Up All Night lyrics - Alex Clare

Wakin' up in someone else's bed
Was what I was waitin' for.
Oh my days, what have I done?
She saw me sneaking out the door.
What have I been waiting for?
Been wasting all my time,
Watchin' my youth slip away
Surely is a crime.

And no, she don't know what we do in our spare time.
No she don't know that we've been up all night
All night, all night, all night

[Chorus: x2]
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning.

Sun is out while I'm walkin' home,
And my head's up in the clouds.
Trying to get myself to bed
But I really don't know how.

And no, she don't know what I do in my spare time.
No she don't know that we've been up all night
All night, all night, all night

[Chorus: x2]
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning.

When I get myself home to my bedroom,
I'm gonna sleep all day 'til the sun sets.
[x4]

[Chorus: x2]
We go on and on and on and on and on
Never knowing where, never knowing where
We gonna, we gonna, we gonna end up in the morning.

Treading Water lyrics - Alex Clare

My heart just sank the moment I saw you,
You're the image of a girl that I used to know.
Don't be alarmed, if it seems hard, for me to explain,
But every detail of your face makes me recall the name.
Hmmm treading water, I keep,
Treading water.

Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.
Maybe it's another chance,
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way.
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.

Can you forgive the things I do, that I can't amend?
Not the way I yearn for her,
I hope you can't pretend.
Girl you're a fire and you'll find,
That I want to get burned.
No matter what you can teach me,
I'm sure I'll never learn.
Hmmm treading water, I keep,
Treading water.

Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.
Maybe it's another chance,
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way.
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.

If my concentration,
Seems spread too thin.
And when you speak, my eyes glaze over.
I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her.

And you're another chance,
To mock myself again.
Maybe you're another chance,
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way.
Maybe it's another chance.

Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.
Baby your another chance,
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way.
Maybe it's another chance,
To mock myself again.

Relax My Beloved lyrics - Alex Clare

Relax my beloved, don't worry for me,
Don't shed a tear for me always be near for me.
Be confident my love don't bow your head for me,
Promise you'll smile for me don't ever cry for me.
You know these walls they may fall down,
But I'll still hold on to you,
At heights higher than you'd imagine me too.

Then maybe again we would weep like we've done a thousand times before,
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door.

Be still my heart, I'm only a moment away,
In the next room or at the break of day.
And I would walk, once again to see your face again,
And I'd hear every word you'd have to say.

Then maybe again we would weep like we've done a thousand times before,
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door, no no no no.
Then maybe again we would weep like we've done a thousand times before,
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door, no no no no no.

(Ooh)

Then maybe again we would weep like we've done a thousand times before,
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door.
Then maybe again we would weep like we've done a thousand times before,
Don't turn your back on me, or shout as you walk out the door, no no no no no no.

Too Close lyrics - Alex Clare

You know I'm not one to break promises,
I don't want to hurt you but I need to breathe.
At the end of it all, you're still my best friend,
But there's something inside that I need to release.
Which way is right, which way is wrong,
How do I say that I need to move on?
You know we're heading separate ways.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
There's nothing I can really say.
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more,
Got to be true to myself.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
So I'll be on my way.

You've given me more than I can return,
Yet there's oh so much that you deserve.
There's nothing to say, nothing to do.
I've nothing to give,
I must live without you.
You know we're heading separate ways.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
There's nothing I can really say.
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more,
Got to be true to myself.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
So I'll be on my way.

So I'll be on my way.

And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
There's nothing that I can really say.
I can lie no more, I can hide no more,
Got to be true to myself.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
So I'll be on my way.

So I'll be on my way.
So I'll be on my way.

When Doves Cry lyrics - Alex Clare

Dig if you will the picture,
Of you and I engaged in a kiss.
The sweat of your body covers me my darling.
Can you my darling,
Can you picture this?

Dream if you can a courtyard,
An ocean of violets in bloom.
Animals strike curious poses,
They feel the heat,
The heat between me and you.

How can you just leave me standing,
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding,
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold.
Maybe you're just like my mother,
She's never satisfied.
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like,
When doves cry.

How can you just leave me standing,
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding,
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold.
Maybe you're just like my mother,
She's never satisfied.
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like,
When doves cry.
When doves cry.

Touch if you will my stomach,
Feel how it trembles inside.
You've got the butterflies all tied up,
Don't make me chase you,
Even doves have pride.

How can you just leave me standing,
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding,
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold.
Maybe you're just like my mother,
She's never satisfied.
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like,
When doves cry.

How can you just leave me standing,
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding,
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold.
Maybe you're just like my mother,
She's never satisfied.
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like,
When doves cry.
When doves cry.

Hummingbird lyrics - Alex Clare

Take what you need, and leave the rest,
No I don't mind, no I don't mind,
I'll get this off my chest,
There's nowhere else I'd rather be.

