Lovers & Dreamers And when you've seen me, come and find me I'm not that far away you know... In the inside of your heart I hoped that I might find Something you had left in there Or someone had left behind A place there stuck in the morning Where they cover it up with lies Seeing someones only warning Helps to hint or criticize And they know it gets you underwater But it takes so long I tried hard but I never saw reason The only thing I ever got was high out of reach And made from pastry in the sky If it's real I never saw it Let my senses lead me on so long Taking sides with few The shots ring out but they're never gonna keep it away from you You let them know The time speeds past but it's never gonna stop The Lovers and the Dreamers keeping time while they devise A solution to the problem Of the Earth and their demise And overall it seems the war has just begun to realize The inevitable reasons that the lovers and the dreamers have to die

EARTH 04:10
Earth Having met you I never thought I'd see or feel the way I do when I'm around you You're so fine Oh you made me lose my mind And my heart's on fire forever now I've met you Though I've only known the ways I do about you For such a short old time Every second stays with me alive here Behind these eyes I'd like to talk with you and find out all your hopes and dreams and fears And if you need someone to help you through the years I'd like to try But when you need to leave My smile will hide the tears Darling I could look at you for years Seeing reason I knew what I should do But being me just got the better of me Having always been the kind to be slack minded When the things that mattered happened to be near me If I don't start breathing now I know I'll never breathe at all Every second step up the mountainside Served only for a fall And I'll stay with you until my eyes can't see And if you need to be somewhere that's just far away from me i won't ask why But when you need to leave My smile will hide the tears Darling I could look at you for years

Three Times A Day Three times a day I only think about that girl three times a day First thing when I wake up When I close my eyes to sleep The only other time's when I'm awake I only think about that girl three times a day It was real and the kisses that I gave to her Were real upon her cheeks And I held her shoulders in my arms and I knew never to speak And I bit my tongue one hundred times in the hopes that I might stay Now I only ever think about her about three times a day It was real and the kisses that I gave to her Were real upon her cheeks And I wanted to see her everyday Instead I barely saw her once a week Now I don't see her no more at all There aint nothing I can do or say But man I still think about that girl About three times a day Three times a day

Listen To Lies You listen to lies I caught up with you every single day you were inside Making sure that everything outside was gonna be alright For when you decide to let your spirit be your guide And spread your wings and fly You listen to lies And they told you as a child you could achieve All you believe you need in this life If you just try hard enough You'll get just what you earned and so you tried And they were right You're left with all the pieces of the life you think you needed Floating by Your lack of diligence means you must have let it slide You listen to lies
6.
Being Called Out Any useless information I thought that I could find That would make the thought of this real in your mind Fell away by the wayside when I heard the words And saw just what you said Projected there out of your mind What you're about Now you're being called out The problems only started when you opened up your mouth I could see the other side They were looking with both eyes And not believing what they're seeing Blinded by the gift of sight Overwhelmed and out of life They were scrambled up inside And filled with doubt about the causes they were about You're being called out The problems only started when you opened up your mouth But you care just what they say... You care just what they're talking about The problems started when you decided to open up your mouth You called out

JUST SAY HI 02:04
Just Say Hi Saw you walking round on the ground just the other day Could have just smiled in stride or tried to look away Instead I said "It's nice to see you, you're looking fine" When all I ever really want to do is only just say "Hi" But it's always good to see you And I hope you're well and your world is doing fine But the best that I can ever do is really just say hi Looking down on the ground like there's an earthquake You seem like you're sleepwalking in an awake state It's so strange to see you around all the time While you're otherwise engaged in a page in the book of your mind But I never see you singing like you used to And your eyes are not the same People say they change anyway Then we do it all over again it's no-one's place to try to tell you how to live your life So we just look away or instead we just say hi Just say hi

Wicked High World A new day is dawning for me And for you there over the sea The places where you'd want to be are not here for you now And it's a strange old feeling to be lost in the pines Of a life you never knew but thought you'd left behind So long ago But it never really left you and crept up from behind But I guess that's just the way these stories go I was dreaming about a hurricane That swept all through a city made inside of your brain And I was wondering how all the services got in that day And it was just so very awful I had to turn my eyes away and face the side of life That told me all the horrors I'd seen that day Would be forever coming back again But it's always the same and then you're gone And it's the reason people make the biggest mistakes To try to swim beloved in a sea full of fakes In harmful places that only take the Best of what you are All the same, it's us and here we are It's on the backs of the leaves It's in the birds that we see But rising up over the trees It's a wicked high world In this wicked high world You should always be sure of someone else's heart Before you go and break your own.

about

One sunny afternoon Will, Stu and Glen went into Frisbee studios on Karangahape Rd in Auckland, New Zealand and recorded the eight tracks that make up 'This Is The Life', with vocals then tracked by Ed Castelow at Mezzanine.

These songs detail the ever-shifting relationship between human understanding and the random nature of the universe in the brief period of time we call 'Life'.
