If we pretend to be asleep
I can touch you, I can touch you
If we pretend to be asleep right now
I can touch you
Lying in the back of a bus
Women take selfies upfront
You are the emperor in the back
And I want to talk to you so bad
You never said you wanted me
But you linger in my dreams
I’ll take the contact while it’s free
Lord, help me get to sleep
If we pretend to be asleep
I can touch you, I can touch you
If we pretend to be asleep right now
I can touch you
Entwined fingers, you jump in
Three buttons to your skin
Breathe in air, we live in comfort
Even in fantasy it’s not enough
Always spinning round the dancehall
Jumped so far and lost it all
Into the chasm of the past you fall
Let me get to sleep
This hall of mirrors trips me up
When I lean into you
And you hold me up
Daylight will come and you will go
But I just wanna tell you
I just wanna tell you
If we pretend to be asleep right now
I can touch you, I can touch you
If I pretend to be asleep right now
I can touch you, I can touch you
Daylight will come and you will go
But I just wanna tell you
I just wanna tell you

Goldilocks

I’m standing here and you’re standing next to me
Breathing quietly ‘cos we both know
There’s so much chemistry
One opportunity passes us by again
But what does it matter
Those sideways glances in a darkened room
I see you and you can see me too
Tie me up on a boring afternoon
Cos you don't know
And you’ll never know
I’m breathing in your air and running through the situations
I’ve told you hundreds of times in my head
And kissed you slowly under halogen lights
And you’ve killed me time and time again in my head
But it’s those sideways glances in a darkened room
I see you and you can see me too
Tie me up on a boring afternoon
I can’t reach out ‘cos my hands say no
And I don’t go where I shouldn't go
I want to so much, want to so much though
You remember being young and being naive, it’s really hard
Wondering when life is gonna start
And being there by your side, it was a dream come true
I thought loving you meant I got to keep you
I thought that loving you meant I got to keep you
But it’s those sideways glances in a darkened room
I see you and you can see me too
Tie me up on a boring afternoon
I can’t reach out cos my hands say no
And I don’t go where I shouldn't go
I want to so much, want to so much though

Brave

I just want to be alone with you
I just want to be so sure
Just like
I wanted to do this all my life
I wanted to be brave all my life
You make me brave
You make me brave
You make me brave
You make me brave
Who gave you eyes to do that
Who gave you permission to walk in here and make me go mad
I wanted I wanted I wanted I wanted
Pencil lead and iron bases
A casual way into formal places
A bow tie, a dickie, you broke me so quickly
and never even tried
Who gave you permission to
Who gave you permission to?
It’s not the life that I’d choose
Who gave you permission to
Lick the tip of that silver spoon, who named you?
You look at me all bones and leather
There’s changes coming in the weather
I'm running from the coming storm
And hoping that silence will keep me warm
Who gave you permission to
Who gave you permission to
Be brave?
You make me brave…
(Schoolboy hands and I bet you drive a vintage Jaguar
Tell the ego of the man by the model of his car
Easy rider, air conditioned, heated seats and vinyl listened
Well-read, intellect, pillow fights in double beds,
Beer drinking, hairline shrinking, someone I once met
Someone I once met, someone I once met)

Your Daughter
03:21
|

I am happy, I am sad
I am happy, I am sad
That could’ve been me in that black gown
Smiling serene with my hair down
And it’s easy to say you do better
Tuck it away, day’s a black letter now
I get stuck in these sad thoughts, soul a grid of crosses and noughts
Hold me at arms length, ready to detonate
So buy something that glitters
Good thing I’m not a quitter
Any day can be a black letter day
I am happy, I am sad
I am happy, I am sad
I am happy for your daughter, I am sad for myself
I am happy for your daughter, I am sad for myself
Life is just a fever dream
No one here is evergreen
So shrug, we shrug, we shrug
And if all I ever do means nothing much to you
It doesn’t matter
I am enough
You sit alone on a cold bench
Fill up the moat on your fortress
You firing your arrows to the distance
Pumping the fuel through the pistons
And all these people round you, fill you up their friendship grounds you
Can you break apart the shell of fear inside?
There’s a fighter in the ring and
He’s only got one praise to sing and
Now you’ve got love on your side
I am happy for your daughter, I am sad for myself
I am happy for your daughter, I am sad for myself
Life is just a fever dream
No one here is evergreen
So shrug, we shrug, we shrug
And if all I ever do means nothing much to you
It doesn’t matter
I am enough