Come flying in, and then again,
I'm not here long enough to pretend that I seem so well,
There's nowhere else you'd rather be.

Like a hummingbird in flight you are,
Hovering, hovering 'round me,
And I move near, you fly away.
Like a hummingbird in flight you are,
Hovering, hovering near me,
As I move near, you fly away.

Don't fly away [x3]

What can I say, you have to wait,
You find it hard to say and to articulate,
I know there's nowhere else you'd rather be.

It seems so clear, I know we're through,
Yet all I wanna do is make love to you,
I know there's nowhere else you'd rather be.

Like a hummingbird in flight you are,
Hovering, hovering near me,
As I move near, you fly away.
Like a hummingbird in flight you are,
Hovering, hovering near me,
As I move near, you fly away.

Don't fly away [x5]

Buzzing around my head, things you have done,
The words you have said.
Remember me, after you've left,
I'll try but I can't forget.

Like a hummingbird in flight you are,
Hovering, hovering 'round me,
As I move near, you fly away.
Like a hummingbird in flight you are,
Hovering, hovering 'round me,
As I move near, you fly away.

Don't fly away [x5]

Hands Are Clever lyrics - Alex Clare

Care about no history,
I just wanna go and raise a family with you,
Raise 'em true, raise 'em properly.
If you're a car you're built for speed,
And I wanna go fast so gimme what I need now,
I bet you hear that all the time.
I've been watchin' you sitting there,
And I wanna pull you near.

Words are clever,
Hands are better,
So let's put them together.
Do you want what I got?
Cause I need your company.
If you doubt a thing that I say,
And you're tired of playing games, I'm in!

I'm gonna get you those precious things,
Like old brand whiskey and chicken wings,
See that's a promise I can keep.
I like cashmere I like your sweater,
But if you take it off we'll both feel better,
You know I'll help you happily.
If these lights are low enough,
No one's gonna see you blush.

Words are clever,
Hands are better,
So let's put them together.
Do you want what I got?
Cause I need your company.
If you doubt a thing that I say,
And you're tired of playing games, I'm in!

(Ooooh)
There's only so much I can say,
To convince you.
Though words have their place,
Not in a bedroom.
Said I don't care if you go.
Well, that's a lie, cause I do.

Words are clever,
Hands are better,
So let's put them together.
Do you want what I got?
Cause I need your company.
If you doubt a thing that I say,
And you're tired of playing games, I'm in!

Words are clever,
Hands are better,
So let's put them together.
Do you want what I got?
Cause I need your company.
If you doubt a thing that I say,
And you're tired of playing games, I'm in!

And you're tired of playing games, I'm in!

Tightrope lyrics - Alex Clare

Life's a tightrope,
And you're standing on one toe.
Don't let the fear take hold of you,
You're bound to fall to the ground below.
Pick yourself up again,
Over the edge again,
Hold on to your hopes and dreams.
When all seems to be lost,
Don't start to count the costs,
Just go and begin again.

Tight rope walker, tight rope walker.

[Chorus:]
The only thing I'm sure of is, to have no fear at all,
Just go, keep on going on.
And the only thing that's certain is sometimes you're bound to fall,
Just go, keep on going on.

When all you work for,
Comes tumbling to the ground.
Don't let the sadness fill your heart,
Tomorrow may be a better day.
Lift your head up again,
You know you'll start again,
No matter what may come of it.
You know there's more to life,
I'm sure that you'll survive,
You know what you have to do.

Tight rope walker, tight rope walker.

[Chorus:]
The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
Just go, keep on going on.
And the only thing that's certain is sometimes you're bound to fall,
Just go keep, on going on.

Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
Who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring.
Who knows, who knows, who knows what may come tomorrow,
Who knows, who knows, who knows, what tomorrow may bring.

The only thing I'm sure of is to have no fear at all,
Just go, keep on going on,
And the only thing that's certain is sometimes you're bound to fall,
Just go, keep on going on [x2]

Whispering lyrics - Alex Clare

Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I pass myself down to my knees.
Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I fall through the willow trees, and I said.

Who will care for the falling?
Who will care for the falling... leaves?

Whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I fall through the willow trees, and I said.

Who will care for the falling?
Who will care for the falling?

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands,
Tender, cool breeze, keeps me where I am.
Suddenly here, when I want to scream,
Autumn calms me down, keeps me in my dreams.

Then I went whispering, whispering, whispering, whispering
As I pass myself down to my knees.
Whispering, whispering, those dew drops are glistening,
As I fall through the willow trees, and I said.

Who will care for the falling?
Who would care for the falling?

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands,
Tender, cool breeze keeps me where I am.
Suddenly here, when I want to scream,
Autumn calms me down, leaves me in her dreams.

