Will Young Album

(S Stills)

If you're down and confused
And you don't remember who you're talking to
Concentration slips away
Cos your baby is so far away

Chorus
And there's a rose in a fisted glove
And the eagle flies with the dove
And if you can't be with the one you love honey
Love the one you're with

Don't be angry, don't be sad
Don't sit crying over good times you had
There's a girl right next to you
And she's just waiting for something to do

Repeat Chorus

Turn your heartache right into joy
She's a girl and you're a boy
So get it together make it nice
And you won't need anymore advice

(W Young/B MacKichan/T Onile-Ere)

I see you floating it constantly
You're making me feel like you and I could be real
But then you're flipping the game
You walk away and turn your back baby
Stop treading on me baby
Cos I'm mystified
And you know I've tried
I just can't get through to you

Chorus
What you gonna do
I don't know
What you gonna say
I ain't sure
Always the same
All the time
Every day
Played my mind
I can't keep wasting my time on your game

Ain't no doubt about it x4

I've taken all that I can
I've given to you my all
But you don't seem to respond baby
Oh I can't stand all this waiting
Cos I can't stand all this waiting
Cos my patience is fading
Pretty soon I'll be gone

Let's rectify it
You can't deny it
The way that you feel for me
Tell me

Repeat Chorus

I can't keep wasting my time on your game

No more, no more
No more wasted time
Playing your game
I've seen this all before
Time and time, no way

Cos I'm mystified
You know that I've tried
I just can't get through to you

Repeat Chorus x2

I can't keep wasting my time on your game

No more, no more
No more wasted time
Playing your game
I've seen this all before
Time

(S Lipson/ K Poole)

Life
Has a funny way of trying to make
You a certain type
And making it hard
Yeah life
Is feet firmly on the ground
With a fear of flying
It's always too far
Chorus 1
It only makes me stronger
When you say I can't do it
I'll work that bit harder
When you say it's not within my grip
The barriers, I'll break them down
I'll prove myself, I'll stick around
I'll get through it all somehow
Nothing's unreachable

Life
Is full of all these empty words
In perfect rhyme
When they don't make no sense
Resigned
To all of these doubts and nerves
You want first place
But you take second best

Chorus 2
It only makes me stronger
When you say I won't succeed
I'll work that bit harder
When you say you see no strength in time
The barriers, I'll break them down
I'll prove myself, I'll stick around
I'll get through it all somehow
Nothing's unreachable

Oh it's just a state of mind
If you set yourself up to fall
You'll never get there at all
All you've got to do is rise
It takes more to break me than a wave or two
Whatever's sent to test me
Gonna make it through

Repeat Chorus 1

Don't hide
Don't cover up what fuels you
Deep inside
It carries you on
Go find
That dream you dreamt about
Each and every night
Before it's gone

Cos you don't understand how I feel
You don't understand this is real
It's life

Yeah it's life

Verse 1
I'm here just like I said
Though its breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart is just the same
Why make it strong to break it once again?
And I'd love to say I do
Give everything to you
But I can never now be true
So I say...

Chorus
I think I'd better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now

Verse 2
I'm here so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful
Perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs, at least I'm spared the lows
Bridge
Now I tremble in your arms
What could be the harm
To feel my spirit calm
So I say..

Repeat Chorus

Middle 8
I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say your right on track
But you may never know why
Once bitten twice is shy
If I'm proud perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bear to lose you again

Repeat Chorus

Yes I will...

Repeat Chorus

(T Christensen)

Love is a matter of difference
Between you and me
Love is a matter of distance
That you are too far away
Love is a matter of growing
And knowing true feelings
Love is a matter of showing
That you are too far away

Chorus 1
When my heart is open
My mind is opening to find
I can't let you stay
The love is a matter of distance
You are too far away

Love is a matter of input
Outlook, deep inside
Love is to know you're on my side
That you are so far away

Chorus 2
When my heart is open
My mind is opening to find
I can't let you stay
The love is a matter of distance
You are too far away

Chorus 3
When my heart is open
My mind is opening to find
I can't let you stay
The love is a matter of distance
But you are too far away

If love is a matter of distance

(W Young/ T Smith/ C Dodd)

People get the wrong impression
I wonder if they change their minds
It's an understated sign
Tell me how you see me again
Now we're swinging to the time
It's a meeting of the minds
It's all unbelievable
Look to play it how we say it
If you're meaning to delay it
Hang on
Cos we're moving all around

Chorus
It's up when the party's over
And we want to free our minds
Now I'm telling you there's no hurry
Cos we're choosing to groove
It's so cool to dance the night way

