Waiting

so i guess i’m waiting here, waiting until you appear
but until then i’m focussing on everyone
the guy that’s on his phone, the girl who stops to check her hair
the little kid that stops to ask his mother why i’m standing there
a petty little argument where fists were nearly thrown
a busker plays a song that sparks a memory as it starts to snow
so many people walking past this corner of the street
i wonder where they’re going and then I wonder why they drag their feet
time won’t wait for someone waiting but i’ll wait for you
My heart will beat in time with feet that tap and trace the line
I'm counting out the hours until you return

The Gold Medal Kid

We’re taking off, but lets wait for one o’clock
for cannon-fire and good old John Gray’s dog
we’ll link arms through streets, tiptoe and creep
searching for peace and quiet and open air
under streetlights pause, to catch our breath and run
because tripping over cobblestones is fun
a city grown from boulders and stones
a room of tragedy, sonnets and circuitry
we’ve taken our hearts far off the grid
the storm is close but i am the gold medal kid
under streetlights pause, to catch our breath and run
because tripping over cobblestones is fun
i found the road. i found the road. i found the road. so take me home
and the crime scene won’t dictate our journey at all
our hope winds round everything we love
so let’s throw our caution to those winds that howl at the moon
is it strange that it’s the only way we knew (how to hide the blue)
i found the road. i found the road. i found the road. so take me home

Many Rows of Teeth

move in circles i won't
cos all the oceans are my home
move in circles, i won't
in all this water i'm alone
but it’s hard to justify the aftermath of existential thoughts when there’s a bloodbath
when currents take me far from where I really want to be. when ‘Orca’ chases me across the sea
that taste is salt and rust and fear
for every landmark that sets me dreaming
trace the shoreline searching for magnetic fields
and for electric pulses and for a meal
trace the shoreline searching for magnetic fields
i’ll crawl the ocean so i feel so so small
keep your distance or i’ll show you
how my smile hides many rows of teeth
