Those Shoes

If they're nice shoes
Everyone will want them
And then who are you?
Just another one
With those shoes
But can you call it a problem if you don't want to solve it
Can
You
Call it a problem if you
Don't want to solve it
But I can safely say
No not for me
No not for me
Stick to who you are instead of who you want to be because
It's a whirlwind romance
That blows itself out
Can you hear her on the rocks
Scrapping off the name she loves
Seems like quite a hassle just to prove a point
No?
But can you call it a problem if you don't want to solve it
Can
You
Call it a problem if you
Don't want to solve it
Clothes on the backs of empty chairs
Clothes on the backs of empty chairs
I am unique in the same way you are
I am unique in the same way you are

Enjoy the Fresh Air
03:27

Take the pressure off
To try so hard
To be someone
Oh your caught up in a hurry
Caught up in a hurry
And the future has
Forgotten us
Forgotten us already
We're safe here
In the past
In the past
Mistakes we've made
Worn away
(In the past)
Worn away
Worn away
Don't work
Harder than you have to
Lie in bed
Too long
If you feel stuck in traffic
Then get out
And walk
And take the pressure off
Take the pressure off
Enjoy the fresh air
And spend time with your friends
Singing I don't want to worry
Well don't
Well don't
Singing I don't want to worry
Well don't
Well don't
Enjoy the fresh air
Enjoy the fresh air
Enjoy the fresh air
Enjoy the fresh air

Now What?
02:17
|
|||
|
Don't trust the overly suspicious
They think that everone's as bad as them
Don't trust the overly ambitious
They'll stab you in the back and then they'll stab you again
And all we've got to look forward to
Is an advert at the bottom of a coffee cup
A coffee cup in a coffee shop
And the clouds being rearranged to spell
Something else
Something else
Something else
For them to sell
Us
(now what)
I'll bet that someone wished
For no ones wish
To ever come true
Now people just disagree
Just disagree as a party piece
no I think you're wrong
No I don't think they do
They do
And I think things I've thought to make me think I'm thinking
But I'm not
And I think things I've thought to make me think I'm thinking
But I'm not
And I think things I've thought to make me think I'm thinking
But I'm not
Now what?
Now what?
Acting like no one ever
Meant to make a mistake
Now what?
Now what?

Everyone's Gone
02:49
|
|||
|
Hold on
Hold on to the important ones
Hold on
To the important ones
Hold on to the important ones
We've been through it all
Together
Together
We've been through it all
Together
Together
And I can't believe
After everything
After everything
Everyone's gone
Everyone's gone

What was the Question?
03:32
|
|||
|
I haven't read the book
But I've heard a lot about it
I've heard
I haven't seen the news
But I've heard a lot about that
About that
I can't go on
I can't go on
And there's no way back
I can't go on
I can't go on
And there's no way back
What was the question?
What was the question?
What was the question?
Not much left
To believe in
Now
I'm spiritually tightening
My belt
My belt
In a perpetual rethink
Of my life
And when you get something that you want
You want something else
You want something else
I can't go on
I can't go on
And there's no way back
I can't go on
I can't go on
And there's no way back
I can't go on
I can't go on
And there's no way back
I can't go on
I can't go on
And there's no way back

Je ne peux pas parler français
Non je ne peux pas parler français
Mon visage était le masque
Tout le long
Tout le long
Je ne sais pas
Ce que vous voulez de moi
Quelle idée ingénieuse
Demander encore et encore et encore
Es-tu sûr?
Oui je suis sûr
Où est la porte?
Passer la porte
Je ne peux pas parler français
Et je suis désolé
Désolé, j'aimerais pouvoir
Mais je ne peux pas
Allume le charme
Comme un robinet
Quelle idée ingénieuse
Ingénieuse
J'aime me compliquer la vie
La vie
Mon visage était le masque
Tout le long
Tout le long
Mon visage était le masque
Tout le long
Tout le long
Mon visage était le masque
Tout le long
Tout le long
Et si tu le crois alors tu le crois
Et c'est ça
Je ne peux pas parler le français
Je ne peux pas parler le français
Je ne peux pas parler le français
------------------------------(TRANSLATION)------------------------------
I can’t speak French
No I can't speak French
My face was the mask
All along
All along
I don’t know
what you want from me
What an ingenious idea
Ask again and again and again
Are you sure?
Yes I am sure
Where is the door?
Go through the door
I can’t speak French
And I'm sorry
Sorry I wish I could
But I can't
Turn on the charm
Like a tap
What an ingenious idea
Ingenious
I like to complicate my life
Life
My face was the mask
All along
All along
My face was the mask
All along
All along
My face was the mask
All along
All along
And if you believe it then you believe it
And that's it
I can't speak French
I can't speak French
I can't speak French

Almost
02:22
|

|
Almost whole
It was almost real
And I'm almost sure
This is how it should feel
And I was nearly right
That you were almost wrong
Almost everything
Is almost gone
Almost real again
Rarely sometimes
I'm sometimes someone
I've almost changed
I've almost changed
Nearly for the better
It almost works
You're nearly there
You're almost vintage
I almost care
Almost easy
Hardly ever
It's almost funny
Almost never

The Long Term
03:24
|

|
Pin it all on the long term
When there might not be one left to pin on
And I have plans but life has different ones
they say everyone's gonna go
they say everybody's gonna go but where are they gonna go?
they say everybody's gonna go but where are they gonna go?
I don't think it's anybody's fault
apart from theirs
Pin it all on the long term
When there might not be one left to pin on
Living for the future when there might not be a future
Left to live in
Living for the future but there might not be a future
Left
I think we should all start making a back up plan now
they say everybody's gonna go but where are they gonna go?
they say everybody's gonna go but where are they gonna go?

It's as if it never snowed
And you could never tell
You asked a strange man
He said he didn't know
You ask yourself
Was that the last time?
Wait a life time
To find out if it was
I won't dream tonight
I won't dream tonight
I'm sure
Look up at the moon
The moon looks sad
And lonely
Gaze up at your shoes
And see they've untied themselves one more
Why try to finish what you don't enjoy
And kid yourself that your half way through
Why try and finish
Even when you're half way through
I won't dream tonight
I won't dream tonight
I won't dream tonight
I'm sure
Throw a pebble in a puddle
I think we made a difference
Throw a brick through a window
Because you like the sound
Of shattering glass
Shattering glass
Well someone did it to me
Someone did it to me
Someone did it to me
Did it to me
(did it to me)
It's as if it never snowed
And you could never tell
You asked a strange man
He said he didn't know
You ask yourself
Was that the last time?
Wait a life time
To find out if it was
