Left with busted up lips,
like the crushed leaves crunched under my feet,
when you stand there with your disaster stalking my senses,
Feeling the time slide by,
until I forget the way you left me,
motionless and having barely tried - to calm the damage left behind.
Would that fade away
just to have you again?
(I'm) entertaining my
wasted heart,
(with) moments of dedication to the cause you once fought for.
Acquaintances stream out and leave early,
when control is what they want -
and the desire for control is what I have,
in demand but only whilst I tie you down,
and the game played with the girls that hang around waiting for me to fall, not to catch but to get what they need from me.
Would that fade away
just to have you again?
(I'm) entertaining my
wasted heart,
Moments of dedication to the cause you once fought for.
Games played with the girls that hang around,
waiting for me to fall,
waiting for me to fall
and they don't want to catch me -
they just want to get what they need from me
again
Would that fade away
just to have you again?
Entertaining my
wasted heart,
Entertaining my
wasted heart.

Damage Control
02:57

You say you can't do this,
and that I ask too much,
"I'm looking for someone to love me"
but you're just looking for fun.
Call damage control,
I've said too much,
call damage control,
I'm pretending this is enough - for me.
When you've got your hands on another girl I can't judge,
I agreed to this charade to
cover my hope for us.
Call damage control,
I'm not sure I can let her go,
call damage control,
I think I've said too much.
(and) I can't keep letting you walk away in the morning,
I can't go on waking alone in your bed,
why don't you settle down for me?
Settle down for me?
Call damage control,
I'm not sure I can let her go,
Call damage control,
I've said too much.
You say you can't do this and that "I ask too much".

Savour You
05:19

Your lips, trace my neck,
and I'm struggling to say goodbye.
Waiting for you to make your final move,
and your searching exit leaves much to be desired.
My eyes give me away,
they can't draw themselves away,
even with the catcalls and gathering crowds,
I just want to savour you,
and I hope that you'll feel it too.
Why did, you give in to this now?
When you're leaving in days - couldn't you have been the stronger half?
You had no backup plan,
You didn't think this through,
I just want to savour you,
but I guess I, I won't even get to.
Waiting, for you to make your final move,
your searching exit - leaves much to be desired.
My eyes give me away,
no they can't draw themselves away
We've drawn quite a crowd,
you had no backup plan - did you?
You didn't think this one through,
You didn't think this one through.
I just want to savour you.
Your lips meet my neck,
and I was already struggling to say goodbye,
You, I'm waiting for you to make your final move,
your searching exit is not enough,
you didn't think this through.
I just want to savour you,
I just want to savour you.

Mind Your Head
02:18

Please mind your head on the way out,
I know you must feel accomplished now,
like you're a pretty good lay.
But the truth is I just
have an emptiness I need to fill,
I'll have as much fun
forgetting you.
I have the words you both expected
and never wanted to hear,
please mind your head as you leave.
I wish I could say I hope I'd been more, but the truth is I just wanted to pass the time.
No mistakes,
we both knew what our actions would bring,
No mistakes - but you should plan ahead.
Please mind your head on the way out,
I know you may feel accomplished now,
like you were a pretty good lay.

The wrong words come,
they flood out of my open pores,
slipping through when my guard's down and shattering our chances.
I'm going down home,
Got to let it sit heavy on your head a while,
I'm going down home -
I've got to wait it out.
and if you want to start something new,
you know where I'll be,
if you want to start something new,
you know where I'll be -
make up your mind soon.
Of all the questions, am I asking too much?
When I say "what do you want to do about us now?"
You just look at me like I asked something you never wanted to hear.
I'm going down home,
Got to let it sit heavy on your head a while,
I'm going down home -
I've got to wait it out.
and if you want to start something new,
you know where I'll be,
and if you want to start something new,
you know where I'll be -
make up your mind soon.
I'll be drinking coffee,
watching the 10 o'clock news,
drinking myself into apathy -
trying to forget about you
(and) it's not like I have anything left to lose
won't you make up your mind?
won't you make up your mind?
won't you make up your mind?
won't you make up your mind soon?

I took off my shoes when I walked through her door,
She said "Darling with me you'll never walk alone",
Now it's 20 past 1 on a wet Spring day and another has come to walk my way.
You'll be safe at my side if you play your cards right
Now, let's close the curtains and enjoy the night,
You'll be safe at my side if you play your cards right
Now, let's close the curtains and enjoy the night.
'coz Summer will come and I'll still be yours,
you won't let me down because you'll always be around,
the tension is high because I'm seeing you tonight,
maybe I'll mix up my words or repeat the stories I've heard,
make you love me - make you cry
then you'll be mine.
You'll be safe at my side if you play your cards right,
Now, let's close the curtains and enjoy the night.
Let's close the curtains and enjoy the night.

Calling My Name
04:30

Calling my name,
like you want me,
you won't be round here today.
You call my name,
like you own me,
is it that, that obvious?
You call my name,
like you know me,
like you know I have nothing left to lose but you.
It's hard to give the one you love,
what they need when you're here with me.
It's hard to give the one you love,
what they need when you're here with me.
The truth, the truth is all I need,
you won't get your life back,
'til you're right here.
Hard to give the one you love,
what they need when you're right here with me.
Don't panic - I'm the one, I won't let your secret slip.
A new sense of accomplishment,
as my life slips by with your hands at the steering wheel.
I was too blind to believe what my instincts said.
Don't waste your breath,
telling me you want me,
while winning her back,
don't make promises you know will fail when you look at me,
don't hold your breath I won't be here.
You're calling my name
You're calling my name
You're calling my name
It's hard to give the one you love,
what they need when you're here with me.
It's hard to, it's hard to give,
what you want when I'm holding you back.
Calling my name,
like you want me,
barefaced cheek - you don't want me
(You're) calling my name, I won't look back.
