Undergoing a messy split over money with his mentor, ross hoffman. it was

Originally titled "police" or "41 police."







Come and see

I swear by now i'm playing time

I against my troubles

I'm coming slow but speeding

Do you wish a dance and while i'm

In the front

The play on time is won

But the difficulty is coming here



I will go in this way

And find my own way out

I wont tell you to stay

But i'm coming to much more

Me

All at once the ghosts come back

Reeling in you now

What if they came down crushing

Remember when i used to play for

All of the loneliness that nobody

Notice now

I'm begging slow i'm coming here

Only waiting i wanted to stay

I wanted to play

I wanted to love you



I'm only this far

And only tomorrow leads my way



I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head

Please, i wouldn't pass this by

I would take any more than

What sort of man goes by

I will bring water

Why wont you ever be glad

It melts into wonder

I came in praying for you

Why wont you run

In the rain and play

Let the tears splash all over you
