Breathe - James Blunt

Take this bloody war of mine away
I'm lost for words to say
Will they greet me at dawn
Take these muddy thoughts that are my walls
I'm not ready for the call
That will greet me at dawn

I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what I don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe, for me
I am tired of my own

Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company
And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
And I thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me
Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

Race me to the horror at the end
I've lost myself again
In the mirror of my past
Let me, let me scratch at my own skin
I'm dying to get in
To the mirror of my past

I just take what someone wants
Race when I'm in front
Break what I don't need
It's nice to watch somebody breathe, for me
I am tired of my own

Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company
And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
And I'll thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me

Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own
And won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

Well now come sit next to me
I'm not sleeping with a bride to be
Been wasting time like it just doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company
And I sat here for eternity
No Wife and no family
And I'll thank you very much
And I'm flattered by the touch
When you say that you're in love with me
And I sat here for eternity
No wife and no family
Been wasting time like it just
Doesn't matter very much
So I'm happy for the company
Won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own
And won't you breathe for me
I am tired of my own

Same Mistake - James Blunt

So while I'm turning in my sheets
And once again, I cannot sleep
Walk out the door and up the street
Look at the stars beneath my feet
Remember rights that I did wrong
So here I go

Hello, hello

There is no place I cannot go
My mind is muddy but
My heart is heavy, does it show?
I lose the track that loses me
So here I go

Ooh...

And so I sent some men to fight,
And one came back at dead of night,
Said he'd seen my enemy
Said he looked just like me
So I set out to cut myself
And here I go

Ooh...

I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice,
Give me reason, but don’t give me choice,
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again,

Ooh...

And maybe someday we will meet
And maybe talk and not just speak
Don't buy the promises 'cause
There are no promises I keep,
And my reflection troubles me
So here I go

Ooh...

I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice,
Give me reason, but don't give me choice,
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again
Ooh...

Ooh...
So while I'm turning in my sheets
Ooh...
And once again, I cannot sleep
Ooh...
Walk out the door and up the street
Ooh...
Look at the stars
Ooh...
Look at the stars, falling down,
And I wonder where, did I go wrong?

Song For The Road - David Ford

Well the day cast down
Lengthy shadows on unfamiliar towns
I drove 300 miles from the place I call home
And I tip my hat to the angel of the north

And the sun, it set fire to the heavens
On the hills over Sheffield tonight
As I sail over this countryside with new friends and old
I know we're nowhere, but man we're alright

So you can keep your belief in whatever
I wear my cynicism like a tattoo
And while poets try to engineer definitions of love
You know all I can think of is you

And I can't wait to see you on Sunday
Far from the traffic and the smoke and the noise
For this evening I will play back every message that you sent
And I will sleep to the sound of your voice

Now I don't like these words like 'forever'
But I will love you till the end of today
And in the morning when I remember everything that you are
I know I'll fall for you over again

I know someday this all will be over
And it's hard to say what most will I miss
Just give me one way to spend my last moments alive
And I choose this, I choose this, I choose this
I choose this, I choose this, I choose this
I choose this, I choose this
I choose this.

david ford, lyrics, james blunt
