Museum 03:41
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 03:06
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
