i'm feeling blind
like a salt in my eyes
theres something you need to know
im wasting time
fall behind, in my mind
cause im fighting and im losing war
tidy little fold lines cracking inside my soul

you cant look me in the eye
i dont do surprises
i got nothing at all
if you catch me i fall


signs, neon lights
like a thief in the night
who was woken with an open door
i'm serving time,
by myself, for a crime,
theres a reason i can't ignore
holding everything that i was ever looking for


you cant look me in the eye
i dont do surprises
i got nothing at all
if you catch me i fall

you cant look me in the eye
i dont do surprises
i got nothing at all
if you catch me i fall


look inside me, seems that i've been,
dont forget to pay your bill now,
(dudes is new who's forming )?
call my friends and tell them theres a party
the sun is coming up, my heart is falling
out and i am blinded,
no one has the ace of spades,
but if you play the game you'll find it,
i'm running and touching, sinking, thinking, hoping for another
we need to drink and vibe, and try not to hold back eachother


you cant look me in the eye
i dont do surprises
i got nothing at all
if you catch me i fall

    General Comment:Anyone know what he says at the end, in a whisper? is it "do you trust me" or "don't trust me" I can't figure it out XD

    But I adore this song. When I first heard it I truly thought it was Coldplay, particularly in the chorus!!

    General Comment:I thought it was Coldplay too. I think it's the way his voice goes when he says, "You cant look me in the eye".

    General Comment:Well no ones commented on it because its was only released a couple of days ago...

    When I first heard it, I thought it was Coldplay. Never thought much of him on video hits but he can sing that's for sure!

    Yeah I think its along the lines of showing it all and not being able to give her what they want and vice versa. Not getting each other - were only human.

    General Comment:i love this song, i cant believe more people havent commented it!

    i think its basically about that time in a relationship where youre both aware of the fact its not really working out and youre getting to the point where you realise its time to let go coz you have nothing left to offer.

    its nice to see that not all people that participate in aus idol end up releasing crappy pop songs with no underlying meaning other than the fact their words rhyme :]
