Deeper Still lyrics

Follow Through  mp3  (3.3 megs)

I give up, it's not working the way that I had planned so…
I give up, I'll stop trying to mold things the way that I see fit
'Cause I'm in love and I'll let you control my life just a little bit
I give up to you

I wanted something to surrender to
There you came and
You followed through, you followed through

I wanted something to surrender to
There you came and
You followed through, you followed through…

So few times, do we imagine something that comes into existence
So many plans get forgotten and lost like old recordings
They slipped through my hands
But I guess it would get pretty boring
If we didn't have things to throw us off

I wanted something to surrender to
There you came and
You followed through, you followed through

I wanted something to surrender to
There you came and
You followed through, you followed through…


Still  mp3  (3.3 megs)

I hold my body still... until
I recall how blissful it was to move
under your spell.

I don't want to shake you from your dusty sleep,
so I hold my arm around you still
and hope that I'm in your dream...

...in your dream, do you see me
through my eyes, through my eyes?
or do you see me from far away
and are you happy to know me this way?

Are you happy to know me this way?
Are you happy to know me this way?
Are you happy to know me this way?
Are you happy to know me this way?
This way?

I hold my inhaled breath still... until
I can see how wrong it would be to block
this flow

There are certain things for me that you could never do,
and there are certain luxuries that you could never, ever
get close to
Oh, close to

...in your dream, do you see me
through my eyes, through my eyes?
or do you see me from far away
and are you happy to know me this way?

Are you happy to know me this way?
Are you happy to know me this way?
Are you happy to know me this way?
Are you happy to know me this way?
This way?


Picnics  mp3  (3.5 megs)

I was in class today, thinking about how great it would be to
be back in your arms and to stay, in the same city
Memories of picnics that we only talked about
but the image stays in my mind.
In my mind, in my mind
In my mind, in my mind

I was lying in my bed today,
thinking about how wonderful it is to play
with your hair in the air that surrounds you
Play with your hair, your hair, your hair...

I was in class today, thinking about how great it would be to
be back in your arms and to stay, in the same city
Memories of children that we only dreamed about
but their image stays in my mind
In my mind, in my mind
In my mind, in my mind

Thinking about how great it would be
Thinking about how great it would be
Thinking about how great it would be


Travelling  mp3  (3.0 megs)

Travelling, between, places
Reflects light, in eyes that are unfocused

With a focus, somewhere unseen
In the carriage of my body
I remember before I was me
When I was travelling, to see you

The breeze comes through the window
And I can feel you among all the city lights
Do you remember when you told me?
You should have been born at a different time
Well, you should have been born at a different,
Time

As I get closer to your place
I'm reminded, of how much I need you to embrace

But there's a focus, somewhere unseen
In the carriage of my body
I remember before I was me
When I was travelling, to see you


High Rises  mp3  (3.3 megs)

I didn't know that I could be so indifferent
I didn't know that I could be so unmoved
Maybe those bus rides have really started to get to me or
Maybe those high rises have really started to overshadow me

Bring back the 80s please it seems people were a lot more naive and
In their naivety they were adorable to me
Maybe it was that I was too short to come to level with
The look in their eyes
At 5 o'clock when they're just let out of work.

And I see your face…
It's enough for me to give up this race
It doesn't matter what I've done
What matters is who I've become
What matters is who I've become… yeah
What matters is who I've become

Soothe me, soothe me to sleep with your various waves
Soothe me, soothe me to sleep with your various waves
Soothe me, soothe me.


Tinfoil Ring  mp3  (1.7 megs)

We came out of the thicket
and caught the river
leaving the cathedral,
the sky less blue than green.
You and I walked quickly down,
your hand my only guide,
with its tinfoil ring.
If we were married, it is here,
natural, and unexpected,
suddenly made real
by the depth of what was before
by the depth of what was before
by the depth of what was before
suddenly made real.


(The lyrics are from a love poem written by the poet Swift in a picturesque town in Hungary.)


Almost Touching  mp3  (3.2 megs)

I've got to find my way out of this
It's too much, to see you but not touch.
Standing on a corner in the rain
waiting for my luck to change.

Under a bright sky
It's so easy to feel minuscule
... but how can my eyes be so small
and witness such beauty as you.

You look over at me
and all that I can do is freeze
You look over at me and a thousand pictures flash their flashes
You see right through me and I know you like what you see
Now me, you like what you see

Almost touching
Almost touching
Almost
Almost


Entranced  mp3 (3.3 megs)

Since you've drawn me into the curve of your chest and shoulders
I've adjusted my approach to time.

Every movement becomes
a continuous dance of love.

Why is it when we meet
I can't speak, and
why do my cheeks turn pink
as though I'd had too much to drink.

Every silence propels
This brass band in me
yells...

I can sense you everywhere
In the dust that arises
and in my hair
you're at the centre of every note
that I try to
pull from the page
pull from the page
pull from the page
pull from the page


A Different Way Home  mp3  (3.8 megs)

We took the way home that we never took before,
behind the hospital it was late
You said something about walking in the grass
And I had to try it when you mentioned that
No, it's not convenient
No, we don't have the time
No, it's not convenient
No, we don't have the time

You made me lose
something that I was waiting for
I don't have to have wait
I don't have to wait to enjoy anymore
Enjoy, enjoy, don't have to wait to enjoy anymore

We took the way home that we never took before,
behind the hospital it was late
You said something about walking in the grass
And I had to try it when you mentioned that
No, it's not convenient
No, we don't have the time
I know that it's not convenient
But I'm gonna make the time
Oh I'm gonna make the time
Oh I'm gonna make the time


How Sweet  mp3  (3.7 megs)

I've never had such hugs before
And I've never been touched that way before
I feel as though I've been missing so much
And I see how I've been deprived so much

Oh lover you make yourself so close to me,
that I have no choice but to take notice and see
Oh lover you make yourself so close to me,
That you make me see, how sweet things can be
You make yourself so close to me
You make me see how sweet things can be
How sweet things can be

Hey...

Since you've been around we've spent hours and hours
Cradled in each other's arms and I will never tire
Cause time with you is always time well spent
And I can't get enough of bathing in your scent
Time with you is time well spent
Especially when, when I'm bathing in your scent
in your sweet scent


Pull  mp3  (2.7 megs)

You know you've got a way
of pulling me up
with your gravity.

I'm gonna let this feeling stay
I won't push it aside
at least not for today.

...and you pull me over
oh you pull me under
now I'm falling into your smile.

Oh you pull me over
and yes you pull me under
now I'm falling into your smile.

You know you've got a way
of catching me by surprise
with your dark and playful eyes.

You conduct so beautifully
I don't want this movement
to ever come to an end.

...and you pull me over
oh you pull me under
now I'm falling into your smile.

Oh you pull me over
and yes you pull me under
now I'm falling into your smile.
