1.	Birds Fly Over Me (live and acoustic) 05:06	lyrics	buy track
Birds fly over me Take me to the place where you are waiting patiently Gratefully I know that you’ll see Birds fly over me Helps you to believe in me with no naivety And how bizarre we know we are From my perch An aspect of the world below So to my search The player of a cameo And then she glides beside Descending to a dive Birds fly over me Take me to the place where you are waiting patiently Gratefully I know that you’ll see Birds fly over me Helps you to believe in me with no naivety And how bizarre we know we are Migrate again Formation change; my hollow bones I lose a friend I’m going where the wind will blow And in the lift and drag There isn’t good or bad Birds fly over me Take me to the place where you are waiting patiently Gratefully I know that you’ll see Birds fly over me Helps you to believe in me with no naivety And how bizarre we know we are But when the birds have flown You won’t be on your own Won’t be lonely any longer When the birds have flown You won’t be on your own With something you won’t squander When the birds have flown You won’t be on your own Won’t be lonely any longer When the birds have flown You won’t be on your own With something you won’t squander Birds fly over me Take me to the place where you are waiting patiently Gratefully I know that you’ll see Birds fly over me Helps you to believe in me with no naivety And how bizarre we know we are Birds fly over me Take me to the place where you are waiting patiently Where I see you and you see me
2.	Simple Things (live and acoustic) 04:52	lyrics	buy track
Look deep in your eyes Inhale all your sighs I won’t watch the clock I’ll stay by your side It’s the simple things Those little things It’s the simple things Those little things Don’t swallow your words Make sure that you’re heard The censor won’t strike Your truth will emerge It’s the simple things Those little things It’s the simple things Those little things I believe your heart’s on your sleeve See it beat See it swell You can see Mine as well I believe your heart’s on your sleeve See it beat See it swell You can see Mine as well Hold tight on my hand And cover these lands Lie in the grass And we’’ll understand It’s simple things Those little things It’s simple things Those little things I believe your heart’s on your sleeve See it beat See it swell You can see Mine as well I believe your heart’s on your sleeve See it beat See it swell You can see Mine as well Lichen grows over the soul Seasons change followed by clothes You don’t have to run You’ve barely begun You’ve tried it before But not with this one I believe your heart’s on your sleeve See it beat See it swell You can see Mine as well I believe your heart’s on your sleeve See it beat See it swell
3.	Nightmare Fuel (live and acoustic) 05:21	lyrics	buy track
Fade to me at seventeen My tongue was sharp but the rest of me was green Finally confident enough The rug was pulled and the fall was double rough Cut six years to twenty three A waste of time at my universities Never considering anyone A one-track mind on a path to get things done I’ve been soaking up this Nightmare Fuel All these things I do And my secrets stalk in slow pursuit Give me Nightmare Fuel Montage; ten years ground to dust I don’t believe you can simply paint the rust Mission: change all of your traits It might be easier if you’ve shed all of your mates You’ve been dreaming things for me to do Just more Nightmare Fuel When you’re leaving; my brain plays self-review Just more Nightmare Fuel You’ve been feeding me this Nightmare Fuel Give me Nightmare Fuel Fuel Fuel
