Museum
You got a new girl and she's got you sweet
I've got some things make your picture complete ‘cause
We shared a history I'd gladly impart so that she'd meet your hero
She'd know him
But she gets the learning of lessons I taught
And she gets the walking through gates that I wrought
And I've got the key to the museum of thought
That no one but us ever entered
That no one but us ever entered
She's got hearts in her eyes and they're making her blind
But I've got the tricks to read your mind
I know I could teach her and that might be kind
But I'll back off, she can find her own way
Because she gets the learning of lessons i taught
And she gets the walking through gates that I wrought
And I've got the key to the museum of thought
That no one but us ever entered
That no one but us ever entered
And it’s not to say it will work out the same
And it’s not to say you can’t make a new name
So I will stay quiet, she'll feel her own pain
But I'll sing her my songs if you do it again
But she might get the learning of lessons i taught
And she might get the walking through gates that i wrought
So I'll keep the key to the museum of thought
That no one but us ever entered
That no one but us ever entered
So baby talk and bear your soul
And your body, and the whole
Reason you go out there every day
Then slip in to slipping out of touch
And give in to not giving much
And move on to someone new
And forget she ever walked within you
And I will just quietly curate this museum of thought
That no one but us ever entered
I will just quietly curate this museum of thought
That no one but us ever entered

Anyone
I'm sorry but it's true
I've made my decision and
I'm sorry but it's you
Though I may be prone to indecision
I have never been so sure
I've never needed no-one to know
My own mind before
And honestly I'd go one further
I'm not saying I've seen all there is to see
But I've seen enough
I know enough to know
I like what I see
And I'm just saying
I've been dreaming only of you
Long enough to know enough to know
I might be through with
Anyone who's not you
Anyone who's not you
And they say this could go
They say I should know
Better than to be surprised
Why expect clearer skies
Than you're accustomed to getting?
But I love this forgetting the darkness
In favour of light
And I'm alright 'til I'm not
I've got you 'til I've not
Got someone to sing to
Or someone who's not you
I'm on fire 'til I'm burned
There are no lessons learned
And I have earned this
And I deserve this so
I'm not saying you're my one and only
But I've said enough, I've said too much
You know I'd like so much to be
And I'm just saying
I've been dreaming only of you
Long enough to know enough to know
I might be through with
Anyone who's not you
Anyone who's not you
I've been dreaming only of you
Only of you
Only of you
I've been dreaming only of you
Only of you
Only of you
I've been dreaming long enough
To know enough
That close enough's
Not good enough
And near enough
Will not do
Is not you so
You're invited to all my future plans
Not that I'm planning much
But I've planned enough to know
I hold your hand
And I'll be saying
I was dreaming only of you
Long before I found the nerve
To find the words
To say I'm through with
Anyone who's not you
Anyone who's not you

Let This Remain
Even at your worst
You drink me dry of all attempts at quenching my own thirst
And even at my best
I give in to console the empty feeling in my chest
And let you
Meet the basic need in me then get up and be gone
Take the heat, retreat and leave the room to carry on
So between me and you
Let This Remain
But you could be the only one I don’t regret yet
Be the only one I don’t regret yet
And even if we don’t
The idea and the will just grow into a greater want
And it will manifest in ways
Let tonight be a stutter midst the eloquence of days
I’ll let you
Meet the basic need in me then get up and be gone
Take the heat, retreat and leave the room to carry on
So between me and you
Let this remain
Between me and you
Let this remain
But you could be the only one I don’t regret yet
Be the only one I don’t regret yet
Be the only one I don’t regret yet
Be the only one I don’t regret yet
And then there comes the day
I step out and examine in the light this shallow grave
For all the love I’ve made
But you could be the only one I don’t regret yet
Be the only only one I don’t regret yet
Be the only one I don’t regret yet
Be the only one I don’t regret yet

On Board
I don’t need no shore leave
‘Cause feet fixed I’d still sway
To the sea’s heave
Don’t need to be wrung out or hung out to dry
I know how the lands lie
And if you came on board
I know you’d scan for the safety of a lighthouse blink
Any port in a storm, love
You promise you won’t falter but I know
I’ve seen men sink
So you should get on board
With someone whose course is
Steadier than mine
You should get on board
With someone whose eyes are
On the horizon not on the skies
On board with someone whose anchor is
Heavier than mine
You should get on board
‘Cause I’m a flotsam jetsam mess
A drunken sailor in a dress
I’m fifty fathoms deep no less
When my heart’s at sea
And if you came on board
I know you’d tire of the tossing of my seabed
And forget what I said
That ships were not built to be safe, No, no, no
So you should get on board
With someone whose course is
Steadier than mine
You should get on board
With someone whose eyes are
On the horizon not on the skies
On board with someone whose anchor is
Heavier than mine
You should get on board
Well I’ve weathered worse storms
Than the one, the one you’ve been
Brewing up in your mind
I’ve weathered worse storms
Lord knows, he knows I’ve been Sailing for an awfully long time
In worse storms
Than all your fair-weather friends
And your shipmates combined
Tie up those lines
‘Cause I shot the albatross
I will swim across
The old man and the sea
He has nothing on me
‘Cause this love is steady
Truer than north
Will you take that on board?
No you should get on board
With someone whose course is
Steadier than mine
(I’ve weathered storms)
You should get on board with
Someone whose eyes
Are on the horizon not on the skies
(I stare at stars)
On board with someone whose
Anchor is heavier than mine
(I’ve sailed these seas)
You should get on board
(Waiting for thee)
I’ll be the figurehead
On your ship’s bough
I’ll be the last glimpse of a topsail
As we go down
I’ll be waiting on the seabed
Repeating the words you said
(Don’t forget)
“Ships were not built to be safe”
And in all my life’s mistakes
You were not one
‘Cause all I’ve ever done
All I’ve ever done is love you
To the bottom of the
Deep blue sea
