Arrival

Stand on the platform, wait for my arrival
Surrounded by the things that I hold dear
We haven’t got much time
Everyone else who lives here
Is gathered inside
I’m too comfortable to leave here
So what am I doing at this station?
No room for my life left in this bag
Full of my own frustrations
Stand on the platform, this is my arrival
A hundred faces unfamiliar
No risk of recognition, just as I imagined
But this thing that I’ve been carrying
Feels heavier now
So what am I doing at this station?
No room for my life left in this bag
Full of my own frustrations
Aah aah, aah aah
Aah aaaaaaaah
Step back from the track
Head out into the dark find a car
To take you away from all
The things you left beyond the border
Step back from the track
Head out into the dark find a car
To take you away from all
The things you left beyond the border
All the things you left beyond the border
All the things you left beyond the border

Ran Into Myself Today

I ran into myself today
I don’t know how I thought
She was inside me
Or at least she’d recognise me
But she just turned and walked away
So I didn’t say hello
But I know that I should have
I ran into myself again
She seems to have forgotten
All the years we spent together
Like she doesn’t remember
We said we’d be friends forever
So I didn’t say hello
But I know that I should have
I ran into myself and she was
Barefoot on the street
But she looked so happy
I think she’s met somebody else
I think she’s met somebody else
So I didn’t say hello
I didn’t say hello
I didn’t say hello, hello, hello, hello
Hello

Gingerbread House

I never questioned that I didn’t understand
The games we played in private
But I saw them on the TV
I saw them in a movie once
So I guess there’s no need, to worry
I’m older now than I have ever been
They tried to warn me to tread carefully
But I’m the oldest that I’ve ever been
Insecurity meets influentiality
Age is just a number that comes with responsibility
But you should have known better than to build
The perfect house to make a wife
The perfect house to make a life
Out of gingerbread
What if it rains and this gets wet
What if it all comes crashing down
What then?
And what if I stop believing
All the things you said, what then?
I tell my friends all of my stories
And we’d laugh about them like they were funny
It’s not like they knew much more than I did
It’s not like they knew I needed someone to say stop this
Now I wish I spent my weekends making sandwiches
Not having dinner in big houses talking politics
Somehow I seem to be acquiring a new family
When all I want’s to see the one I have already
And I don’t blame you for trying
It’s not like I said anything
I don’t blame you for trying
I thought this was how it’s supposed to be
Thought this was how it’s supposed to be
‘Cos I read it in a magazine
I read it in a magazine
I read it in a magazine
But you should have known better than to build
The perfect house to make a wife
The perfect house to make a life
Out of gingerbread
What if it rains and this gets wet
What if it all comes crashing down
What then?
And what if I stop believing
All the things you said, what then?
Aah Aah
Aah Aah

Too Late Heartbreak
03:39
|

|
I was gonna come over to your house today
Pick up where we left off
Our last conversation
I’ve been resisting the temptation
Instead I lay here with my back against the mattress
Developing a fixation with my ceiling
It helps me avoid how I’m feeling
I know that it’s hard to be
Patient with all that I’m
Putting you through
I don’t want to like you but I do
It’s too late
To not end in heartbreak
Risk all that we knew
I don’t want to like you but I do
Your friends are probably wondering
What I’m doing to your head
Mine keep asking me why I’m not in my bed
I tell them I was working late
And I got up earlier than them
I know they disapprove
But I’m still getting used
To the idea of spending more than just the night
Letting somebody like you near
I’m trying, I’m trying
I’m trying to disregard my fears
I know that it’s hard to be
Patient with all that I’m
Putting you through
I don’t want to like you but I do
It’s too late
To not end in heartbreak
Risk all that we knew
I don’t want to like you but
The walls reflecting misguided intentions
I get less content with
Building this hypocrisy
My independent captivity
I know that it’s hard to be
Patient with all that I’m
Putting you through
I don’t want to like you but I do
It’s too late
To not end in heartbreak
Risk all that we knew
I don’t want to like you but I do
And I can’t stop thinking about you
I don’t want to like you but I do
And I can’t stop thinking about you
I don’t want to like you but I do

Really enjoyed this album. A neat mix of The Cure with vocals from the Cranberries. With a little shoe gaze thrown in for good measure. A very pleasing mix that is worth the time. Favorite Track: Jonatan
