Lyrics samples from "In the Shade":
"We could find candlelight upon distant shores, it's really not that far
Dream of a better place or vanish without a trace
Let them all accept the fact, we made our choice no turning back
Small wonder that we're never going home."
- from 'Small Wonder'
"Why don't you tell it to my face, lines you can embrace
Don't just leave me hanging around.
I want to get on with my life, time for me to know the difference. "
- from 'Tell it to my Face'
"Dim the lights, get a glass from the shelf
Bring the wine, don't wanna be by myself
I opened a bottle of my favourite year
I want you, please come over here."
- from 'Untouchable'
"I know this sounds like I'm lonely, it must seem like an old line.
You left your hat on my doorstep, and I was hoping to find.
The proper moment to call you, tell you that one more time
I still miss you, and I love you
and I just want you to know I'm alright...without you."
- from 'Leaving it all Behind'
"Lately, whenever i get home
I find no long stemmed roses fragrant with a note."
- from 'Memories'
"We saved, each other from ourselves
Becoming sad footnotes of stories on the shelf"
- from 'Memories'
"Out of the sunrise, I fell for you
The veil is lifted, you come into view
This is the feelin', I can hold onto
Out of the sunrise, I call to you"
- from 'Out of the Sunrise'
