavy by the day
Deeper by the night
I keep it to myself
Baby it's not right
I'm always holding, hoping
I know I've got to knock it out
I'm always holding, hoping
I know I've got to knock it out
It's getting heavy by the day
Deeper by the night
Keep it to myself
Baby it's not right
It's getting heavy by the day
Deeper by the night
Keep it to myself
Baby it's not right now
And I know it's not the easy way
Light it up set it to flame
A cargo that I can not hold
Got to let it go

Saying These Goodbyes
03:58

Sometimes I wanna know and call you on the phone just to listen
Is your voice still the same? I don't know why it would sound different
We both know it's not easy choosing whether to go or stay
But you got a plane to a city where you saw a better future played
Saying these goodbyes and I die a little each time
Saying these goodbyes and I die a little each time
It's a little odd to smell you in the arms of another
It didn't feel the same but I held on too long undercover
Time calls the past into question holding flags at every crossroad
And our days roll on in different seasons and some things I'll never know
Saying these goodbyes and I die a little each time
Saying these goodbyes and I die a little each time
Saying these goodbyes and I die a little each time
Saying these goodbyes and I die a little each time
Sometimes I want to know and call you on the phone just to listen

Orange City

I found a hill in my neighbourhood
It wasn't high but the view I took
With no sense of direction
But some streets I knew so I held on them
Oh can you see the glow
Lit up in orange rows
How could this city not be my home
My home
And we grew a field in my neighbours yard
It wasn't much but the work was hard
We didn't know how long it would grow
But before we knew it they'd sold the home
Oh can you see the glow
Lit up in orange rows
How could this city not be my home
My home
My home
How can the familiar feel so vague?
You bumped your head and I'm not there to save you
And we got robbed under our own nose
But it's still my town even with what it throws
So oh can you see the glow
Lit up in orange rows
How could this city not be my home
My home
My home

Heartache

Strangest times when your on your own
When the lights are on but the ghosts are home
The boots by the door, they miss you
And I don't have feet like yours
God knows I'd wear them
If I'd not grown roots through this floor
What to do with an aching heart
What to do with an aching heart
You keep running and I'll throw the darts
And I'll throwing til I hit that mark
And you come back
And you come back
Strangest times when it's all OK
In the darkest night and it feels like day
We've got views to build on
And I know how to wear soles through
There's no holes in my hands
But these here hopes do tend to sieve through
What to do with an aching heart
What to do with an aching heart
You keep running and I'll throw the darts
And I'll throwing til I hit the mark
And you come back
And you come back
