1. “Eraser”
I used to think that nothing could be better than touring the world with my songs
I chased the pictured perfect life, I think they painted it wrong
I think that money is the root of all evil, and fame is hell
Relationships, and hearts you fixed, they break as well
And ain’t nobody wanna see you down in the dumps
Because you’re living your dream, man, this shit should be fun
Please know that I’m not trying to preach like I’m Reverend Run
I beg you, don’t be disappointed with the man I’ve become

2. “Castle on the Hill”
And I’m on my way, I still remember
These old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way you make me feel, it’s real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

3. “Dive”
So don’t call me baby
Unless you mean it
Don’t tell me you need me
If you don’t believe it
So let me know the truth
Before I dive right into you

4. “Shape Of You”
I’m in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I’m in love with your body
And last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I’m in love with your body

5. “Perfect”
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we’re so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we’ll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I’ll be your man
I see my future in your eyes

6. “Galway Girl”
And now we’ve outstayed our welcome and it’s closing time
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
I walked her home then she took me inside
To finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
I swear I’m gonna put you in a song that I write
About a Galway Girl and a perfect night

7. “Happier”
Oh, ain’t nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain’t nobody need you like I do
I know that there’s others that deserve you
But my darling, I am still in love with you

8. “New Man”
But I heard he makes you happy, so that’s fine by me
But still, I’m just keepin’ it real
Still lookin’ at your Instagram and I’ll be creepin’ a lil’
I’ll be tryin’ not to double tap, from way back
‘Cause I know that’s where the trouble’s at

9. “Hearts Don’t Break Around Here”
But every night I’ll kiss you, you’ll say in my ear
“Oh, we’re in love, aren’t we?”
Hands in your hair
Fingers and thumbs, baby
I feel safe when you’re holding me near
Love the way that you conquer your fear
You know hearts don’t break around here

10. “What Do I Know?”
I’ll paint the picture, let me set the scene
I know, I’m all for people following their dreams
Just re-remember life is more than fittin’ in your jeans
It’s love and understanding positivity

11. “How Would You Feel? (Paean)”
How would you feel
If I told you I loved you?
It’s just something that I want to do
I’ll be taking my time
Spending my life
Falling deeper in love with you

12. “Supermarket Flowers”
I hope that I see the world as you did ’cause I know
A life with love is a life that’s been lived

13. “Barcelona”
And you and I, we’re flying on an aeroplane tonight
We’re going, somewhere where the sun is shining bright
Just close your eyes
And let’s pretend we’re dancing in the street
In Barcelona

14. “Bibia Be Ye Ye”
I remember less and less and mostly things that I regret
In my phone are several texts, from girls I’ve never met
And in the pocket of my jeans are only coins and broken dreams
My heart is breaking at the seams and I’m coming apart now

15. “Nancy Mulligan”
She and I went on the run
Don’t care about religion
I’m gonna marry the woman I love

16. “Save Myself”
My dad was wrong
‘Cause I’m not like my mum
‘Cause she’d just smile and I’m complaining in a song
But it helps
So before I save someone else
I’ve got to save myself
