Dido Album

I wanna go to bed
With arms around me
But wake up on my own
Pretend
That I'm still sleeping
Til' you go home

Oh
I can't look at you
This morning
I should probably have a sign
That says
'Leave right now or quicker'
You've overstayed your time

If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is safe for me
When I don't believe in love
You're too close to me
And that's why
You have to leave

Maybe I slept peaceful
On your shoulder
Your arm warm around my side
But it's different now
It's morning
And I can't face your smile

The second that I feel
Your safe hands
Reaching out for mine
I slip away and out of sight
You've ovestayed your time

If I don't believe in love
Nothing is good for me
If I don't believe in love
Nothing will last for me
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is new for me
Nothing is wrong for me
And nothing is real for me

When I don't believe in love
Why do you care for me?
When I don't believe in love
Nothing is real for me
If I don't believe in love
You're getting to close to me
And that's why you have to leave
And that's why you have to leave

If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
If I don't believe in love
Nothing is left for me
If I don't believe in love
You're too good for me

Ask me where I go tonight i go back to today last year.
Me and you had to make each other happier, now theres hope with everything.

It's hard enough to feel the world as it is and hold on anything.
Without these quiet times you've brought round here.

I'm Gonna have to run away, I'm sure that i belong some other place.
I've seen another side of all I've seen it keeps me wondering where my family is.

It's hard enough to see the world as it is, and hold on anything.
Without these quiet times coming round here.

Now I miss you...
Now I want you...
But I can't have you...
Even when your here...

Suppose I have to take you with me, broken mind I'd rather leave you here.
To forget everything you've seen and known erase every idea.

And you walk up in the street, and hold my hand and smile.
Well I won't be taken in, cus I know how it turns out.
And it takes me back to these quiet times coming round here.

Now I miss you...
Now I want you...
Your not coming back...
And I need you...
But I can't have you...
Even when your here...

Now I miss you...
Now I want you...
Your not coming back...
And I need you...
But I can't have you...
Even when you're here...

I could put it down to being tired,
Or coming home to an empty house,
A passing moment,
A little man -
No one around to stop me writing to you.

I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of

I could apologise,
And say 'tear it up,
And put it down to the pills I've taken'
Seeing my friends with their lives moved on
Well I've been gently drifting

I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today
As I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow
From an only one change
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of

My home is home
And I'm settled now
I've made it through the restless phase
I have no reason to get bored anymore
My friends are around and your name comes up
Asking if I ever heard from you
I'm keeping it quiet about those words to you
But I meant every word that I said
I stand by every word that I said

I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today
As I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow
From an only one change
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I felt the same today
As I was feeling yesterday
It'll be the same tomorrow
From an only one change
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of
I never wanna say it's love
But it's really what I'm thinking of

No more trips to Grafton Street,
No more goin' there,
To see you lying still,
While we all come and go.

No more watching sunsets,
It seems like summer's holding on.
And no more standing quietly at your window.

No more driving down your road,
Wond'ring when you'll be home.
And no more peace when they all leave
And leave us two alone.

And time we always lose is finally found here with you.
My love, I know we're losing but I will stand here by you.

No more calling friends from the car saying "I don't know when,
I'll be there but I'll do my best to come."
No more letting you warm my hands,
No more trying to take it in.
And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again"
And no more saying "goodbye for the last time again"

And time we always lose is finally found here with you.
My love, I know you're leaving but I will stand here by you.

No more trips to Grafton Street,
No more goin' there,
No more sitting up all night,
Waiting for any word.

Nothing's left that's safe here now,
Nothing will bring you home
Nothing can bring us the peace
We had in Grafton Street.

Some days I wanna, and some days I don't. Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly its gone... Some days I can tell you the truth and some days I just don't. Only a change of mood sun goes down some one says something to quick or to soon, a touch not made one made to late army's of words can not hope to contain...

Then it comes and it goes.

And I have no control.

Some days I can think clear and some days I wont. Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly its gone... Some days I am strong and some days my skins broken and thin. That's when it feels and it takes what it needs and it leaves before I get to know, its only a step away moments that army's of words can not hope to contain...

Then it comes and it goes.

And I cant make it home.

And theres nothing at home.

And it breaks me when it goes.

Some days I wanna, and some days I don't. Sometimes I can feel it and suddenly its gone... Some days I can tell you the truth and some days I just don't. Only a change of mood dream comes out some one tells something to quick or to soon, a move not made one made to late army's of words can not hope to contain...

Then it comes and it goes.

And I seem to hope

And theres nothing at home.

And it breaks me when it goes.

I might have been a singer
Who sailed around the world
A gambler who wins millions
And spent it all on girls

I might have been a poet
Who walked upon the moon
A scientist who wouldtell the world
I discovered something new

I might have loved a king
Been the one to end a war
A criminal who drink champaign
And never could be caught

But among your books
Among your clothes
Among the noise and fuss

I've let it go

I can't stop and catch my breathe
And Look No further for happiness
And I will not turn again
'Cause my heart has found its home

Everyone i'll never meet
And friends I wont now make
The adventures that they could have been
And the risks I'll never take

but Among Your Books
Among your clothes
Among the noise and fuss

I've let it go

I can't stop and catch my breathe
And Look No further for happiness
And I will not turn again
'Cause my heart has found its home

Walking home, burnt and red
Sickly thin, he said
Let us go, down in the woods
Can you be careful she said?
Us 2 little gods with the world at our feet

