Arrivals & Departures (Bonus Track)

I wake up, I sit down, and I waste oxygen.
I waste chances, waste verbs, and waste my time.
And all I really wanna do is commit some crime with you…
So this won’t just become another wasted rhyme.

I’ll take my troubles to the beach, and waste my mind on you.
And even when you were next to me, it was too far away.
But I don’t know who you are yet, coz I’m still finding you…
And the search goes on and on, coz I didn’t that day.

I know I “only have to dream” to but it feels like I’m lying too,
And if the feeling’s not the same both ways, then there’s no part to play.
4000 miles are in the way but I’m willing and trying to,
I’m still dying to, crying for you to say you’ll stay.

And every time I’m stuck in the rain,
I’ll remember the time that I held your hand softly,
And you might remember my name - coz that’s all I am…
And every time I’m stuck in the rain,
I’ll remember the time that I held your hand softly,
And you might remember my name - coz that’s all I am…

So wake up, and look down, down deep inside of you…
There’s an answer to my question, but you run away.
If all you really wanna do is just waste a dime or two,
Then I guess I’ll take my time ‘til you’re willing to play.

And so I only have to dream that it’s you that I’m flying to,
And if the feeling’s not the same both ways, then there’s no place to stay.
4000 miles is just a day, there’ll be no more ‘replying to’,
I’d be lying there right next to you, hoping you’ll tell me it’s true,
Don’t colour this ending with blue like you did that day…

And every time I’m stuck in the rain,
I’ll remember the time that I held your hand softly,
And you might remember my name - coz that’s all I am…
And every time I’m stuck in the rain,
I’ll remember the time that I held your hand softly,
And you might remember my name - coz that’s all I am…
