So many lives that intertwine
And melodies about to start
So many weaves forced to unwind
And lonesome songs encased in hearts

And as the music plays
No one stops to listen
And as the last notes fade
Did everybody miss them?
Does anybody miss them?

And just down from James Street
Where crowns and crooks alike do meet
I'll search for words I'll never find
I'll work for dreams money can't buy

And just down from James Street
My hymns are on a different sheet
And I'm wondering if someone else
Is singing them with me

Blurring sounds, unfocused speech
Where human touch is accident
Connections near but out of reach
That all mean nothing since she wentaway

And there's a fraying thread
Through all the roads I'm travelling
Leading to my head
From where I began unraveling
Can they see me unraveling?

And just down from James Street
Where crowns and crooks alike do meet
I'll search for words I'll never find
I'll work for dreams money can't buy

And just down from James Street
My hymns are on a different sheet
And I'm wondering if someone else
Is singing them with me

Display my heart and soul for sale
And hope someone will see it's worth
Search through stalls to no avail
For rope to tether me to Earth

And if there's something else
In this world worth living for
Then I'll take it now
Cos I can't take no more
Cos I can't take no more

Scared to look around
The world is smaller with your eyes down
Six feet above the ground
Twelve feet from where I wish I was

Empty tins of paint
The void I filled with Librium and work
Passion wrought with hate
Reduced to insincerely asking generic faces as they browse:

"What are you looking for?"
"What are you looking for?"
"What are you looking for?"
Cos if they really knew then surely here's the last place they'd be?

Curious, I peer
At a painting of a girl in patchwork dress
Eyes of love and fear
Their hazel melancholy tell of what I know so well

Shoulders hunched and broad
His gaze hovers, lost but strong
A price he can't afford
But still I turn my head and find I('m) tentatively ask(ed)

"What are you looking for?"
"What are you looking for?"
"What are you looking for?"
Cos if I really knew then surely here's the last place I'd be?

"What are you looking for?"
"What are you looking for?"
"What are you looking for?"
But maybe in this moment is right where I need to be

Catch a glance
Eyes locked in dance
Twirling, flying, falling

Try a smile
Let it linger a while
Longing, hoping, mourning

Read the light behind your eyes
A heart as incomplete as mine
A song that sings of what it's like
To feel alone and never know if you're alive

Hear a voice
Lost in a crowd
"Foolish, guilty, pointless"

Shake a thought
Fleeting reverie
"Stupid, naive, worthless"

Read the light behind your eyes
A heart as incomplete as mine
A song that sings of what it's like
To feel alone and never know if you're alive

Read the light behind your eyes
A heart that's in an out of time
A song that savours every line
Awake at night, trying to write the perfect rhyme

These conversations only go so far
Before you've set yourself up to fall back down hard
So why, when I don't even know who you are
Do I talk, and talk, and talk?

What are you looking for?
What are you looking for?
What are you looking for?
What are you looking for?

And just down from James Street
Where crowns and crooks alike do meet
I'll reach for hope I'm scared to find
I'll yearn for love from time gone by

And just down from James Street
My hymns are on a different sheet
But I'm wondering if you're the one who's
Singing them with me

What are you looking for?
What are you looking for?
What are you looking for?
What are you looking for?
