What Am I Doing Here?

[V1]
I'm invisible tonight
Even when I'm in front of you
I don't know what I’m doing here
What am I doing here?
You will listen to my words
But everything I say isn't heard
I don't know what I’m doing here
What am I doing here?
[CH]
Come on open the door
I should not be afraid
Anymore
Anymore
Just a'movin' along
Shuffling with the crowd
Is enough for
Enough for you
[V2]
Somewhere out there in the fray
There's a story to be made
I don't know what I’m doing here
What am I doing here?
Some things fresh in memory
Hold me back from being free
I don't know what I’m doing here
What am I doing here?
[V3]
Nobody wants to be alone
Not when there's somewhere else to be
So I don't know what I’m doing here
What am I doing here?
Maybe I'll go back to the place
The place that I left for you
‘cause I don't know what I’m doing here
What am I doing here?
[OUTRO]
What am I doing here
What am I doing
What am I doing here
What am I doing

[V1]
It’s not true if it’s unflattering
You oughta lay low if you wanna keep your head
And something has gotta keep you occupied
Before you manage to open your eyes
[CHORUS]
You can be forgiven if something makes you nervous
‘Cause everything I said is not true
Barely lift a finger for your attention
Everything I said is not true
[V2]
There ain’t no foolin’ you but can you keep up the pace?
There ain’t no time to waste ‘cause if you blink you lose the race
And something has gotta keep you occupied
Before you manage to open your eyes
[CHORUS]
You can be forgiven if something makes you nervous
‘Cause everything I said is not true
Barely lift a finger for your attention
Everything I said is not true

It's coming up fast the time that you fly
I hope that you'll be alright
I wish I could come with you
You know I would if I could
We got some work here to do
And so little time left to use
One of us must do the climb
It's only a matter of time
When you're coming in hot
And there ain't no way to slow down
We should do this thing together
When everything is failing
And all you can see is red now
We should do this thing together
So I was wrong I'll say that
If it means that we won't go back;
Back to squabbles and jibes
Back when we wouldn't get by
They wouldn't stop the launch today
Even though they know the price you'll pay
Everybody hates goodbyes
Please come back alive

Cool Change
03:59
|
|||
|
[V1]
Midday sun burnin’ the breeze
I never thought it'd be this hard to breathe
There is tension in the hot air
Couldn't cut it with a solar flare
[V2]
We really thought we got it right this time
Everyone gets it wrong once in a while
Our quandaries are circumstantial
Let's bear the heat till the evening cool
[PRECHORUS]
We lay in silence
Waiting for something new
[CHORUS]
We were trying to get cooler
Throwing shade all over
Still every moment is getting warmer
And our voices are drier
When the mercury's higher
Here comes - here comes a cool change
[V3]
For a while there we took it places
But time beat us; we fell to our knees
I nearly fell through the ceiling so high
But I was caught by the chandelier light
[PRECHORUS]
We lay in silence
Waiting for something new
[CHORUS]
We were trying to get cooler
Throwing shade all over
Still every moment is getting warmer
And our voices are drier
When the mercury's higher
Here comes - here comes a cool change

Twice Shy
04:09
|
|||
|
[V1]
Here it begins throwing caution to the wind
On the backfoot with bated breath behind we look
Forever in flux while our verdicts hide in the dust
Our nerves can’t escape still waters running deep
[CHORUS]
Here we are now out of the water
Getting back to where we were
They all made us into fools
We’ll be wary this time
Once bitten twice shy
[V2]
Separated in our unison
Could it be that we repeat it all again
Fear of the fallout frightens every fibre of doubt
Our nerves can’t escape still waters running deep
[CHORUS]
Here we are now out of the water
Getting back to where we were
They all made us into fools
We’ll be wary this time
Once bitten twice shy

Let Me Go
02:45
|
|||
|
We've been so safe sitting on common ground
Away from the water; afraid that we might drown
It's not that we didn't try
Just we never saw eye to eye
So if you love me so
Please let me go
Never thought I'd give up anything I loved so bad
But what I need now is something that we'll never have
It's not that we didn't try
Just we never saw eye to eye
So if you love me so
Please let me go
