Look how far I’ve come You were wrong to leave me alone Don’t you dare hold my hand You were wrong to leave me alone So you heard all about me and you didn’t ask, yeah? Let’s hope you ain’t sleeping in the second half Maybe deep down you get it Maybe only God knows And what’s with all these pretenses? I really wanna, do the work and let it grow now Coz we’ve got a lot to show Whether or not you try to stop it Oh, out of sight, out of mind It never mattered If you can get ‘em on your side That’s all that matters, yeah Look how far I’ve come You were wrong to leave me alone Don’t you dare hold my hand You were wrong to leave me alone Look how far I’ve come You were wrong to leave me alone If you’re scared, hold my hand You were wrong to leave me alone Ya ya ya ya ya ya ooooh I think you better, move on and let it go now Ya ya ya ya ya ya ooooh I think you better, move slow and let it grow now I can’t pretend I didn’t sit around and wait Had my head screwed on backwards trying to find a way out But I can see clearly now And I’m astounded Try to stay grounded but… You were wrong about me You were wrong about me Look how far I’ve come You were wrong to leave me alone Don’t you dare hold my hand You were wrong to leave me alone Look how far I’ve come You were wrong to leave me alone If you’re scared, hold my hand You were wrong to leave me alone

Tethered 04:02
I can’t explain it I’m ravenous for you once more Even more than I was before I’m done complaining That I’m not where I should’ve been When it was me that went missing After all that we’ve been through I’m holding onto you I can’t explain it I had two worlds I tried to meet One behind my eyes and one beneath my feet You were somewhere in between them It’s too hard to believe that You were too hard to see then After all that we’ve been through I'm holding onto you (Instrumental) After all that we’ve been through I'm holding onto you

We’ve all been on the other side, Trying to get in, so Why you hanging off us like a swing? Why you hanging off us like a swing? We’ve all been on the other side, Trying to get in, so Why you turning on us like a switch? Why you turning on us like a switch? We got all this rage kept contained Gotta let it out But you’re thinking ‘bout your face How to save it It won’t work no more We’ve all been on the other side, Trying to get in, so Why you hanging off us like a swing? Why you hanging off us like a swing? Give up Hold up We’re waiting… There’s a lot that you won’t understand And you’re lucky ask Don’t act surprised, We’ve always been here Working twice as hard For half as much Still, I’m the lucky one it’s all in my head You can’t say nothing no more It’s all the same If you don’t know by now, by now (x4 alone, x4 during last chorus) We’ve all been on the other side, Trying to get in, so Why you hanging off us like a swing? Why you hanging off us like a swing? We’ve all been on the other side, Trying to get in, so Why you turning on us like a switch? Why you turning on us like a switch?

Won’t you stay with me in, In this moment I don’t know What awaits for us on the other side Era over Tears fall down Guessing rarely pays off Just enter slowly Shook from slumber I’ll be yours And the whole world starts to open up Before and after They look the same I can’t tell the difference, anymore x2 Do I have a choice? Or am I destined to be this way Do I have a voice? Or am I damned? (Backing vocals: ‘I can’t tell the…’ ‘I can’t tell the difference’)

Painted Over 03:57
I’ll be on my way I’ll be on my way No more sitting in doubt, no Take me home ‘Cause I can’t see You beyond myself When I look around Sights remain unchanged Life remains uncrowded Remnants of a choice Made by someone else Painted over my way I was skating across the ice in truants shoes Googly eyes for all the forbidden fruit So how’d it ever lead to you? Now I can’t see you go Don’t go! (Chorus x2) Backing vocal: ‘no more sitting, yeah, sitting in this doubt’
