Stand Up

Stand up, stand up
You’re a fighter, you’re a player,
You’re still in this game
And no one can do it better
Though i wish i had seen you
Working when you were in your prime
Move on move forward
See the flags and see them fly
See the saints and see them watching
No contempt within their eyes, yea
Maybe I could be one
Maybe I am strong enough
‘Cos we’re here
Standing on our own two feet
Standing on our own two feet
Standing
Stand up, stand up
There’s a reason you’re not famous
And it's in the air
‘Cos the work was never there
But it’s all that you dreamed of
In weekends and late in the night
Move on, move forward
Make some sense of your demise
Not a leader or a prophet but had enough to hypnotize them
If only that you knew that nothing good is ever free
‘Cos we’re here
Standing on our own two feet
Standing on our own two feet
Standing
Never say goodbye, it will only end in fire (repeat)

Obtuse

Call me a little obtuse, waiting for likable news,
waiting but not wanting our time to come around again
If every little moment I’m gone, the wearing and tearing calm down,
Take a little moment, be mindful of everything
‘Cos we’re burning both ends of the line, sitting inside slowly dying
And tasting your lips is just all I want, all I want, all I want, all I want
It’s never too late to come clean, and I’m open to love in between
and touching your skin is just all I want, all I want, all I want, all I want
Entry level searching for gold, the rhythm of it enters my soul
Sitting as the turning of trees brings clarity
The lovers and the lights of the dusk, where the hopeful and the cynical touch
The world is a circle where squares don’t sing the tune
‘Cos we’re burning both ends of the line, sitting inside slowly dying
And tasting your lips is just all I want, all I want, all I want, all I want
It’s never too late to come clean, and I’m open to love in between
and touching your skin is just all I want, all I want, all I want, all I want
Call me a little obtuse, waiting for likable news,
waiting but not wanting our time to come around again

Miles

She sits inside and waits for night, I hold my breath
To cut her off or cut her out makes no sense
But it's clear enough to see she’s got a more important place to be
She views the world through maple eyes and velvet tights
Her mind it swings from paradigms to paradise
But it’s clear enough to see she’s got a more important place to be
We drive for miles (x2)
To make it better
We drive away the night it swirls the wind it stirs
And in my head I feel the weight of every word
But it's clear enough to see she’s got a more important place to be
We drive for miles (x2)
To make it better
I dance alone, amongst the crowd, a lonely soul with a purpose found
And if you come and dance here too, I’ll lift you up and pull you through
No more metaphors, no dying stars, and all I need from you is a decision to be made and a way to move quickly
Towards the end, where we can stay, but you say no no no no no no
So we drive for miles (x3)
To make it better

After Midnight

She don’t wanna dance with me and there’s nothing to be said or done
She don’t wanna dance with me and she’s probably not the only one
She don’t wanna make no move, and it’s like this every single night
No she don’t wanna dance with me but I’ll stick around under the lights
‘Cos i’m only happy after midnight (x3)
And I think i love her anyway, yea I swear I love her anyway
She don’t wanna dance with me through the summer rains or through the storms
She don’t wanna dance with me though the summer sun will keep us warm
She don’t wanna make no move, and it’s like this every single night
No she don’t wanna dance with me but I promise that I’ll be alright
See i’m only happy after midnight (x3)
And I think i love her anyway, yea I swear I love her anyway
She don’t wanna dance with me and there’s nothing to be said or done
She don’t wanna dance with me but I swear that she’s the only one