Sickly thin, how you've grown they said
You'll never fit in your long white dress
When's he going to try and get a job?
I'm just thankful for what we've got she said
Us 2 little gods with the world at our feet

Just this life I need no other
Just this day I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill

Summer's here, early again
Let's take the kid and go and celebrate
Drinking beer, moon on the left
And there's the sun, hold my had he said
Us 3 little gods, with the world at our feet

Just this day, I need no other
Just this life, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill

Just this life, I need no other
Just this night, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here
Let it all stop here, I've had my fill

Just this life, I need no other
Just this day, I need no more
Just this moment, let it all stop here

I've had my fill

Speeches won't be made today, clocks will carry on
flowers wont be left in parks, work will still be done

People wont be dressed in clack, babies will be born
no flags will fly, the sun will rise,
but we know that you are gone

You who love to love and believed we can never give enough

It wakes me every single night, thinking through the day
did you stop at any time have doubts at any stage
were you calm or were you numb or happy just to get it done
I've lived my life without regret until today

You who love to love and believed we can never give enough

I didnt get to say goodbye the day before the day
was trying to get to work on time, thats why I turned away
and missed the most important thing you've ever tried to say
I've lived my life without regret until today

You who love to love and believed we can never give enough
and you who hoped that underneath we all felt the same
that was until the day before the day

Let's pretend that we'll be here tomorrow
And I'll try for you to be a little more on time
I know you need to say you know you've let me down
But you haven't and it's hard to talk with people all around

Please don't say how proud you are
Let's do the things we normally do
I'll say see you later
You'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to

Let's forget that we're here and make some plans
We'll go for walks
Sit on the bench we always sat
I'll tell you every little detail of my day and so will you
Don't try to stay awake
I'm feeling tired too

This is just another day
Let's do the things we normally do

I'll say see you later you'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune

Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to

Armored cars and tanks and guns came to take away our sons
And everybody's stood behind
The man behind the wire
There's a fight to love
A fight to have
Your bed's a battlefield and back
And all of this will just be stripped away

Let's do the things we normally do
I'll say see you later you'll sing a line or two
From your rebel songs sung out of tune
Don't hold my hand for longer than you need to

Don't look me in the eye more than you need to

Don't try to say goodbye if I don't want to
Don't say how proud you are
And say I'm far away
And take along your
And say a word
And I can say fade away

I found no peace
In the lies that I've told,
I'm only hurt by the blows that get withheld
The sharper I get cut
The harder I get held
More that I believe
That you will come to me

Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for
Whao-ao
Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for

I found no peace
In the lies that I've told,
I'm only hurt by the blows that get withheld
The sharper I get cut
The harder I get held
More that I believe
That you will come to me

Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for
Whao-ao
Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for

'out you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for

Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for
Whao-ao
Without you I've been burnin' love
Whao-ao
You're the one that I've been calling for

"I have returned to the northern skies"

I have returned to the northern skies,
Where the summer had not touched
The clouds that pass above.
Oh, and I have returned to the somber grace
Of the days too early to come and too early to stay.

And I have left a million stars,
And an ocean so lightly, so clearly blue.
And I have left the warmth of the sun
And a million adventures not yet begun.
The great sense of passing through,
The great sense of passing through,
The great sense of passing through.
Oh, for once there was beauty here for me
Under these white, northern skies.
I felt the green was blacker
And the blue was darker still.
My roots are lying deeper than I ever think they will again.
Heartache and poverty under these northern skies.
The great sense of passing through,
The great sense of passing through,
The great sense of passing through

If I had the chance for just one day with you
One day release from here and all that you go through
Well I'd get you dressed and I'd get you out
And I know you'd be fine as soon as we broke out

So please just for one day I wouldn't talk for you
You'd tell me what to say, you'd show me what to do
And please just for one day I'd see you walk again
And we'd go hand in hand so far we can't go back

I'd do anything I could do for this one more day with you
Away from all these wires and tubes they've stuck on you
And I would buy you an early beer, we'd watch the game
And we'd talk of all friends and of work and heartbreak
You'd ask me who you'd need to kill to make it ok again
But laughing about it'd make it small anyway

So please just for one day I wouldn't guess for you
You'd tell me what you felt and what you want to do
And please just for one day I wouldn't hide from you
You wouldn't see me try keep all of you from you

So please just for one day I wouldn't talk for you
You'd tell me what to say, you'd show me what to do
And please just for one day I'd see you walk again
And we'd go hand in hand so far we can't go back

I won't cry for you, cos I will wait until
I have this day with you

We can make it rain again I feel like I belong
let's make it cold again I'm not ready and it's wrong
we can put the outdoor chairs back in and lock the door
go back to walking all heads down and put our coats back on
the summer's come too soon
now I'm still missing you

We can stay at home and draw the blinds and light a fire
and pull the covers high and go to sleep early for hours
don't wanna be too hot and there's no way to cool down
don't wanna sit outside all night or even leave the house
the summer's come too soon
and I'm still missing you

Don't wanna sit and drink in parks and watch the sun go down
don't wanna put my feet in water, lie back in the grass
I don't wanna watch the planes go by, hold anybody's hand
the summer's come too soon
and I can't come back to you
The summer's come to soon
now I'm still missing you

If the sun would go down, stop reminding me how
if we ever had the choice I don't mind now
If the sun would go down, stop reminding me how
if we ever had the choice I don't mind now
I don't mind now
