Own 05:03
I put flowers in my vodka So it smells nice when you come over And we’re standing round a round, our vision getting smaller And it chokes the way I like when you’re pulling on my collar I spent so long losing you I’m not sure I even had you at all But I’d sell my soul, forego my pride To keep one broken finger in your door If I knew that was our last night I’d have told you words to last a lifetime Every line but lies, whatever to make you mine As I traced the pattern along your spine There’s "Demons" in my blood stream And I can’t hear "God" anymore So I make friends with them and let them in But I can’t say their name, cause they’ll say yours Please don't make me Break up with you but Wake up with you Make you laugh the way you do Tell you stories, hear your own Spend 17 hours waiting by the phone I won’t say I hate you, couldn't if I tried I'll tell you I'm alright, it's easier to lie Arms don't have a use if you're not there to hold Cause I need human heat, it's always cold On your own, your own, your own, your own, your own Don't want me in your life, cause I don't fit in yours But fuck to all the rules, there's only open doors We live how we want, I wanna live with you You underestimate what minds can do On their own, their own, on their own And I'm on my own

Fashion Show 04:42
Caught me staring at the dress you're wearing and I unhooked jewellery that you caught your hair in Can't tell what you're thinking so I'll get a drink in and ask can we both find a boat we can sink in You've got me high, I wonder why (sarcastically) you know that I have never had the nerve to come and say That I've been thinking maybe we should see where this is gonna go We've been spending all our time gettin' dressed to the nines for this fashion show Caught my eye I'm on a contact high I'm gonna find the right way to pull you aside I'll stumble on my words, ones that I know you’ve heard laughing as I trip over lines I tried to learn And you smile through, the way you do so deep I fell in love with you and further as I watch you while I say That I've been thinking maybe we should see where this is gonna go // We've been spending all our time gettin' dressed to the nines for this fashion show There are no good reasons why I waste time I find I have to let you know That together we look fine, all dressed up to the nines for this fashion show At first you sigh and roll your eyes Annoyed that I took up your time But maybe you're just scared and shy Afraid of how you feel and why But pound for pound, you turn around you tremble on the waving ground and I can tell, without a sound that you agree and you have found that Maybe we should see where this is gonna go We've been spending all our time gettin' dressed to the nines for this fashion show Take my hand we’ll leave this town, sharp in suit and glitter gown, then tell me everything you know Cause together we look fine, all dressed up to the nines for this fashion show

I’m tapped out Dead in choir coffin clothes That’s how I know this You sew the roses on your own Type in creed crucial codes Then sell a soul down the phone And I know We were old before I was young She’s left town Way too smart to tie down A punctured passport Along her back, sorted, soft silent tongue Too afraid and too fun Too unsure how to run And she knows We were old before she was young But I know how we run You keep your eyes on the sun Then sew the roses on your own Make a move, make a moan Convince your heart that It’s time apart that is keeping you from All the love that you long That’s all you wanted, right? So why’s your mind alight with these thoughts? Now keep me calm And I’ll try to tear away from lies that keep me wrong, cause We were old before we were young

Miles Away 03:08
I left home and swore to be a man by an on-ramp Trade out the governors for guns I left home but I was beating up the person I had worked so hard on and kept him on the kerb You stayed alone, and lived in the hearts of the guards in the north of England Grew silent, sad and calm When you told me you'd be lost without me, I never heard you But if I could now, I'd hold on But you're a thousand miles away Another million you're gonna stay Dirt on a hollow grave Combing all the walls away People in the love have enough cause to stay But eyes see further in time In the dust, you were happy And I'm on an ordinary road Now I'm stuck, but you're along as I’m trying to move on I plan on leaving, maybe then you'll really be gone Cause I wanna be a part of something And kept away from the bitter sin But it can take just one short fight by the sink Til it's playing again in my head that you said "You're a thousand miles away, another million I'm gonna stay" I hope there's nothing in your way And nothing to get in mine to remind me of times we unwind on the road But you're a thousand miles away You're a thousand miles away But you're a thousand miles away And another million you're gonna stay

Shake in your shoes As she dances round the room Deep brown on blue You’ve lost the fear again Warm the idea That she might love you too It’s soberly clear You’re cold until she’s here again Beau, bliss, belief She’s home, she’s how you speak A rented relief A world awaits your week Long let it lay In arms on golden fray Love London lain A love song, a dance on holy day

I don't see you, it's fuckin me up A million places where you might have gone What's the problem with our little home It's cold, I know, don't go, don't go Wanna think that you would keep me in mind It's hard to do that with his hands on your thighs Searching badly cause I'm scared what I'll find His mouth, your tongue, I'm done, I'm gone And I get drunk so at least I have an reason For all the mistakes I know I want to make You call me while I'm mad at myself "Wanna do something that's bad for your health?" I'm seven down, I've drowned in friends on my shelf So I, agree, halfheartedly I arrive and I can taste him on you And I deliver but I shiver right through Cause girl, you know I hate myself, that ain't nothing new And I loved, you more, that's what, I'm for And I break down so at least I have a reason For all the dry shoulders that I'm gonna take And I'll never blame you for fronting what I'm feeling When it’s all on me - please - just stay, stay, stay, stay, you wanna go and I’m in the way Do you wanna do something that's bad for your health? If you're around, just come over. I don't trust myself to fall asleep Cause when I go there, do I know where you'll be? I'm not allowed to care, cause karma is free What's one more night, a glass, alight?

