early signs

​

I took a plane out of nowhere
to a place that smells so sweet
the people here cant say my name
maybe it's just me

we'll walk we'll laugh we'll take a chance
cant you see it's just me and you
I'll meet you down in Regent Street
like we use to do


you believe the early signs
you conceive the world has won
here I can be anyone or anything I've ever seen
here I can be you and you can be me
these early signs don't mean a thing


wake me up in an hour
an hour or two
I dont wanna mess this up like I did you
and put your hand on my face
tell me what you want to feel
I know this wont seem like much but it's real


but you believe the early signs
you conceive the world has won
here I can be anyone or anything I've ever seen
here I can be you and you can be me
these early signs don't mean a thing


early signs don't mean a thing


sometimes I don't feel anything
and no one here knows me
sometimes I'm just like you
and you're more like me

but these early signs
don't mean a thing

 

blue hour

 

blue hour help me out
blue hour let me in
it's been a year sins I saw you

​

I'll spare a penny for your thoughts
I'll give you anything you want
could you give me hope tonight

​

blue hour hold me close
blue hour touch my face
it's been a year sins I saw you

​

I'll spare a penny for your thoughts
I'll give you anything you want
could you give me hope tonight

​

it sounds like it's raining outside
but that's not what I need

​

I'll spare a penny for your thoughts
I'll give you anything you want
could you give me hope tonight

​

blue hour let me go
blue hour let me go
it's been a year sins I saw you

desert island

​

you give me direction
you give me more than I'd ever need
I'll meet you where the cold wind blows
we'll drown our sorrows silently


but you forgot to believe my eyes
and what they hold in -


silence of your whisper
the way you never spoke to me
this place this desert island
wont you stay till I fall asleep

​

but you forgot to believe my eyes
and what they hold inside


Don't you think it's time to come back down
cause you know it's lonely lonely lonely
lonely down here


the curfew on your memories
the way you never looked at me
I love the way your footsteps flow
I hate the way you just left me


but you forgot to believe my eyes
and what they hold inside


Don't you think it's time to come back down
cause you know it's lonely lonely lonely
lonely down here
it takes so much time to come back down
but I guess you always knew what to do


Time come back down
cause it's lonely lonely lonely down here
it takes so much time to get out of here
but I guess you always knew what to do

Drown
 

I lost you when I found myself

drifting out with the sea
what I give is everything you need


string me up I ask forgiveness
hold me down till I cant breath
why cant you be a little more like me


I've had enough now I'm going home
I've had it all I'm leaving here alone
when you've got it all

you don't need me
and I don't need you
