Well are you all they say?  Wide eyed blue, I'm turning gray You came on out, made my day When I've gone too far In case you've forgotten I'm gonna let it, I wanna let it all show I tried a few times, I tried so you'd know You can't celebrate without your mistakes I'm fading that's all. I'm fading so slow, with the sun in my lungs My baby you'll be, my always, one and only So glad you're missing. And I've gone missing So glad we're missing across the sea So I'll tell you what then, when you're needing See how we made something out of this need. See it grow I'm fading that's all. I'm fading so slow, with the sun in my lungs My baby you'll be, my always, one and only When I've gone too far

Albatross 04:14
Keep it up, don't stop for me Hold it up so I can see You're alright with me Came away from this, all of this had to be Came away, but I've been stalking you for too long What are you here for Cus I've been here before Now that you're social Baby, less is more Keep it up, don't stop for me Came away so I can see but  I'm not waiting, carry on What are you here for Cus I've been here before Now that you're social Baby, less is more Haven't stopped Wandered off

High Heaven 04:01
You know I'm not telling you anything at all This is how I listen when my ears are too full I heard you went missing from your body in your sleep Well I hope to high heaven life is but a dream Now I'm waiting in England, with this damp dark beer Since the last time I saw you, you've disappeared.

Last One 04:34
Take me back to Mt. Everest Had a dream that I never left you in thin air - or anywhere Take me back to Mt. Everest Did you make it higher than I did?  Waiting on the last one, holding on too long You're waiting on the last one, but everyone is gone Then we wandered off from the rest And the wind picked up like the cough in my chest Nobody noticed And the snow settled in, and the empty bottles of oxygen You're breath's not where it should have been Waiting on the last one, holding on too long You're waiting on the last one, but everyone is gone Oh my future darlin', don't make sense of it Go get another one, darlin' Don't make sense, don't hold out Go get another one
