In a sense
I have figured out
how to hold on
As in one way or another
I have been trying to hard
It's the size of it all
I think about everything all the time
I thought a clinical psychologist
would sort me right out
But what hurts the most
are the seasons...
I am always late
late to work, late to rise, late to bloom
as nothing is as important to me
as the stuff I think of when I'm about to leave
my epiphanies, their timing leaves much to be desired
I should really write them down
I feel like I am doomed to repeat it all
But what hurts the most
are the seasons
I am not an empty cup
I remember.

Little Green Fly
Why won't you talk to me tonight
tell me everything that's going on
I've been watching it for weeks
how when you're tired you never speak
Wish you'd let me know if you're feeling alone
...but I've not been around enough lately
to give you a chance to speak
I'm not beating round the bush, maybe
It's a little thing but look how it's grown...
I know why...
I'm scared
to prove that I'm here for it all
You're scared
to prove that you really care
But I know, I already know
Little Green Fly
open the window please just try
to let me help you
I've been doing what I can
Can't catch you in my hand
to let you out to somewhere new
...and there's more to why
than I know
It's a little thing but look how it's grown...
I know why...
I'm scared
to prove that I'm here for it all
You're scared
to prove that you really care
But I know, I already know

Don't go to work today
call in sick, stay here and wait
Get back in to bed
close your eyes, close your head, cool your jets
We can watch season 2, the whole
way through...
Don't go to work today
You can have the good half of the mattress, ok?
We can watch trees from the window
make tea from the pot
in a womb for our twenties
where we'll
just wait...
We only signed up in the first place
to try and make some cash
now we're standing out here freezing
wondering how we'll ever leave
what is left after all of this
How much time will we spend on this...
Don't go work today
we can tell time by the sound of kids at the gate
we just need some more time
to get our heads straight
so please...
just stay
We only signed up in the first place
to try and make some cash
now we're standing out here freezing
wondering how we'll ever leave
what is left after all of this
How much time will we spend on this...
