lyrics

people pray, for miracles,
while they're crouched down on the floor
against a dimly lit pew
of their church corridor

everybody's waiting for something to happen
and i guess that was me,
yeah i guess i was a sheep
counting down the hours, of every week

oh i hope this helps

waiting for the rain, i'm waiting for a change
well i had it all upside down
yeah it was inside out, it was turned around

but i feel like i've had an ephiphany
like this whole fucking time, well i just could not see
yeah life's like a lottery,
i'm out of cash, and i've never really been that lucky

'you make your own luck' she whispered to me
'every new day, is a brand new
opportunity, and it's free.

what the hell are you waiting for,
you gotta get out there, you gotta win your war,
nothing's gonna happen in this dead beat space,
and you ain't gonna find it if you stay in this one place'

oh i hope this helps

well she didn't speak no more
no she just kissed my cheek
and then walked right on out the door,
i knew i wouldn't see her again.

well she's the only thing,
that's been on my mind
for any considerable length of time
and it doesn't matter what i do
it just can't change the way i feel about you

oh i hope this helps

the best advice comes from repeat offenders,
and the worst mistakes come from all night benders
and things they get fucked up,
but you roll with the punches, gotta get yourself back up.

Well as a teacher i can build your road,
but you're the one that needs to take it home
and as your friend i can shine the light
but you need to see it, yeah you need to prove me right.

oh i hope this helps

yeah there's never an answer, fits inside the box,
it's the wrong damn shape
you gotta mold it 'til it fits,
you gotta make your hits not miss.

and you can't make plans for everything,
and if you think you can,
well you must be lost
and this might come as a shock

but oh i hope this helps,

well if you love me then you'd better tell me now
you'd best find a way, find a way somehow
'cos i'm leaving
this god forsaken town..

well oh i hope this helps.

about

thenight Sydney, Australia

thenight (originally she's themorning and thenight) spawned from the song writing of lead singer Neal Critchley.

From this, add a little bit of rhythm here, a sprinkle of strings, and a dash of melody over there, and you have made yourself a band with great integrity and dedication. We are thenight, and we will have you singing along in no time. ... more