I choose to live a good life
Have a good time and enjoy the ride
Turn it up, break it down, move on
High times took a good turn
Spinning it around cos you gotta learn
To rectify, justify this song

Now we're swinging to the time
It's a meeting of the minds
It's all unbelievable
Look to play it how we say it
If you're meaning to delay it
Hang on
Cos we're moving all around

(W Young/ R Thicke/ J Gass)

You run, you run
But this ain't living
You wish you could go back
And begin it all over
But it's over
You fight, you fight
You just keep saying
You'll feel better come sooner or later
In no time
It's been a long time

You still got made to turn it
You still got made to lift you up

Chorus
You got wings
But you can't fly
You got so much pain inside
You're very kind
In your dreams you're so high
But you don't live that in your life
You're very kind
You're so kind

You do, you do
You love me baby
I can't fight when you leave me lazy
With your doubts, your doubts

You try and you try
And there's no winner
You give, give more
But it just gets harder
In your mind
We all try

You still got time to turn it
You still got made to lift you up

Repeat Chorus

You believe you're not good enough
It fills your mind
Plays
It's in the way of you and I
I'd say a thousand times
I know you're one of a kind
You're so kind

Repeat Chorus x2

(W Young/ M Prime/ B Withers/ S McKenny)

Don't you see how I fight it
Trying to hide from a life of real pain
Maybe time has allowed it
Feeling the feel when I'm hearing your name
Cos you decide how I survive
Do you realise inside oh
Just how much it's killing me

Chorus
I'm just caught in the middle of you
Play my heart with a little bit of
Dangerous love
And I really want to be free
Got me caught and I'm living in a low life world
It's your unoriginality that's killing me
I've just got to be free

Now tell me what you want from me
Again and again you pretend it's alright
I'm feeling now that I can breathe
Can't comprehend how you can't recognise

Cos time can't change the way I feel
And you will find that I'm gonna be
More than you'll ever let me be

Repeat Chorus

Free to disown you
Cos I thought that I told you
You been treating me badly
And you misappreciate my love
I'm trying to breathe
But it's killing me slowly
And you started to break me
With your dangerous love

Got to
Got to be fee (repeat x4)

(W Young/ E White)

In time gone by, I lost my will
To try and find a clear way through
Now, it's been a while
Since I asked myself what to do
It's been a while since I played the fool
Cos they said "raise your game, leave the shame
in this place where you will remain
unless you save your soul"
Chorus
Now it's going my way
Forget the time that I did then
Now it's going my way
I look and everything's OK
I've got nothing much to say except
The life that I now lead
Is going my way
Going my way

It's been a while since I spent the day
The whole day wrapped up in my dreams
It took a while upstaging misery
It isn't all it seems
Now I smooth my hair, feeling tight
I'm getting into something right
Living beyond those days

Repeat Chorus

I don't understand how it came to
(How it came to)
I don't understand those depths of despair
(Those despairs)
I don't understand how it came to
(How it came to)
I don't understand reaching that despair
(Reaching that despair)

Repeat Chorus x2

Cos I've settles my mind

(W Young/ E White)

All you have to do is think about it (x4)
Baby...you drive me crazy all the time
When you play me
I'm burning with the lies that you feed me
Chasing my despair
I can see you smiling till I'm over the edge

Do yourself a favour
Realise you win every game
Cos it's plain to see that I'm a mouse of a man

Chorus
Yeah get me out of my mind
I don't feel so good
Breaking down the walls
While I'm falling apart
Get me out of my mind
I don't feel so good

Try to understand

Lately
You reply with your lies that I'm failing
You leave me high and dry
Over over over
You trip me around

I tell you baby
Do yourself a favour
Realise you win every game
Cos it's plain to see that I'm a mouse of a man
Yeah you made a mouse of a man

Repeat Chorus

Try to understand that I'm losing my heart

Repeat Chorus

Try to think about it
Let's think about it

All you ever do is think about it (x2)

Breaking it to you (x6)

Cos you've got to
Get me out of my mind
Breaking down the walls
I'm falling apart
Get me out of my mind
Try to understand that I'm losing my heart

Try to understand

(S Lee/ D Taylor)

We've been told to live our lives
Just working on a feeling
Waiting for the sun on what
We do believe in
I'm every man
I hear the cry of someone else
A drowning man reaching out
But no-one hears
I know a man living out his life
Without a reason
And he says...

Chorus
Monday's got a beautiful baby
And Wednesday's child can never win
Little Saturday will work till he's crazy
But Friday's child was born to give

Now what about all the unborn people that will suffer
At the hands of Mr. Right
Who cares about no other
I see a mother who lets her children use her up
I know a father who sacrifices his wayward son
I wonder
What you give that someone else is needing nothing
Next to nothing
