Running Around

I never really thought people like you exist
I’d never found myself falling as hard as this
But you held me in your grasp
From the very first time I caught your smile
They say you’ll find just what you need when you least expect
I’d been walking with my eyes closed until the day we met
Now I’ve got your hand in mine
And I won’t be letting go for a while
You got me running round in circles
You got my heart skipping beats
Got me talking to my shadow and
Tripping over my own feet
My mind is spinning day and night
I can’t remember how to sleep
You got me running around
Now I can’t recall a time I ever felt so sure
Cos I’d never really knew what I was looking for
But you opened up my eyes
And the world around is suddenly so bright
I wonder how the days went by without you here
But I’m sensing that the road ahead is still and clear
Now there’s nothing in the way
And there’s no one that can tell me this ain’t right
You got me running round in circles
You got my heart skipping beats
Got me talking to my shadow and
Tripping over my own feet
My mind is spinning day and night
I can’t remember how to sleep
You got me running around
But you got me running round in circles
You got me walking into walls
Got me jumping at reflections
Got me pulling on push doors
Don’t quite know how you did it
But I was destined to be yours
You got me running around
You got me running around
You got me running, running around
You got me running round
You got me running, running around

Gravel and Bones

We’re a murder of crows on a wire, high above a lonesome road
We see the world from up on high, yeah and we’ve seen it all
We’ve seen them rise, we’ve seen them fall
Seen them come and go
And when the rock is rolled away
There’s nothin’ but gravel and bone
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
That’s the way the story goes
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
Kingdom come, kingdom go
Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone
See, once this road was a highway runnin’ from city to town
Day and night the road trains came thunderin’ down
But times got tough, the money dried up
They couldn’t pay back the banker’s loan
Now that mighty highway
Is nothin’ but gravel and bone
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
That’s the way the story goes
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
Kingdom come, kingdom go
Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone
Oh, don’t you cry or shoot us ‘cause we told you so
Oh don't ask why
It’s just the way the wild wind blows
See that man by the side of the road walkin’ with his head hung low?
Seen his kind a million times walkin’ like they’re pushin’ a stone
He’s seen his share of deals gone bad and love gone wrong
And in that hole where his heart once was
There’s nothin’ but gravel and bone
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
That’s the way the story goes
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
Kingdom come, kingdom go
Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
That’s the way the story goes
Gravel and bone, gravel and bone
Kingdom come, kingdom go
Then there’s nothin’ but gravel and bone

Built For Two

I can’t take
Take another lonely day
And I can’t make
Make the heartache go away
I tried to draw back the line
That I crossed so many times
I took the long way through
To find your hearts not built for two
I can’t erase
Erase so many plans we made
And I can’t change
How the memories are locked in place
But I knew it was right
When I gave up the fight
Somehow I always knew
That your hearts not built for two
I can fill this page
With chances that I gave
Or the times my love was left out to dry
And when I realised
There was nothing left to save
All I had to offer was goodbye
Now I’ll try
Try to move along the line
And I won’t cry
Because I cried until the tears ran dry
But I’ll take it in my stride
And go along for the ride
And I'll find someone new
With a heart built for two
I'll find someone new
With a heart built for two
