VERSE 1 Come and talk to me I wanna get to know you but I don't want to fall in love with you Grab a cup of coffee maybe get me something too? and I'll tell you all about me and you can tell me all about you CHORUS I want you to love me, but I don't wanna fall in love with you and I know your going to try and change my mind but I tell you it won't work that is no lie I want you to love me but I don't want to fall in love with you VERSE 2 You invite me back to your place to come and see your little flat "we can sit and watch a movie, or just hang around and chat" I've heard those cliches before and I can sense that you want more Well I guess I have to warn you After this, I need to close the door Chorus I want you to love me, but I don't wanna fall in love with you and I know your going to try and change my mind but it won't work that is no lie I want you to love me but I don't want to fall in love with you MIDDLE - 8 Please don't think I'm evil I just need you in my life Please don't leave me what we've got now is alright We don't need to take things further.... CHORUS and I know your going to try and change my mind but I tell you it won't work that is no lie I want you to love me but I don't want to fall in love with you

My Disguise 04:09
VERSE 1 Can you see it in my eyes? Can you sense my lies? I could see your demise When I removed my disguise BRIDGE I am sorry if I hurt you but can you help me out I just don't know what to do VERSE 2 I've never felt this way My fortress slowly decays and much to your dismay maybe it's best if you just stay away BRIDGE I don't want to drag you down but you gave me control You called my name You swore upon my name VERSE 3 I will give you a rose just, to see how it goes We can start a new I know now that all I really want is you BRIDGE No matter how much you may think other wise that is the truth don't believe all my lies VERSE 4 place a rose between my teeth make me feel complete don't let me hurt you again I don't want to speak of this again VERSE 5 place a rose between my teeth and make me feel complete can you sense my lies? I wish I could remove my disguise.

The Clocks 06:28
When do the clocks turn back? When do the clocks turn back? Oh when will the hands start to turn the way I want them to turn... Take me across to the island where the other people are Take me across to see where I'm told that I belong Take me Take me there I've imagined myself finally reaching this island for years I have nobody to live with, so I guess I'll have to move in with you They tell me I can't wait anymore, so this is how it has to go Sometimes I wish I could just turn the clock back... Just a bit further in time to where moving forward was never a concern Lets get inside your car and drive somewhere, but not too far away I talk about escape, but the truth is I don't want to leave this place Don't take me away Don't take this away from me

about

'Songs EP 1' is the first instalment of (what will become) a series of EPs.

It is a collection of three personal songs, performed with stripped back, acoustic arrangements. The idea was to record these songs in their most raw format, leaving them open to further interpretation.

The three songs featured on this EP are connected lyrically by themes of uncertainty, love and emotional confusion.

'My Disguise' was the first song to be released from this EP.
