Scene shot in slow motion
A circle of eyes
The weight of attention
When the ribbons are tied
Peel back the paper
You're trapped in their moment
Anticipating the
Birthday Girl
Birthday Girl
Birthday
We light the candle to watch it go out
Where does the magic go?
A glow on the surface
What's growing inside
The attraction of newness
The promise of life
Take what you're given
Forget what you wanted
Holding a mirror
To all of their choices
Birthday Girl
Birthday Girl
Birthday
We light the candle to watch it go out
Where does the magic go?
After the party they all go home
Your back to the door feel the silence grow
Nobody tells you how you will cope
After the magic goes
Where does the magic go
For the birthday girl

Take My Time

Too old, too young
Too much, not enough
Too tight, too loose
Too tough, lighten up
It ain't easy inside my mind
It ain't easy to be left behind
Take my time, take my time
I'm looking out eyes open wide
Take my time, take my time
Give me freedom for the words that I would never say
Hiding in my head won't help me anyway
Take my time, take my time
Too late to leave
To linger tonight
Minutes then hours
Then days pass me by
It ain't easy to be lost and found
It ain't easy it'll come around
Take my time, take my time
I'm looking out eyes open wide
Take my time, take my time
Give me freedom for the words that I would never say
Hiding in my head won't help me anyway
Take my time, take my time
Let's be odd, time's not even
Moving fast can numb the feeling
Leave the rules quit the reasons
Become someone to believe in
Take my time, take my time
I'm looking out eyes open wide
Take my time, take my time
Give me freedom for the words that I would never say
Hiding in my head won't help me anyway
Take my time, take my time

Soft Focus

Caught out in the rain
I haven’t slept in days
Staring into space
As I miss another train
I feel like I’ve become
A hollow empty song
A beat without a drum
That’s going on and on
I’m tired of living for the game
I’ll wait forever if I stay
Trapped in broken yesterdays
In the end we will be who we’ve chosen
Take the lens move the light to soft focus
Across the empty track
You take a photograph
As I hear the shutter snap
I’m done with looking back
As I sit and wait
The edges change their shape
Though the clouds remain
I’m making a new frame
I’m tired of living for the game
I’ll wait forever if I stay
Trapped in broken yesterdays
In the end we will be who we’ve chosen
Take the lens move the light to soft focus
Soft focus
Blur the edges of it
Soft focus
Put yourself inside it
Soft focus
Cut the colours of yourself
I’m tired of living for the game
I’ll wait forever if I stay
Trapped in broken yesterdays
In the end we will be who we’ve chosen
Take the lens move the light to soft focus

Wilderness

For all of the years
That I’ve lived inside this house
The curtains the halls
The pictures on walls
No more surprises now
Memories and dreams I’ve gathered
Are sitting on a shelf
Then I found a room that I didn’t know about
You opened the door
And you pulled me in
If I am a garden
Then loving you is a wilderness
I can’t sleep sometimes
Wondering how you’ll turn out
Mistakes I will make
Plans I will break
My fear of falling down
If time is medicine then baby
You’re forever and you’re now
You’re like a room that I didn’t know about
You opened the door
And you pulled me in
If I am a garden
Then loving you is a wilderness
A wilder wilder wilderness
A wilder wilder wilderness
A wilder wilder wilderness
When I thought there was nothing left
You opened the door
And you pulled me in
If I am a garden
Then loving you is a wilderness
Something from nothing
Magic within
If I am a garden
Then loving you is a wilderness