I want a fire but I don't want to burn I want a gun and I don't want to hurt I need a drink but I don't want to die I need you around when there's no you and I And people tell me, "can't stay on the only road you know", but it's coming around again And people tell me, "can't endure the only pain that shows", but it's coming around again And in my backpack dream's where you follow who you love, And in my backpack dream's where I'd cover you, I'd cover you // I'll start a war that I don't want to fight I stayed at home so I'd cry all night I want your love but don't give it away Keep it to yourself, make me wait And people tell me, "can't stay on the only road you know", but it's coming around again And people tell me, "can't endure the only pain that shows", but it's coming around again And in my backpack dream's where you follow who you love, And in my backpack dream's where I'd cover you, I'd cover you I need you now, and I don't wanna wait Need you in my arms, and I know what to say I've lied I've loved before, but this time it's true I never wanted someone till I wanted you And in my backpack dream's where you follow who you love, And in my backpack dream's where I'd cover you, I'd cover you I remember at Richard’s house, and in the garden, learning how to talk to you. I’m still trying. Either way I'm not a guy I'd want you to fall in love with. I’m just sorry for everything. I'm so sorry for everything.

I heard you leave the room, I turned, it hurt that it didn't hurt But I've searched, and there was nothing quite like falling There was nothing quite like falling for you I'm tired of statue love and heartache rough and you feel the same But I'm kind of totally a little bit in love with your name So I'll kiss your faceless cheek, my knees go weak and fuck I'm afraid Just learn the words you're saying to me When I marry you in movies I'll love you on the screen I'll kiss you in the theatre Save the better seat for me You pretend that you don't feel it When you read all your reviews But you’d hide away your real life Just to play the ingenue I’ll cry, I'm frightened for my daughter, scared for her sleep in life I try, I take the better half of something, keep it in my imagination (playback) I wanted you to care, I know you don't, I'm giving us life My mind's projector, where I get to see your "missing me" smile You always told me that you'd hold me, now I miss you like knives There ain't a better role for me So I'll marry you in movies Our romance stays on film Our future lives in promo And that's all it ever will Your lips give me a soundtrack Your voice it eats up mine There's no need for a damsel Cause baby we'll be fine. There's a girl outside the movie And she has all the lines I need She's everything, she knows that But I can't redirect our scenes Let me know when you're in London I'll run with what we have I wanna live like this forever And die when it fades to black You have my heart, you won the part, I knew you'd do this to me Until our time, I'll wait in line to see you at the movies

I thought I was stronger, now I know that I'm not You tell me I'm a nice guy, I say “I hear that a lot” But I'm a terrible person Yeah I'm a terrible person I'm a terrible person I've been Hiding it in secret under my skin Cut it so I bleed out on your coat I spent three years in sympathy I'm not hard to find I'm so sorry for everything And you didn't mind So I'll sit there Yeah I'll sit there Just sit there Waiting on the world to end Waiting on the world to end Waiting on the world Waiting on the world to end // I remember saying On the night that we met That if there’s better days than ours They’re hours I haven’t counted yet Soon you found your way to me On waves to forget I told you everything I know You wore a little green dress Then you took my arm around And you could feel it too You made me laugh, I was a child You made me fall, I was a fool Now I find it hard to look at you When we’re in the same room I’m blinded by the smile you’re wearin’ Starin’s all I can do And Charlotte I do love you It’s a bitter romance Cause Charlotte I would hurt you If you gave me the chance Talking’s taking time My sorry stutters sound the same But every song I ever wrote Was sang and written in your name Cause looking at you now A thousand days at once appear A thousand love stories to tell you Stunting speech and fronting fear More and more we learn to talk We walk, we set our stone There is no life, since you’ve stolen mine As you took my heart and home This won’t be a movie It’ll ring and reign true I won’t pretend I know the end But I’ll make plans to say I do And Charlotte I do love you It’s a bitter romance Cause Charlotte I would hurt you If you gave me the chance That’s not something I aim to But I’d ask you to leave Cause when you see yourself how I do You’ll do better Than me Late in the night When you’re hard to find I’ll promise you upon your forehead How it’s gonna be fine And if your bones should go And no spirits out last I’ll marry you in every corner As I carry you to ash Cause Charlotte I do love you It’s a bitter romance Cause Charlotte I would hurt you If you gave me the chance That’s not something I’d aim to do But I’d ask you to leave Cause when you see yourself how I do You’ll do better Than me ("Favourite Clothing (Redux)" outro)
