This is the bottom line
Let it find you
I’ll go there with you
I guess it’s kinda like
You’re losing all you had held onto
And I can hear it now
Rushing over, rushing to me
You know I’m feeling like
I can’t undo it
Now I’m in too deep
I don’t know what I was thinking
Or what happened over
At the waterline
I don’t know what happened to me
Or where I was swimming
Every other night
This is the bottom line
Let it find you
I’ll go there with you
And I can see a time
When I wound up with
Another case of ills
I don’t know what I was thinking
Or what happened over
At the waterline
I don’t know what happened to me
Or where I was swimming
Every other night
Help me to revive
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me to rewind
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me to revive
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me, help me,
Help me through the storm
Help me, help me, help me
Help me, help me, help me
I guess the bottom line
Is wake up swimming
When you’ve found all you need
I can feel it now
Rushing over, rushing in too
I don’t know what I was thinking
Or what happened over
At the waterline
I don’t know what happened to me
Or where I was swimming
Every other night
Help me to revive
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me to rewind
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me to revive
I’m a liar, I’m alone
Help me, help me,
help me through the storm
Help me, help me, help me
Help me, help me, help me

Butterflies
04:40
|
|||
I remember trying
To fight the fever
Like you're feeding on your knees
But I don't need it
Starved of life I took your love
And held it under
‘Til I realised
You left your ghost in here
You made it hurt like that
When you came up, to my door
Butterflies in my guts
Butterflies in my mouth
Man, I felt it
I need your fucking love to save me
I need your fucking love to save me
Oh, I needed you
I remember fighting
More light-headed
Like I'm bleeding on my back
But didn't get it
When you came up to my door
Butterflies in my guts
Butterflies in my mouth
Oh, I felt it
I need your fucking love to save me
I need your fucking love to save me
Leaning for your touch, for your touch
Leaning for your love, to save me
Baby don't be like ...
Baby don't leave me out here like ...
Baby don't be like ...
Baby don't leave me out here like ...
Baby don't be like ...
Baby don't leave me out here like ...
Baby don't be like ...
I need your fucking love to save me
I need your fucking love to save me
I need your fucking love to move me
Oh, I needed you

Tidal Fight
04:59
|

I just can’t believe my luck
I was choked up and tied to
The water in my lungs
With a bad thought about where
I’d head when I woke up
I just need to
Connect with you
So I swam ‘til my feet got wet
And the dive belt
That sad weight
Got underneath my skin
Where you bit through and marked me
It lingers like dust in air
It’s the last thing I need from you
I would follow
If I could stand the light against the wall
I would follow
You anywhere but here
And all and all
I know
If anyone has a way to get me home
I’ll go
If anyone has a way to get me home
Well I swam ‘til I was out of touch
Then my nerves broke, and I fell
Into the depths of us
With a loose head that told me
To go back and just give up
But I need to
Connect with you
I would follow
If I could stand the light against the wall
I would follow
You anywhere but here
And all and all
I know
If anyone has a way to get me home
I’ll go
If anyone has a way to get me home
And I’m gone
If anyone has a way to get me home
And I’m done
If anyone has a way to get me home

Frostbitten
03:44
|
|||
I was proper sideways when you said
That we wouldn’t leave together
We were in the mountains all alone
When you drove off, yeah, whatever
Oh, that morning
You were salt on my skin
Oh, that morning
Left us frostbite, frostbitten
You were fucking crazy to believe
That I’d follow you forever
We were sleeping always on timber floors
And I’d sleep there though, whatever
But we were so drunk, most of the time
Oh, that morning
You were salt on my skin
Oh, that morning
Left us frostbite, frostbitten
You’re not a young man anymore
And you know it
Keep us dragging through the reeds with you
And the heartbreaking change
That came over me that day
I was so far from anywhere with you
Oh, that morning
You were salt on my skin
Oh, that morning
Left us frostbite, frostbitten

Desert
04:23
|
|||
I know you’ve got your ways to
Show up at my door
Feeling all let down
With you hair onto the floor
I know when you come walking
And the rhythms of your feet
I know when you get let down
And I know it’s always me … whatever
And I was talking to your sister
She came over unannounced
In the night your mother left you
And I hardly made a sound
It was shadows on me
It was shadows on me
It was dark on me
It was dark on me
Whatever, whatever
You go and get stuck in the desert
Whatever, whatever
You go and get stuck in the desert
Whatever, whatever
You go and get stuck in the desert
I still had a bad tooth
That took me to the ground
And you went back to Sydney
But you hardly made a sound
It’s gone out with the water
That drank up me
It’s dead to me, yeah
No, it’s dead to me …
Whatever, whatever
You go and get stuck in the desert
Whatever, whatever
You go and get stuck in the desert
I never, I never
I never go back there, whatever
Whatever, whatever

Otherside
03:51
|
|||
It was kinda like
All my fear crashed at once
In a lonely room
The other side of your love
It was like I’d just run too far
Downhill
I was filling up
Everything I’d emptied out
For another chance
At the world I’d cut down
When the river broke through
Oh, my god, it got me stuck
I was trying to get back to
A time when I just gave a fuck
It was kinda like
Clawing back through running water
For another lung
To breathe in what was gone, yeah
It was like it just got too deep
And man, I give it up
(I should have cut my hands)
Just to show you I was real
(I should have given up all I had)
Take the blood in me, yeah
When the river broke through
Oh, my god, it got me stuck
I was trying to get back to
A time when I just gave a fuck
Just gave a fuck
I don’t wanna feel like I’ve lost anything
Lost anything at all
I just wanna get back to you
Give me a chance to break my fall
Should have cut my hands
Should have given up all I had
Should have cut my hands
Should have given up all I had

Future
05:32
|
|||
I could, I couldn’t
Divorce myself of my future
It hung
All around my bed that day
A sordid place
My dreams all grey
All you’d say
I move this way
Or I move that way
But when you left
My knees went first
And there I broke
They say that when they held you under
You could still breathe
And when they dragged you asunder
You were still free
Laying there with me
Stay out
Late I’m searching
Every night
Streets I’m wandering around
It’s what I needed
Dancing
Like the cold wind does
Fingers
Reaching up above
To the cracks in your window
I’ve found
My upside down
My beating heart
Yeah, and when we kissed
My mind went first
This restless curse
They say that when I held you under
You could still breathe
And when they dragged you asunder
You were still free
Laying there with me

Oh, This House Is Empty
02:32
|
|||
Oh my, oh my, oh
This house is alone
Floating around somewhere
With me in its bones
Late for a meeting
‘Cos I stayed up for her
And no one comes looking
Here anymore
Oh, take me, take me
Back to the end
Where I last spent
The few dollars I had
Trying to forget
A life in this house
That floated in water
And sank silently
Oh, take me, take me
Back to my friends
Where I could swim
With red dirt on my breath
Don’t let me give up on things that we did
Don’t let me forget that we spent it well
