LYRICS: Intro: Oooooh
Verse 1:
Like a river diluted, by the flow of the tide
One stream rise to the surface, while the other subsides
Like an emptying market, at the close of the day
You can’t get what you wanted
If it’s all put away
Chorus:
Still I’m reaching for him like a ghost limb
And I don’t even want him anymore
Bridge:
Oooh, if this ladder goes nowhere
Should I still want to climb?
Should I give myself over,
to the fear of the height
To the fear of the fall
Instrumental (humming)
Verse 2:
Like a lake frozen over, many months from the sun
Drop your thoughts, watch them scatter
Couldn’t catch if you ran
Chorus:
Still I’m reaching for him like a ghost limb
And I don’t even want him anymore
Still I’m reaching for him like a ghost limb
And I don’t even want him anymore
Bridge:
Oooh, if this ladder goes nowhere
Should I still want to climb?
Should I give myself over,
to the fear of the height
To the fear of the fall
Intrstrumental: (humming)
Chorus:
Still I’m reaching for him like a ghost limb
And I don’t even want him anymore

Building a home lyrics:
Building a home
Never takes long
When you’re around
I know, which way is up, which way is down
Time, moves along
The garden it grows a time lapse of all this
Work and commuting
Just living and resting
A picture is taking shape
it’s not gonna take long, and it’s you I’ll be counting on
We’ll paint my numbers, fill in the spaces
Pieces of a puzzle are taking their shape
A black and white cat under a white kitchen table tell me two and two make four
Yellow headlights, car hum at night
Crawl into bed, finally feels alright
We’ve got our whole lives
If you’re gone all night
Time on my own, oh it won’t feel so long
Cause we’ve got our whole life
Ahead of us
You’re the one I’m thinking of always
We’ll paint by numbers, colour block lego
We’ll paint the workroom a warm terrocotta
And the colours of Sheffield remind me of my friends
And that feels alright
And the number 55 must be kingfisher blue
And the golden numbers, remind me that I’m coming home to you
18, 25, 1, 2, 3 4,
We’ll paint by numbers, fill in the spaces
Pieces of a puzzle are taking their shape
A black and white cat under a white kitchen table tell me two and two make four
We’ll paint by numbers, colour block lego
We’ll paint the workroom a warm terrocotta
And the colours of Sheffield remind me of my friends
And that feels alright
And the number 55, must be kingfisher blue
And the golden numbers, remind me that I’m coming home to you

I dont know why you’d choose now
To say these things, when we should sleep
Cause the only thing it does is keep me further still
I dont know why, you’d say these things this time of night
But I wanted to say that you’re not what you meant
It’s only the things that you hear in your head
But its over now
I dont know why, you say things that bite
But I wanted to say that you’re not what you meant
It’s only the things that you hear in your head
But its over now
I will hold to the back of your head
And hold all your thoughts in til you go to bed
And I thought I’d be waiting much longer for you
So if its only tomorrow
I’ll try to settle down
I don’t know why, its never enough
But I try and I try to make you feel I’m there
It’s only the things that you hear in your head
But its over now
I will hold to the back of your head
And hold all your thoughts in til you go to bed
And I thought I’d be waiting much longer for you
So if its only tomorrow
I’ll try to settle down
If you promise you’ll wait to go home
And I don’t wanna wait for anything, I, I don’t wanna wait for anything
I, you promised you’d stay but thats not what you meant
It’s only the things that you hear in your head
But its over now
I will hold to the back of your head
And hold all your thoughts in til you go to bed
And I thought I’d be waiting much longer for you
So if its only tomorrow
I’ll try to settle down

If only you would break
If only I would fall
It alll becomes the same when you’re not prepared to talk
Im glued to the floor…
I don’t know where to go
How can we both find solace when we
Both want to go home
And I won’t come down
Now I stumble for the words
Can’t gather up my thoughts
Grasping after something
I don’t recognise no more
You left me in the dark
Is that something we do?
When did leaving me alone
become the best that we can do
I won’t come down and you won’t come back
And you won’t come down and you wont come back
And you wont come down and you wont come back
And you wont listen to me
Once I was afraid of talking in my sleep
Knowing what I want to say but not if I should speak
Now the words fall short
Heavy on my tongue
Are we reaching breaking point or falling out of love