Lover's Ruin
03:51
|

Call up the one you love to ask him how he’s doing
He’s sent from up above
Yet you conjured something to cause him ruin
You adore him more than anything but won't commit just yet
You can’t agree to him forever only in your bed
Call up the one you love, you know it’s now or never
But crises never stop
You’ll be tripping over, falling forever
You want to taste the alcohol, take an easy summer out
You want to hear those three short words
Falling out of someone’s mouth
What you want
Is something you can’t have
What you want
Is something you can’t have
And you will surprise yourself
This time in six months you’ll be free
This time in six months you’ll be free
Think of the one you love and you float like a feather
The axis of the world has twisted sideways altered forever
You told him on a Saturday that this wasn't working out
You cant believe the misery you’re causing
What you want
Is something you can’t have
What you want
Is something you can’t have
And you will surprise yourself
This time in six months you’ll be free
This time in six months you’ll be free
And you will surprise yourself
This time in six months you’ll be free
This time in six months you’ll be free

Hush
03:05

What is genius anyway?
Knowing that what you love can always get away?
I didn't have an answer for that
You once said a prayer laid flat on your back
I once found an answer in his hot pale skin
A respite from the sadness I couldn't dig up from within
But when my lesson was learned and my books put away
I am weaker now than yesterday
And hush
Hush
I’m gonna find you
You’re gonna find me
I’m gonna drag you home, you’re gonna kiss me
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
Drowning in love
A man can’t be a living prayer
Fill a longing for a person, want to live under your stare
There is nothing you can do
if you’re all done and you’re not complete
You can’t resolve every mystery
Can’t make a hungry heart go eat
And if all this awful pressure makes you question why you are here
Then hush
Hush
Hush
Hush
I’m gonna find you
You’re gonna find me
I’m gonna drag you home, you’re gonna kiss me
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
Drowning in love
Oh you reminisce too much, look at the texture of now
It’s good to know that
It’s good to know that
I’m gonna find you
You’re gonna find me
I’m gonna drag you home, you’re gonna kiss me
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
Drowning in love
I’m gonna find you
You’re gonna find me
I’m gonna drag you home, you’re gonna kiss me
It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
Drowning in love

I don't know where I’m supposed to be, but I know it isn't here
I relied to heavily on being rescued
But it turns out no saviour is coming
No grown ups know what you’re meant to be doing
I don’t think it’s day drinking
I don't think it’s lonely over thinking
I don’t think it’s waiting to be loved forever
Cos no one loves you forever
How do you get over that?
I know I can do better but there’s no rope in this hole
There’s no rainbow in my soul
Don’t give me quotes in unicorn fonts
Let me ruin you and then get gone
No one loves you forever
And how do you get over that
How do you get over that?
So cheer up, stupid
Grab hold of them boot laces
Grab hold of that hair
I will ruin you if thats what you choose to believe
How do we get over that?
I’d drink all night if I had the money
Trapped like a fly I caught in a bottle
It’s easy to do
Turn off the myth of love like a light switch
I can’t read people as well as I thought
Maybe I’m a gold digger, look what I caught
What am I
Pathetic or destructive? Am I all that is bad
So cheer up, stupid
Grab hold of them boot laces
Grab hold of that hair
I will ruin you if thats what you choose to believe
How do we get over that?
So cheer up, stupid
Grab hold of them boot laces
Grab hold of that hair
I will ruin you if thats what you choose to believe
How do you get over that?

The Unknown
03:23

You're whirling through my brain like windmills
Crashing heavy arms, that heart of yours
And I’m trying, denying,
But baby I don't know what I'm thinking
I wish I did
If anyone could paint a picture quite like you
The world would be so full of lovers
I always want to feel this way
When you held my hand
I always want to feel this way
So hold my hand
The seas are dark, a stormy soup
You shine a light to guide me through
If you help me haul my ship around
If we face the waves I’ll fall in love with you
With you
If anyone could talk in that romantic way
The world would be so full of lovers
I always want to feel this way
When you held my hand…
I always want to feel this way
So hold my hand
Leave me in darkness with these thoughts
Circumstance led me to your door
It only started ‘cos you picked me up
But I wish I wish I wish you’d said before
And hold my hand in candle light
We talk in the middle of the night
And I can’t believe what happened
But you make, you make, you make me happy
If anyone could paint a picture quite like you
The world would be so full of lovers
The world would be so full of lovers

How d’you know whats right at the time?
I'm leaving I’m gonna be leaving you now
Cos everyone’s a child ’til they die
I'm leaving I'm gonna be leaving you now
And I hope you finally got angry with me
And I hope you’ll come back to life strong
Steepen up the curve of my learning
Easy when the party for you is next door
For you with the heart that is love sick and injured
You’re left wondering what you could have done more
And I hope he knows that but I can only ever hope
The only life I can control is mine
And I wish that you had never felt what I caused
But all that can be is a wish
Do what you gotta
A lesson learned hard
Follow your mind or follow your heart
Heal best you can the guilt overwhelms me
Hurting somebody you love
Hurting somebody you love
Hurting somebody you love
Hurting somebody you love
Hurting somebody you love
