i must be somewhere (2017)

SHAPE & LINE (L.Sinclair)

Never made sense to be your friend 

I never had a problem with letting this end 

Cheap shots come too easy the love too slow 

A weight this heavy ain’t hard to release 

Don’t mind paying when the prices are cheap 

Shots come too easy and the love too slow 

 

And I never had a problem with letting you go 

 

These hands on the wheel don’t look like mine 

Seen ‘em before familiar shape and line 

But they ain’t gonna do the damage you done 

There’s wolves in the woods when the sheep get together 

Hounds in your head but now I got your measure 

Nothing in the distance I don’t already know 

 

You’re only ever angry or down 

You’re never easy to be around 

Been too long out in the weather 

We’ve been trying to fix this forever and ever 

 

Time ain’t no healer and I ain’t no fool 

Ain’t gonna carry your cross or keep my cool 

We both know which way this wind’s gonna blow 

I never had a problem with letting you go

 

 

EVERY NIGHT (Nick O'Mara)

Velvet lips speaking truth in the face of liars 

Fingertips, trace my name in the sand tonight 

Sinking ships, setting all that you love on fire 

This is this, to the heavens I turned and I cried 

And every night, through the darkness and the light, 

We say our goodbyes 

 

Poison gifts, given by the weak to the kind 

Timid souls, scratching there mark in the wild 

Love is bold, like a child pure as the night 

And the cold truth, always gets found by the light 

And every night, through the darkness and the light, 

We say our goodbyes 

 

And every night, through the darkness and the light, 

We say our goodbyes 

 

Silver shines in the corner of my blue eyes, 

Punching blind into power and all of it's lies, 

To the stupid and cruel, the greedy the fools 

Say goodbye tonight 

To the golden and true, the light's there for you 

Turn your face to the sky 

 

And every night, through the darkness and the light, 

We say our goodbyes

 

 

I MUST BE SOMEWHERE (L.Sinclair)

Up here with the moon 

There’s so much room 

I can feel you 

I know that I can’t stay 

But I’m up here anyway 

Where I can feel you 

 

Down there with the dust 

And all that’s made to rust 

I never found you 

So I’m moving through the night 

Like a broken satellite 

 

Just looking for you 

 

It’s all amazing grace 

Up here between the space 

No one can hear you 

There’s no air to carry sound 

Like down there on the ground 

Where no one hears you 

 

I’m making like a ghost 

As I orbit up the coast 

But I don’t see you 

All the lakes have turned to ice 

I miss you in my life 

I’m looking for you 

 

Always be looking for you 

 

Wish I was where you are 

But I ain’t no shooting star 

I’ll never find you 

Looking down upon the blue 

It’s strange what people do 

I’m looking for you 

 

Always be looking for you

 

NOWHERE (YOU WANNA RUN) (N.O'Mara)

You were standing in the back of the line 

Empty pockets and no peace of mind 

You drew the shortest straw they had 

Thanked them for their trouble tipped your hat, yeah, you took it real bad 

 

Now there's nowhere, nowhere that you wanna run 

Now you've come undone 

 

She decided that you were the one, 

You decided you were tired, and you'd had your fun 

Now you see that fire burning down 

And there's no use in crying cos you're never gonna leave this town 

 

Now there's nowhere, nowhere that you wanna run 

Now you've come undone 

 

You were standing in the back of the line 

Empty pockets and no peace of mind 

You never started, never tempted fate 

And all that you learned is there's nothing worse than too late 

 

Now there's nowhere, nowhere that you wanna run 

Now you've come undone

 

 

HEARTBREAKER (L.Sinclair)

You never broke my heart 

You know I always thought you would 

I was always looking out for it 

You were always looking good 

And you never broke my heart 

 

I was always wasting time 

All the time on my hands 

I was busy making waves for us 

While you were busy making plans 

 

And I missed all the signs 

Sleeping in the back seat like a fool 

You can’t fix a broken wheel, honey 

If you aint got the right tools 

 

It aint no way to love you 

Like I’m hooked on the fall 

I keep on pretending 

That I can’t love no one at all 

 

I was always taking shots at you 

Honey, more than you could stand 

I was shooting for the heart 

But you were only shooting cans 

 

And I missed all the signs 

Sleeping in the back seat like a fool 

Tried to keep it on the rails 

But I never really had the tools 

 

It aint no way to love you 

Like I’m hooked on the fall 

I keep on pretending 

That I can’t love no one at all 

 

Photos in a biscuit tin 

Boots underneath the bed 

Somewhere out there on the wind 

Is everything I should’ve said 

 

