Tongue Tied
04:39
|
|||
Lights did blind,
my eyes as I did find you right beside me.
Even though,
my friends did find this pair and quite unlikely
Beautiful, I never thought having a crush could feel so cruel.
knew it all,
could never happen but I love to pay the fool.
Oh I wish I didn’t care about you but I do. Oh I wish that you could see my virtues,
They’re absolute.
Tongue tied & amorous,
These words were all that he could say.
((“Blonde eyes
Blue tips
This man
Could wish.”))
Her words are glamorous,
But doesn’t seem like she will stay.
((“Your eyes
So high
Upon
My lights”))
It seems so hazardous you only knew her for a day.
((“All night
Daylight
Craving
Those lips”))
Tongue-tied and amorous, won’t listen to a word we say.
((“Want more
Got less
Dream in
My head”))
Honey bees,
They buzz within my molars, empty cavities.
Opened mouth,
I try to talk and they just all came flying out.
This is what, you would have heard if I had told you all my thoughts.
It’s okay, I’d never tell you cause I’m scared of what you’ll say.
Tongue tied & amorous,
These words were all that he could say.
((“Blonde eyes
Blue tips
This man
Could wish.”))
Her words are glamorous,
But doesn’t seem like she will stay.
((“Your eyes

Paper Vows
03:15

I’m at your back door,
I know where you keep your spare keys.
Throwing digs me
With your heart on your sleeve.
I saw paper vows,
I found them at your house.
Lofty promises,
Mmm they sounded divine
‘Said take me by the wrist now.
Until death do we part.
V2
Blame it all on me,
And a little on you.
All these stupid things I do,
To be close
to you.
All this wasted time,
It’s like I’m out of my mind.
CH
They said take me by the wrist now
Until death do we part.
As paper frays and fades away,
Will the message remain?
Gold bands in open hands..
How could the retail decay!
And Everyone mentions we’ll turn into our parents, but we won’t make their mistakes. We’re so young but I trust that this is more than just lust. Oh come on sign your name!
Said take me by the wrist now.
Until death do we part.

This hate I hold
Is taking its toll
And too much time
Its messing with my soul
And if im honest
I cant be bothered with this
Its taking energy and all it does is drain me
Chorus
I dont want to hate you anymore
I don't wanna, I don’t wanna
Waste another minute on ya.
I don’t wanna hate you anymore.
Its been so long,
since I felt strong
And in control
I want to feel whole.
If I’m honest, more than anything you drain my energy.
(Oh you were so mean)
Oh you twisted my arm
(Oh you were so mean)
And you’re tearing us all apart.
(Oh you were so mean)
And you pushed me too far, deflecting blame on me.
Chorus
I dont want to hate you anymore
I don't wanna, I don’t wanna
Waste another minute on ya.
I don’t wanna hate you anymore.
You tear me apart in places
Empty space my brain Replaces.
All this time and spite you cost me.
I can’t wait until you cross me.
And I tried and I tried and tried to keep it out my mind. X4

Straight To My Head

V1
Straight to my head,
On these drawn-out nights,
I’ll get braver sometimes.
Come on.
Let’s hear that sober heart confined in your mind.
“Listen” he said, he’s got a new disguise and says he has the cure.
And he’s
Dancing in the kitchen while the afternoon boy swallows cheap wine.
Tired of being aware
Oh of this person inside my head.
I’ll take a Swiss Army knife elixir,
And it’ll go
Straight To My Head
V2
Straight to my head
and I feel so light
like these limbs they aren’t mine.
Can I
please stay forever, disconnected from time.
Four glasses of wine and my tongue unties, take away the white lies.
Stil my,
insides still harbour carnivorous butterflies.
Tired of being aware
Oh of this person inside my head.
I’ll take a Swiss Army knife elixir,
And it’ll go
Straight To My Head
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know where I’m going
I don’t know where I’m going
Straight to my head, sparkling conversations left on read.
It’s like, this liquid lets me learn to talk again. And it’ll go..
Straight to my head

Thelma + Louise

As I pour the drinks,
You explain.
You aren't sleeping well, kept awake by growing pains
And that feeling that there's something wrong
My dear friend, can you please go on
Oh, is there anything that I can do at all,
You feel so small, sitting on the floor, back against the wall.
And I can see, you don’t wanna be ignored. You’re seeking more, you wanna feel secure, outside of these four walls.
It’s makes sense now.
So afraid to be alone
You salt the earth, thinking nothing else could grow
Oh, is there anything that I can do at all,
You feel so small, sitting on the floor, back against the wall.
And I can see, you don’t wanna be ignored. You’re seeking more, you wanna feel secure, outside of these four walls.
So I’ll say..
Even if you do, do you want to, can you trust me now,
Gonna pull you through, I’ll try, if you want me to.
If you want me to
You know I’d take it all for you
If you want me to,
You know I’d take it all for you

You Want More
04:31

VS 1
In the forest, we danced with our arms outstretched
In the darkness, I felt alive and oblivious
PRE CHORUS
But these stolen moments, they slip through my fingers
I cannot hold them for more than a minute
Oh what was I to do
CHORUS
You want more
You want it, want it
You want more, you’re so young and invincible.
You want more. You want it, want it.
You want more, you want it, want it.
VS 2
In the darkness, you touch my thigh through my fishnet tights
In the silence, I hope you don't hear me sigh
PRE CHORUS
But these stolen moments, so frail and fleeting
It feels so hopeless to crave such a feeling
But what else was I to do
CHORUS
BRIDGE
And now we're friends
but I'll treat you like a stranger on the street that I just met, coz I cannot forget
And I'll pretend
that nothing ever happened, that I had just imagined the whole thing in my head
I will regret
all my lifeless interactions, devoid of satisfaction, but I cannot reset
I must confess, I'm a mess but I want more of these stolen moments
I'm fucking hopeless
OUTRO
(Mistake)
Im a mess but I want more of your stolen moments
(How much can you take?)
(Mistake)
Im a mess but I want more of your stolen moments
(How much can you take?)

He Looked Like Summer
03:27
|

Oh you,
had this untapped power to move me.
Oh you made the days long.
Oh when you came along, but you never stayed.
He left me spinning when he looked like summer, dripping in a sunset colour, like a tropical storm.
He left me spinning when he looked like summer, dripping in a sunset colour. When the weather was warm.
Oh nights, sleepless nights they come with headaches.
Oh, do you remember? Changing all this weather?
Sunburnt rooms and open windows, toss and turn the sweat-stained pillows. Then you vanished too soon.
He left me spinning when he looked like summer, dripping in a sunset colour, like a tropical storm.
He left me spinning when he looked like summer, dripping in a sunset colour. When the weather was warm.
Oh we, we crossed paths in a sun-kissed town. Ah but then you disappeared, ah just like I always feared, 'cause you never stayed.
He left me spinning when he, looked like summer.
Like a tropical storm
When the weather was warm.
Like a tropical storm
When the weather was warm.
Like a tropical storm
When the weather was warm.
