If I could draw then I would paint too
and the sky would be this colour
If I could float then I would fly too
and the whole world would be there to discover
If all that’s in me is all I need to be
I’m in touch with my body
And so you should be
It’s all we need
I’ve got bones to keep me strong
I’ve got veins taking my blood to warm every corner
I’ve got organs playing the unwavering rhythm of my dedication
To life and love
I’ve got muscles to hold you up
When all you need is an encouraging hug
To go on, to go on
If I could draw then I would paint too
and the sky would be this colour
If I could float then I would fly too
and the whole world would be there to discover
If all that’s in me is all I need to be
I’m in touch with my body
And so you should be
It’s all we need
I’ve got bones to keep me strong
I’ve got veins taking my blood to warm every corner
I’ve got organs playing the unwavering rhythm of my dedication
To life and love
I’ve got muscles to hold you up
When all you need is an encouraging hug
To go on, to go on
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh-oh-oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh-oh-oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh-oh-oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh-oh-oh
I’ve got bones to keep me strong
I’ve got veins taking my blood to warm every corner
I’ve got organs playing the unwavering rhythm of my dedication
To life and love
I’ve got muscles to hold you up
When all you need is an encouraging hug
To go on, to go on
To go on, to go on

All My Ex Lovers
I hope you have a nice life
Please forgive me for seeming callous and overdramatic
But I think I’d find it hard to manage to see you again
Even in time, after all the hurt and the damage
To our relationship
Our relationship
I know there’s those who still believe
Cut all ties and you’ll be rid of this ridiculous overthinking
Familiarity of living in the belly of the beast, the bow of a sinking ship
There we are wallowing, between the cracks in our relationship
Our relationship
Our relationship
Our relationship, oh
The way we let ourselves exist
Being unkind on a daily basis
However enigmatic I’m fighting the magnetism between our lips
It’s ending
Our relationship is ending
All my ex lovers live in a pot on the bathroom cupboard
All that I know is that we were taught to keep our teeth clean

This Is The Only Way For Me To Speak
To mornings bathed in your shape
To everlasting Sundays
I wave my hand, say goodbye
A farewell to your face
And I slip out of your view
This is the only way for me to speak
This is the only route for you to hear me
This is the only way for me to speak
This is the only route for you to hear me
Call out to you
Call out to you
I could lay myself down
Across your path to be found
You would only walk round
Or over my body
I could place my creased heart
In paper sheets for you to receive
This is the only way for me to speak
This is the only route for you to hear me
This is the only way for me to speak
This is the only route for you to hear me
Call out to you
Call out to you
If I soldier on, will you come through for me?
Will my battle cry, be dutifully received?
What we had was beautiful but it went wrong, I’m hanging by a thread
But I still believe in love and our love’s not dead
This is the only way for me to speak
This is the only route for you to hear me
This is the only way for me to speak
This is the only route for you to hear me
Call out to you
Call out to you
