Philip Selway Album

(1, 2, 3, 4)

As I gave in to temptation
I've straighten across the line
Keep it under wraps in the cold store
Put it to the back of your mind
Put it to the back of your mind

But by some miracle
I've just got away with it
I've clawed it back again
By some miracle
I've just got away with it
I've clawed it back
I'm crawling back again

As a black dog down in the basement
Is barking out my name
Snapping at my heels when I falter
Kick it but it won't go away
Kick it but it won't go away

But by some miracle
I've just got away with it
I've clawed it back again
But by some miracle
I've just got away with it
I've clawed it back
I'm crawling back again

(Put it back, put it back, put it where you found it)

So where does it end
Heartbeats fast, your senses reeling
You just want to fight
Calm yourself, you're being unreasoned

Go, find a place
To let it all out
Count from 1-10
Start over again

You're out of your mind
Fuses blown, you're not receiving
Deny it again, damn your pride
You're being unreasoned

Go, find a place
To let it all out
Count from 1-10
Start over again

For several times
I'm tired and it tries my patience
For several times
I'm tired and it tries my patience
For several times
I'm tired and it tries my patience
For several times
I'm tired and it tries my patience
Tries my patience

Above the traffic noise and fights
Can you hear me?
I'm standing right next to you
As the crowds pour out on a cold, cold night
There's a place we can go
There's we both can hide
And we'll stay quite still
We won't make a sound
We'll turn out the lights
We'll turn out the lights
Then we'll leave and disappear into the night
We'll turn out the lights
We just want a simple life
We'll turn out the lights
Please turn out the lights

On down the road, we walk alone
Can you see me?
I'm scared that I'm losing you
As the crowds press on through the cold cold night
There's a place we can go
There's a place where we both can hide
And we'll stay quite still
We won't make a sound
We'll turn out the lights
We'll turn out the lights
Then we'll leave and disappear into the night
We'll turn out the lights
We just want a simple life
We'll turn out the lights
Please turn out the lights

All the vows we made, I'd make them all again
I gave my promise and the life we had is sacred
I wouldn't lie to you, I could not lie to you
Turn it up, we'll make some noise behind
So turn out the lights
Please turn out the lights

And you're invited too
A chance of a lifetime into view
Slow down and breathe
Slow down, you're terrified to speak
All eyes on you

And you're embarrassed too
Afraid of the light that shines on you
So frail and small
So scared, you're terrified
By all the eyes on you

All eyes on you

Wait a minute, it's all gone south,
Words don't matter I'm all talked out.
I wanna show you another way,
I wanna shield you from my mistakes.

They're the ties that bind us,
It's a kind of blindness.
Who needs eyes to see
The family madness running through me.

You my son I held in my arms
Close and keeping you safe from harm.
I wanna show you another way,
I wanna keep you from my mistakes.

So take me back to a time before
I lost my nerve and the trail went cold
I wanna know there's another way
I wanna shield you from my mistakes.

[No lyrics]

When all is said and done
When all is said and done
It's just a trick of light
That you saw

When all is said and done
When all is said and done
It's only make-believe
Nothing more

Falling, falling
Down, down, down, down
Falling, falling
What is that all about

Visions come in the dark
Visions come in the dark
It isn't sick inside
Nothing's wrong

Visions come in the dark
Visions come in the dark
Just look the other way
Now it's gone

Falling, falling
Down, down, down, down
Falling, falling
What is that all about

In time I'll return once more
To find the house where I was born

And then you took a photograph
Of me and my sisters back then
To celebrate the lives that you made
You held us and hoped that you'd find
Peace for the very first time

One day I'll begin again
And you start a chance to make amends
For all the broken promises
And dreams that are never fulfilled
I celebrate the lives you made
Look on my face and you'll find
Peace for the very first time

Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Only the love will remain

Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Only the love will remain

The broken promises
And dreams that are never fulfilled
Let's celebrate the lives you made
Go to a place where you'll find
Peace for the very first time

And as we drift from side to side
We know there's nowhere left to hide

Don't let go
I'll catch us when we fall
What we see in the cold light
Can scare us all
All our fears will lessen in time

Don't look down, it's fine
It's one of those days
Don't run and hide
Don't look down, it's fine
Don't run and hide

Weren't you the one who'd always say
Harsh words won't make this go away
So I lose the voice inside my head
Some things are better left unsaid

Don't let go
I'll catch us when we fall
What we see in the cold light
Can scare us all
All our fears will lessen in time

Don't look down, it's fine
It's one of those days
Don't run and hide
Don't look down, it's fine
Don't run and hide

I wake up with a start
And watch you sleep
Waiting for the doubts that comfort me

Don't look down, it's fine
It's one of those days
Don't run and hide
Don't look down, it's fine
Don't run and hide

Take me, take me
Out into the night
Show me, show me
Wonders and delights
Faces round a fire
Lights across the sky
The witching hour
They're calling me now
I know who you are

Hold me, hold me
I am like a child
Waiting, waiting
Motionless and wired
For the night to pass
Whispers in the dark
The witching hour
They're calling me now
I know who you are
Who you are

And those I love
Will carry me home
Will carry me home

And those I love
Will carry me home
Will carry me home

And those I love
Will carry me home
Will carry me home