And you never broke my heart

 

NIGHT WHEELS (L.Sinclair)

Standing on the outside 

Trying to make it right 

Grew up kickin’ at the front fence 

And lyin’ awake at night 

 

I always had a notion 

Someday I could get to you 

My heart held an ocean 

For the island i was swimming to 

 

It’ll be the death of me 

 

When I found you 

It was beautiful like a song 

Something bigger than love came down 

I never knew that it could be so strong 

 

So I'm standing on the outside 

It all could’ve been so good 

It’s strange it’s so hard to change 

You know I did everything i could 

 

Gonna drive this car like it’s stolen 

Out into the dusty golden 

Drive into the great wide open 

Forget the way it feels 

Let the night fall under my wheels 

 

It’ll be the death of me

 

EVERYDAY, EVERYDAY (L.Sinclair)

You set your teeth like steel 

Inside you are a spinning wheel 

It wears you down 

You know the lines you know the tricks 

Hold it together but nothing sticks 

It can wear you down 

 

Follow the heart and not the head 

Pretty sure that’s what they said 

It can wear you down 

Know the truth know how to lie 

Get sad and then you get wise 

It can wear you down 

 

And you might find me out here if you choose to look 

But you’ll never take me back or know how much you took 

Everyday, 

Everyday 

 

No need to leave a lamp light on 

No looking back from where i’ve gone 

I won’t be coming round 

There was nothing here to leave behind 

I’ll keep a diamond in my mind 

You’ll never wear me down 

 

You might find me out here if you choose to look 

But you’ll never take me back or know how much you took 

Everyday, 

Everyday

 

DREAMER (L.Sinclair)

Walking on the rails they were shining in the rain 

Trying not to break my teeth calling out your name 

Dreaming of an end to all the things we gotta do 

Dreaming of a life somewhere outside of me and you 

 

Time it is a stealer 

Can’t remember how it felt 

Only a fool would shoot the dealer 

Before the cards were even dealt 

 

Tired of the talk and tired of the game 

Rounding up the horses running loose inside my brain 

Sent a message in a bottle but the bottle wouldn’t float 

There was nothing I could do to fix the holes beneath the boat 

 

Time it is a stealer 

Can’t remember how it felt 

I’m just a fool who shot the dealer 

Before the cards were even dealt 

 

So I balance on the rails 

In the back streets of my mind 

Fall in and out of place 

I shake all down the line 

Buckle under my own weight 

And recover in my own time 

 

Rattling the cages howling at the moon 

Always something I was trying to say and you hanging up too soon 

A piece of information somewhere loose upon the wind 

Everything I had to give before our love was thinned 

 

Time it is a stealer 

Can’t remember how it felt 

Only a fool would shoot the dealer 

Before the cards were even dealt

 

GOLD RUSH BLUES (N.O'Mara)

A handshake deal by a roulette wheel and a crooked smile 

Between you and me and the deep blue sea 

They sold us out by the mile 

It's the last, the last deal gone through 

Leave's you and me with the gold rush blues 

 

A back room scheme, bought sight unseen, selling hope for time 

weigh the hours, weigh the cost 

By the horizon line 

Chasing silver, curse the air, they push on through 

There's you and me with the gold rush blues 

There's you and me with the gold rush blues 

 

A paper trail, ghost town fire sale, a needles eye 

Count their money, pockets full, while you count their lies 

Slight of hand, vanished, leave no clues 

Just you and me with the gold rush blues 

Just you and me with the gold rush blues 

There's you and me with the gold rush blues

 

BY NOW (L.Sinclair)

No sleep tonight 

I’m lost in the light 

The words rattle under my brow 

May be too far gone 

To change what I did wrong 

Thought I could’ve done that by now 

 

I had a dream 

I was chasing like a dog 

It was shining like a leaf on a wet bow 

I was gonna shake it 

We were gonna make it 

Thought i could’ve done that by now 

 

Show me the escape 

How to cut the tape 

I don’t know if I can make it out 

It’s on my chest 

You always knew me best 

I should probably know myself by now 

 

Something’s got to break 

How long can I stay awake 

The weed ain’t working now 

These things can rule your life 

If you don’t make them right 

But right could never do somehow 

 

Show me the escape 

How to cut the tape 

I don’t know if I can make it out 

It’s on my chest 

You always knew me best 

I should probably know myself by now 

 

So I’m sitting tight 

Outside your house tonight 

The words rattle under my brow 

Trying to find a line 

Back to where you were mine 

Thought I could’ve done that by now
