This time the difference is
I've got no one calling me back from this edge
And this time the difference is
I've got no one wanting me back from this edge
I'm not sorry, I'll never be sorry
Cos this time I'm waiting in your room
Can you hear me?
So hopelessly I fell
That the only thought in my head was of you
And you're sailing on the blue
But like no one else that you know I see you
I'm not sorry, I'll never be sorry
Cos this time I'm waiting in your room
Can you hear me?
Carefree on a night
When I lead you down to our river, took your hand
And keeping me in sight
You took off when rainbow called you, took my life
I stayed by honesty
And I waited wanting the stories of your face
And for taking you away
With the water I threw daisies on your place
I'm not sorry, I'll never be sorry
Cos this time I'm waiting in your room
Can you hear me?

Whatever It Takes

whatever it takes you to believe it
that's all right with me
take this morning in my kitchen
or whatever that helps you to believe
you will find me down by the river
getting high on my mortality
i'll be holding hands with nameless beauty
or whoever wants to stand next to me
all eyes on me
i'm going to the moon
time heals what you can't see
heads back
i'm leaving soon leaving soon
you can take it easy
'cause i've got a mind to
put your parachute on slow
we're moving into calmer waters
where all your loveliness will show
for all of your wanting me to react to
"look no hands on this carousel"
for me to be true to whatever you cling to
whenever your heart is going to tell
all eyes on me
i'm going to the moon
time heals what you can't see
heads back
i'm leaving soon leaving soon
whatever it takes you to believe it
that's all right with me
take this morning say it walks on water
whatever that helps you to believe
you will find me down by the river
getting high on my mortality
i'll be holding hands with my nameless beauty
or whoever wants to stand next to me
all eyes on me
i'm going to the moon
time heals what you can't see
heads back
i'm leaving soon leaving soon

This high and mighty morning won't help you anymore.
You can't scrape me from the floor.
Everything around me is changing.
And I'm tempted by the witches who go waltzing in the forest.
They come calling to me nightly.
Everything around me is changing.
And isn't this always what I wanted?
Isn't it just what I always wanted?
This is only what I want.
Everything around me to be changing.
And you can send your letter to the same address.
I tend to but I won't digress.
Your head high cos you do your best.
The days are better but the night's still strong.
It falls down and I do belong somewhere underneath this song.
Now I'm tasting your ill flavour
Gather near while I am stranger.
Turn your back while I am brave.
Everything around me is changing.
And didn't I say it in my own letter.
I will always make you better.
Bring yourself over to me.
Everything except me is changing.
