Notes
On June 6th 2008, Alex wrote in his online diary: "I wrote a blinding song yesterday called "No More", put chords to it today and it's awesome, it's basically "Teasing To Please" by Cute Is What We Aim For mixed with Fortunes Fall's own "Debut"." (Alex has later said of this quote, ""No More" sounds like neither of these songs, I don't know why I said that".)
The lyrics were written about a night Alex spent in Glasgow where he was unable to sleep after a night of "drunken craziness" and as a result watched the sun rise over the city. The line "I'm told that people like to call us dreamers" was based on something said to him by fellow YouTuber Daniel McClean, referring to thinking men: "they don't understand us. They say we're crazy and call us dreamers."
Alex has said of the lyric "if you ever need me, I'm only a vodka away from you" that it's one of the lyrics he is proudest of.
The song previously appeared as part of a free 12-track album by Alex called Nerimania!. The album consisted mostly of ripped audio from vlogs on his YouTube channel and his now-deleted music channel 'nericoustic'.

Lyrics
I watched the city lights go up in Glasgow
And I thought about the stupid things we said the night before
There were so many words I had to say
So I wrote 'till I just couldn't write no more
I knew that come tomorrow, I'd be leaving
And I didn't want to bring it up because I'd miss you all
There were so many things I could regret
So I'll think 'till I just can't think no more
Here comes another night of trying to forget what I won't remember
And I can't move forward 'till I push you back
I won't stop 'till I make it back to you
But I need time to find out what I want from you
And when I clear these voices in my head
I'll hear what you've been saying and we'll sleep under the stars
I'm told that people like to call us dreamers
Because we won't ever stop until we've done all we can do
There are so many things I haven't seen
So I'll look 'till I just can't look no more
And if I told you everything I wanted
Would you close your eyes or look away or say you didn't hear
There are so many things I need from you
So I'll sing 'till I just can't sing no more
I won't stop 'till I make it back to you
But I need time to find out what I want from you
And when I clear these voices in my head
I'll hear what you've been saying and we'll sleep under the stars
Sat under this tree with you, the rain is on our faces
And I can't think of a single place where I would rather be
Don't forget, if you ever need me, I'm only a vodka away from you
Don't forget there's nothing you could say, nothing you can say that's any use to me
Don't forget, if you ever need me, I'm only a vodka away from you
Don't forget there's nothing you could say, nothing you can say that's any use to me
