I often miss the signals Straight over my head I’d turned off those senses In coming back to myself Ohhhh I tried to shake it On the top of a Spanish hill But one thing I know I’m certain of is Friends don’t touch like lovers do They sure don’t fall in love You, you can have all of me When I can all of you When we met you and I agreed Our connection undeniably Real and the time we spent together Deeper than chemistry I’ve learnt that life is for living and I wanted to jump on in Cause one thing I know I’m certain of is Don’t try to tell me otherwise I’m not, oh I’m not, no I’m not naive It’s your loss as well as mine I’m not, oh I’m not, no I’m not naive I’m not, oh I’m not, no I’m not naive Cause friends don’t touch each other’s souls like lovers do They sure don’t fall in love You, you don't get all of me Without all of you Without all of you

I don’t remember The last time The last time I was held Before we were locked up Indefinitely I didn’t make it easy at all When I get out When I am free I’m gonna throw off my worry Find you and Never let you go Never, never, never, never, never (never let) never let you go I remember How, how it feels How it felt to be in love Cuarentena Understandably Has left a longing I can’t ignore I’m gonna throw off these worries and Never let you go Throw it to the wind Never let you go When I get out When I’m free I’m gonna throw off my worry Find you and Never let you go (never let) I’m gonna throw off my worry Find you and Never let you (never let) I’m gonna throw off my worry Find you and Never let you go

I’m tired of being Tired of being On my own Got me missing Got me missing Your touch Try to be strong How long, how long Try to be strong How long, how long Thief in the night keep me disconnected (Thief in the night) You try to fight when I least expect it (Thief in the night) I’m watching the dawn You know I’ve moved on Daydreamin’ blue I’d rather be on my own than lonely with you Try to be strong How long, how long Try to be strong How long, how long Thief in the night keeps me disconnected (Thief in the night) You try to fight when I least expect it (Thief in the night) I’d rather be on my own than lonely with you I’d rather be on my own than lonely with you I’d rather be on my own than lonely with you I’d rather be on my own than lonely with you

Midnight moon over the city Winter skies seem never-ending Breath in the night air You brush against me Your hand warm near mine For you I’d do Just about anything For you I would have done Just about anything Dim lights flicker in a black room These nights with you seem ever-lasting I lower my voice to a whisper You move closer to hear what I’m saying For you I’d do Just about anything For you I would have done Just about anything Ooo, I would have done Just about anything For you I would have done Just about anything Oooo, just about Oooo, just about Midnight Moon

I have walked This road alone For longer Than I can fathom I’ve been searching for more I kick up the dust With these well worn boots My body aches This pack a dead weight I’ve been searching for more My mind is free From worry from stress My legs they keep on moving Despite their distress I’ve been searching, searching for more, for more, for more (for more) I’ve been searching for more I wasn’t born Shackled and bound To live life and not feel alive I’ll keep searching for more (for more) I’ll keep on searching, searching, searching (for more) I’ll keep searching for more

Took a flight to Portugal On valentines As a love letter To myself To myself Oooooo At first light Quiet towns and empty back roads No other soul Bar the eucalyptus trees And the rumours of wild dogs Twice this year I saw the wattle bloom The first on the other side of the world It wasn’t clear I’d make it home in truth Sure, I was scared but I did it anyway On a dirt road There’s a car full of men Watching me close Just like the night back in Brisbane When I was robbed I’m not gonna let you hold me back (not gonna let you hold me back) I’m not gonna let you hold me back (not gonna let you hold me back) I’m not gonna let you hold me back Twice this year I saw the wattle bloom Once on the other side of the world It wasn’t clear I’d make it home in truth Sure, I was scared but I did it anyway Twice this year I saw the wattle bloom First on the other side of the world It wasn’t clear I’d make it home Sure, I was scared but I did it anyway Took a flight to Portugal

Winter my fingers so cold Playing guitar seems a chore Wish I had a fire to sit by Wish I had a fire to burn They say Water dances into snow Not that I’d know, still Wish I had a fire to sit by Wish I had a blaze to burn My dear this will pass There’s no light without shade No joy without pain My dear this will pass There’s no light without shade No joy without pain Summer, sweet summer, isn’t lonely at all The sun warms the way a lover would When I’ve got a beach to lay on When I’ve got a beach to keep me warm My dear this will pass There’s no light without shade No joy without pain My dear this will pass There’s no light without shade No joy without pain

It’s been an age Since I’ve seen you I’d like to run away And be free I want to feel the wind kiss my face From high on a mountain ridge And be free I’m going to take each day at a time Cause I’m too far away from you I’m going to take each day at a time Cause I’m too far away I close my eyes and retrace My walking highs To feel free I’m going to take each day at a time Cause I’m too far away from you I’m going to take each day at a time Cause I’m too far away from family I’m going to take each day at a time Cause I’m too far away from you

I know I was unkind when I read your quote You said “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone” And I called “hypocrite” and shook my head You’ve gone from the comfort of your car, to work and home again You were locked down before lockdown And I know it’s your choice But does it feel like you’re living cause with me you weren’t prepared to take a risk at all No matter how small Ooo come on dance Right on in, in Into the middle Into the eye of it all You’re right on the edge I know you won’t fall You’ve been waiting so long To come undone You asked me once “do you think I’m spontaneous?” I said “not really, spontaneity, to me doesn’t live in between the tiny gaps of your diary you see” And I’m not sure what you were like before me But I know I could have shown you How to live life with a little freedom, how to take a risk No matter how big, no matter how small Ooo come on dance Right on in, in Into the middle Into the eye of it all You’re right on the edge I know you won’t fall You’ve been waiting so long To come undone You’ve been waiting so long (waiting, waiting) To come undone (undone) I know I was unkind but it’s no longer my place to mention

Gold (Live) 04:18
I catch gold flickers in the corner Through the black of my eyelash A reminder of the power I hold I was born from the ashes From the dust my body bold I lost breath cursing to myself Through the mist and over mountains A reminder of the power I hold I was born from the ashes From the dust my body bold I was born within these tracks From my strength my body strong I found fear lurking deep Through the dark I stared it down A reminder of the power I hold I was born from the ashes from the dust my body bold I was born from the ashes from the dust my body strong I was born from the ashes from the dust my body bold I was born from the ashes from the dust my body strong Ooooooooo Ooooooooo
