Against the Grain

Can’t Help Thinking This Way

You can’t see through me
But I can’t help thinking that someday you just might
You got belief in me
But I can’t help thinking that someday it will die

So I try my hardest, couldn’t try anymore
I try, try, try to find a cure
But believe me when I say

I can’t help thinking this way

You say my heart’s gold
But I can’t help thinking that someday you’ll see it’s gilt
You say you love me
But I can’t help thinking that someday your love will wilt

So I try my hardest, couldn’t try anymore
I try, try, try to find a cure
But believe me when I say

I can’t help thinking this way

I may need, I may need, I may need something
But I just can’t, just can’t take your loving x2

So I try my hardest, couldn’t try anymore
I try, try, try to find a cure
But believe me when I say
I can’t help thinking this way

You think I’m the one
But I can’t help thinking that someday you’ll find who is
You think I’ll never run
But I can’t help thinking that someday I won’t be missed

I try my hardest, couldn’t try any more
I try, try, try to find a cure
But believe me when I say
I can’t help thinking this way

See It Coming

I saw him in the alley on a dark, cold night
Lying in the gutter, face hidden from sight
I picked him up, dust him off, looked into his eyes
No longer hidden by a shadow disguise

He began to speak and I found it hard to breathe
Whiskey and fags clung to his huskey wheeze

And the words he spoke should’ve meant nothing to me
But somehow they reached to my heart and made me believe
The words he told me, he said I couldn’t repeat
But I must make everybody see

Everyone must see, everyone must see, everyone must see
See it coming x2

He pointed to the stars and told me to stare
Open my heart and I’ll find something there

And as I looked up I felt him move away
After a while I broke free from the gaze

The hairs on my neck then began to rise
And tears welled in my misty eyes

The words he told me then began to repeat
I must make everybody see

Everyone must see, everyone must see, everyone must see

See it coming x2

He had gone from sight so I went to a bar
Spoke to the people of the man and the stars
With looks of disbelief at what I had to say
They turned a blind eye and told me to stray

I went to get a drink and reached in my coat
My pockets were empty except for a note

The words he told me were all that were on it
I must make everybody see

Everyone must see, everyone must see, everyone must see
See it coming x2

See it, See it x2

Throw It All Away

So many ways to die
Modern life is a lie

Your freedom does not exist
And you’re out of control

So go on throw it all away, it all means nothing in the end anyway
Day by day things stay the same, it’s time to step from the shadows of change

You are ruled by your company
It’s the hours outside you live for
They make you tell yourself it’s worthwhile
On and on you play this game with yourself

So go on throw it all away, it all means nothing in the end anyway
Day by day things stay the same, it’s time to step from the shadows of change

Choose a path you want to take
One where your happiness isn’t fake
It all seems so far away now
But there’s still only one way to get there

So go on throw it all away, it all means nothing in the end anyway

Day by day things stay the same, it’s time to step from the shadows

Unwound

When you feel like it’s all on you
And no one wants you to succeed
Just be still and I’ll be still too
‘Cos this’ll be just what you need

When you need, need a hand to hold

You know I’ll be there by your side
And I’ll be still and I’ll still your soul
And from no one we’ll ever hide

Now you’re still as if my words were a pill
And we lay in silence on the ground
And in this place, we stare into space
And I realise, you’ve become unwound

When you take, take the hurt inside

Your heart finds it hard to breathe
Just be still and let the hurt slide
And your smile will never leave

‘Cos when you’re still, you can reflect
And understand things aren’t so bad
Yeah when you’re still, you can expect
To find the smile you once had

And now you’re still as if my words were a pill

And we lay in silence on the ground
And in this place, we stare into space
And I realise, you’ve become unwound
