I am full
And I'm waiting round for you
Dog days are done
Babe come driving we'll just cruise
'Cause you're on my mind
Car's dead
Dad says give him to weeks to use
Grass in my blood
But babe I'm stoned on you
'Cause you're on my mind
Yeah you're on my mind
Said I'm not gonna let you out of my sight just yet
'Cause it's only ten and I've got a big empty bed
Said I'm not gonna get this cab home yet
'Cause I've got plenty of time to spare
Said I lost my mind on a backyard bet
Say you're overtired and you're under read
Got old TV ads running through my mind
I am tired
Of walking in your shoes
It's cold outside
Come in give me something to lose
'Cause you're on my mind

Better Now

You say you're better off than before
But you spend your nights on the bar floor
You say you kicked the sadness and you're better now
But I see the way that you hurt deep down
Your days are spent avoiding old friends
Good nights are hard to come by at this end
But I won't take you back
I'll get you help
Don't make out like you're okay
When you're drowning inside
I'll pick you up off the bathroom floor
And I'll hang your jacket on my door
You take your pills tell us you're better now
Go home and wish you were in the clouds
You take your pills tell us you're better now
Go home and wish you were in the clouds
But I won't take you back
I'll get you help
Don't make out like you're okay
When you're drowning inside

The Same

You're toeing the line
Can't figure out what's next
I'll take what is mine
You figure out what's next
'Cause I am falling through the cracks
But you won't cut me any slack
We all need a change
'Cause night to day
It's all the same
Dad's mowing the lawn
Rain made the grass too wet
I heard you were gone
When I saw you there
'Cause I've relaxed and now relived
But you won't cut me any slack
In case your conscience might
We all need a change
'Cause night to day
It's all the same
You wish I'd take you away
And I wish the same
I heard that you stayed home last night
And I wondered if I could have stopped by
We all need a change
'Cause night to day
It's all the same
We all need a change
'Cause night to day
It's all the same
You wish I'd take you away
And I wish the same

Stood up and I'm bleeding for the thrill of it
Too late to catch you by the ear
A fucking afterthought I knew it babe
Go take your seat in line with your fears
But I'll sympathise
'Cause I care
I'll tell you what you wanna hear
You keep telling me it's my fault
Big child's afraid of feeling cold
Another year spent in the thick of you
Guess I really fucked it up this time
My apathetic Sydney attitude
Can't stop this Western city grind
But I'll sympathise
'Cause I care
I'll tell you what you wanna hear
You keep telling me it's my fault
Big child's afraid of feeling cold
And I can't take it away
I wish that I could
And I won't lead you astray
You wish that I would
But I'll sympathise
'Cause I care
I'll tell you what you wanna hear
You keep telling me it's my fault
Big child's afraid of feeling cold

Oh when the night time comes, I will call
When the night hits y'all, I'll be full
I'll be beneath the palms of a sticky summer night
Sound the alarm, cause it's a dance summer night
Oh can you feel, can you feel the light?
Oh when the night time comes, gonna leave my home
When you're feeling my love, I'll be gone
Let go of control, it's all turning up gold
And when you call my name, it takes hold
Oh can you feel, can you feel the light?
I said it's forty degrees, can you feel the palms?
And you're begging me please, but I don't have time
