Siren Song

I was low when you found me
I was down when you needed love
Open up and surround me
Pull me out from my life a while
When I'm alone
That's when she shows
And the Siren sings
"O, dry your eyes - tell me how your bruises sting
If it weren't for your heartache you'd have nothing to sing
You owe your whole life to me"
She was there when I'd doubted
She was there when I'd been let down
The only love that has lasted
And one that I'll never be without
She sings, singing my pain
When I need it, she feels like a friend
And the Siren sings
"O, dry your eyes - tell me how your bruises sting
If it weren't for your heartache you'd have nothing to sing
You owe your whole life to me"
A bitter pill that I've chosen
To turn the bad into something pure
To take what should be forgotten
And wring it out 'til it's beautiful
And the Siren sings
"O, dry your eyes - tell me how your bruises sting
If it weren't for your heartache you'd have nothing to sing
You owe your whole life to me"

Good days, bad days
It's all the same, they interchange until it's any day
I've been waiting
Waiting for half a chance to make it good again
Sometimes I find
It's no extraordinary thing to make you turn around
All in the late night you say "This life is killing me"
But it's just your drive
It's what you want that shapes your frame of mind
And I don't want it all
I only want what anybody else would want
When they're staring at the sun
And I don't need you girl
But I still want you now
'Cos love is like a drug when you're staring at the sun
Oh
I still hold a light. A little light it burns for you
Oh
I still hold a light. A little light it burns for you
It seems it's been so long
Since we've seen Summer come and do what Summer should
It could be bright blue skies, but the rain still falls
Only in Carubia - but it's still the place that I call home
And I don't want it all
I only want what anybody else would want
When they're staring at the sun
And I don't need you boy
But I still want you now
'Cos love is like a drug when you're staring at the sun
Oh
I still hold a light. A little light it burns for you
Oh
I still hold a light. A little light it burns for you
No-one knows like you do
No-one knows like you do
And I don't want it all
I only want what anybody else would want
When they're staring at the sun
And I don't need you boy
But I still want you now
'Cos love is like a drug when you're staring at the sun

Funny how as the night goes on
The line between what's right and wrong gets blurred
You don't even know me
I've never opened up
I'm a friend
I'm an ear
That's where it stops and you know it
Yea you know
That you don't want to love me, babe
You don't want to love me, babe
If there's something you need, I can swear it ain't me
No, you don't want to love me, babe
I'm sleepless in Santa Monica
And I don't hear a word from anyone but you
Yea, I'm alone
But I'm holding out
I'm holding on for someone else
'Cos we don't fit and you know it
Yea you know
That you don't want to love me, babe
You don't want to love me, babe
If there's something you need, I can swear it ain't me
No, you don't want to love me, babe
And while I'm tired of waiting - I'm not giving up
On what I know that love can be
It's the sweetest thing
But it's not there in you and me
In the break of morning
I can see you in a different light
You're smiling
I can move on - I've never been this place before
I can't afford to lose you in my life
You should know that
You should know
That you don't want to love me, babe
You don't want to love me, babe
If there's something you need, I can swear it ain't me
No, you don't want to love me, babe
No, you don't want to love me, babe
You don't want to love me, babe
If there's something you need, I can swear it ain't me
No, you don't want to love me, babe
And while I'm tired of waiting - I'm not giving up
On what I know that love can be
It's the sweetest thing
But it's not there in you and me
I'm just someone in-between

Lonely

If you'd don't have a friend to call
Not that I'm saying you wouldn't
You can reach me day or night
And I'll be there in a second
'Cos we used to be inseparable
Now we don't even talk at all
But I bet that if you called me up
We'd pick up where we both left off
When you are lonely, I am lonely too
When you are lonely, I can talk to you
When you are lonely, I am lonely too
When you are lonely, I can talk to you
You know we used to talk of love
Well when it comes, it never goes
And I was having sleepless nights
Thinking I could feel your ghost
You know we never said goodbye
Never even came close
Now we're left with all this loneliness
All this loneliness
When you are lonely, I am lonely too
When you are lonely, I can talk to you
When you are lonely, I am lonely too
When you are lonely, I can talk to you
Sometimes I wonder
If we weren't so young would we talk it out?
Sit face to face and both say what we think
No, that's not your style
No, we've lost a friend
When you are lonely, I am lonely too
When you are lonely, I can talk to you
When you are lonely, I am lonely too
When you are lonely, I can talk to you
When you are lonely, I am lonely too
When you are lonely, I can talk to you
When you are lonely, I am lonely too
When you are lonely, I can talk to you

I Miss You, Friend

Sometimes you can't make it on your own
It don't make you any less a man
All it takes is a good woman to right all your wrongs
And suffer your jokes
Sometimes I'm half glad you're dead
'Cos you're spared from the stupid things I've said
You'd dwell on the good times and I'd change your mind
Now you turn in your grave
So hey,
Are you living a lie?
Are you doing fine?
Tell me brother - let's sort it out
What's on your mind?
Oh, you were gone so fast
And I miss you, friend
Sometimes you've gotta take a step back
And take a look at the things that you forget
Who was covering your back when you needed most?
And would you do it for them?
And sometimes it's alright to say
"I don't think I can make it through the day"
'Cos you've no idea how much that you can be loved
And the hurt you can cause
So hey,
Are you living a lie?
Are you doing fine?
Tell me brother - let's sort it out
What's on your mind?
Oh, you were gone so fast
And I miss you, friend
When all's said and done
And all favours called
You should know:
You will never be alone
