it's hard to get around the wind

If you just get it together and read my mind

Then sleeping would be easy

And then i'll be there to acquiesce

I confess i'm in trouble

Another afternoon of increments

And asking the wrong questions

Then you get up and leave again

Just as the evening threatens to set

Consider this now it's not too late

I have watched you change

The colour of the trap

I have learned to wait

Most of the things that you say

I don't understand but i will sit and listen

I nod along attentively

But the truth is i cant concentrate

Consider this now it's not too late

I have watched you change

The colour of the trap

I have learned a way

Make no mistake

I have learned to wait

And learned you can make me

I need something to sort me out

I need someone to come and shake me

And your exit calms me down

Before it infuriates me

Girl i'm in trouble

Wish you'd just get it together and read my mind.

Hiding Tonight

Tomorrow I'll be quicker

I'll stare into the strobe light flicker

And afloat I'll stay

But I'm quite alright hiding today

Tomorrow I'll be faster

I'll catch what i've been chasing after

And have time to play

But I'm quite alright hiding today

And I will play the coconut shy

And win a prize even if it's rigged

I won't know when to stop

And you can leave off my lid, and i won't even lose my fizz

I'll be the polkadots type

I'll know the way back, if you know the way

But if you are, I am quite alright, hiding today

Tomorrow i'll be stronger, running colourful

No longer just in black and white

And i'm quite alright hiding tonight

And i will have a game on the coconut shy

And win a prize even if it's rigged

I won't know when to stop

And you can leave off my lid, and i won't even lose my fizz

I'll be the polkadots type

I'll probably swim through a few lagoons

I'll have a spring in my step

And i'll get there soon

To sing you a happy tune, tomorrow

And you better bring a change of clothes

So we can sail our laughing pianos along a beam of light

But I'm quite alright

Hiding tonight