Keep on falling down, they keep on falling down,
Keep on falling down, keep on falling down.

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands,
Tender, cool breeze, keeps me where I am.
Suddenly here, when I want to scream,
Autumn calms me down, leaves me in my dreams.

Autumn shades, calm my shaking hands,
Tender, cool breeze, keeps me where I am.
Suddenly hearing, when I want to scream,
Oh, please just cut me down, leave me in my dreams.

Love You lyrics - Alex Clare

Though I left you there sleeping
No I dare not say a word
Silently weeping
Knowing what I heard
What can I say
I was never good with words
My tongue always got it wrong
Hoping that you knew all along
I love you, I love you [x2]

Hell I've done all I can
How else can I get this through
I know you're someone else's
And I'm sure he needs you
When I'm laying in my bed
I can say what's on my mind
Let my actions be my words
I'm sure that you heard
I love you, I love you [x2]

I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you

Sanctuary lyrics - Alex Clare

You left me broken
So many tears I cried for you.
Tried to understand
all that we've been through

Lost, confused
Is this hope? Abuse?
I'll still shelter you,
keep you warm
Protect you from the storm
Holding you close to my heart

I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your open arms
and I will find sanctuary

Wrapped around you
The whole world just disappears
Time stands still when I'm with you
A moment feels like years

I feel confused
There's so much to lose.
My head is fighting with my heart,
it feels so torn apart

Holding you close to my heart

I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your open arms
and I will find sanctuary

Just making it up as I go along
Feels so right when I'm with you,
but I know it's wrong.

I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your arms
I will find sanctuary in your open arms
and I will find sanctuary.

I Won't Let You Down lyrics - Alex Clare

Just another grey autumn day
You're the sunshine trying to break through
No I never imagined that my path would lead to you
A look in your eyes as they met mine
Seem to say we're the same
In so many ways
Though we're worlds apart
I will promise you

I won't let you down
No I won't let you down

There are so many reasons to keep us apart
But it won't stop me losing
My mind or my heart
What would I give
To touch your hand
Oh just feel your skin
I'd breathe you in
Could this ever be
You'll be next to me

No I won't let you down
No I won't let you down

I know myself so well
But I've never been here before
You're just out of my reach
But I will be here
Of that you can be sure
Can be sure

It's another grey autumn day
You're the sunshine trying to break through
I can only imagine that I'm walking with you
I realise if you were mine
We may fall apart
Oh you'd have my heart
There's too many things between you and me

No I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't I won't let you down
No I won't let you down

Where Is The Heart? lyrics - Alex Clare

This ain't a song that I should write for you
Lately I'm just into verse,
As dedicated as something new
And I know where is the heart in this,
You left this taste on my tongue
If that's all that takes my sense,
I'd catch it on a breeze and fill my lungs

And
Where is the heart in this,
I don't know, I don't know
Where is the heart in this,
I don't know, I don't know

This isn't something I wanna sing about
Don't wanna give away too much,
It's been so long since I last fall out
And you know I think about you constantly and I just want my sould to shout,
Perhaps I should collect my things and kick myself out.

And
Where is the heart in this,
I don't know, I don't know

Where is the heart in this,
I don't know, I don't know

No this is not the song.
These are not the words that I thought I would write down for you,
But I feel like I have to
I guess you still got me asking
I know you still got me asking

Where is the heart in this?
I don't know, I don't know

Where is the heart in this?
I don't know, I don't know

I don't know...

Caroline lyrics - Alex Clare

Leave your back door open for me and I
Put your keys in under the door on time
Seems we've been waiting for a long time
My delay surely will be a crime

You know whether we can do anything
I know that you can do everything
You said that we should try many things
Let's make an hour so we can do everything

I can find a way to make you love me more than you do
Caroline
I don't want to waste my time unless I'm loving you
My dear
Caroline, Caroline, Caroline

We had each other for too short a while
You caught my soul with your gentle smile
I can swim in your eyes so deep
Rest my lips upon yours so sweet

You know just how I feel for you
I know that my love is true
I'ma tired, I've been feelin' blue
Just let me do what I want to do

I can find a way to make you love me more than you do
Caroline
I don't want to waste my time unless I'm loving you
My dear
Caroline, Caroline....Caroline

I've tried all I can
There's no getting through
Hope you get all you deserve and some happiness too
I'm sure there's a better man
Somewhere waiting for you
But if he doesn't come along
You know I'll be waiting here for you

I can find a way to make you love me more than you do
Caroline
I don't want to waste my time unless I'm loving you
My dear
Caroline
I can find a way to make you love me more than you do
Caroline
No I don't
I don't wanna waste my time unless I'm loving you
My dear
Caroline, Caroline, Caroline, Caroline
No oh Caroline
