Own

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

Love Song of a Liar
03:57
|

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

Mistakes I Want to Make
03:17
|

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?

Backpack Dreams
03:45
|
|||
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'll Marry You in Movies
04:04
|
|||
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
