New Normal


Homebound

Verse 1
Used to think that I was simple
Now I’m not sure
Used to think I had it all figured out

But I wanted more
Till the day I saw that there’s so much that I hadn’t seen
Found it I think, the city I’m in
The places I’ve been


Verse 2
Find it hard to listen
Singing from a distance so far away
The smell of your skin, I’m breathing it in


I want you to stay
Watching every moment
'Til they all slowly turn to memory
Found it I think, the city I’m in
Home


Chorus
Trying not to think about
Wondering what I’d do without
This, wandering free
Wish I could be
Somewhere out there searching

All the roads are merging
Miss, the touch of the sea
Wish I could be
Homebound


Verse 1
Used to think that I was simple
Now I’m not sure

Over It

Verse 1
Happy songs are hard to write
When no one else is on your side and you
Get over it
I'm running out of words to say
When I’ve just had a crappy day and you
Get over it

Pre-chorus
And I, I feel it too
So go and turn the music up too loud
‘Cos that’s what songs are all about

Chorus
Ooh I don’t want to get over you
Ooh I don’t want to get over you
Get over you

Verse 2
And I won’t change the way I feel
Who are you to say what’s real
I won’t
Get over it
You’ve said all that you want and more
I’ve had enough, walk out that door I won’t
Get over it

Pre-chorus
And I, I feel it too
So go and turn the music up too loud
‘Cos that’s what songs are all about

Chorus
Ooh I don’t want to get over you
Ooh I don’t want to get over you
Get over you

Bridge
They say you’re incorrigible
I say it’s unmistakable
I want to start all over anew
So many words so mendable
It’s not that I’m infallible
I want to be unbreakable too

Chorus
Ooh I don’t want to get over you
Ooh I don’t want to get over you
Get over you

You

Verse 1
There’s something about tonight
A whisper that’s going around
The people all linger to see the sights
And you don’t know if you want to be found

Chorus
Should have known it was too good to be true
You
The things you do to me
Empty words put down on secret paper
You
You thought they could move me

Verse 2
There's something about tonight
I'm trying to hear a sound
The crowd's closing in and there is nowhere to hide
And you don't know
If you want to be found

Chorus
Should have known it was too good to be true
You
The things you do to me
Empty words put down on secret paper
You
You thought they could move me
Should have known it was too good to be true
You
You thought they could move

Come On

Verse 1
I don’t know where to start
I know I’m lost I’m torn apart
I’m sitting there alone
I feel the beating of my heart
I know it’s over now
There’s nothing else that I can do
But all I’m doing now
Is think of moving on
Without you

Chorus
Come on come on come on
I’m lonely
Come on come on come on
Don’t leave me

Verse 2
I’m in a quiet place
Where all I hear are whispered words
So scared of reaching out
Tiptoeing gently round the hurt
Thought I had braced myself
Against the pain that was to come
But all I’m doing now
Is think of moving on
Without you

Chorus
Come on come on come on
Don't leave me
Come on come on come on
I'm lonely

Bridge
And now I’m left without you
No need for words to say
You know I desperately miss you
Thank you, thank you

Chorus
Come on come on come on
I'm lonely
Come on come on come back
Don’t leave me
Come on come on come on
I'm lonely
Come on come on come on
Don’t leave me


Left Behind

Verse 1
See the sun set in the distance
All the dying yellow light that surrounds
Still I know that soon the day will be over
And there’s nothing here that’s already found

Verse 2
Now the emptiness is closing around me
Put your hand upon my hand keep me warm
But you’re standing there not crossing the waters
That’s why I’m feeling torn

Chorus
Don’t you know that I sit here alone and I’m
Waiting with you on my mind
I’m searching not finding a home of my own
Just think I’m left behind

Verse 3
I used to think I stood on the outside
Always never really quite fitting in
Wasn’t much that I could undo about it
Until you reached out and let me in

Verse 4
It’s nice to know no man is an island
We all have to find our best crew at sea
So when lightning strikes and hurricanes blow us
There is still you and me

Chorus
Don’t you know that I sit here alone and I’m
Waiting with you on my mind
I’m searching not finding a home of my own
Just think I’m left behind
Left behind

Bridge
Oh I feel like there’s no one to talk to
All this angst that I’m keeping inside
Always remains a thin coating of anger
That I don’t know how to hide

Chorus
Don’t you know that I sit here alone and I’m
Waiting for you on my mind
I’m searching not finding a home of my own
Just think I’m left behind
Left behind
