Retrograde 03:12
Call out from the eye of this storm Your former self can't save you once you're gone Would I speak a lie If I said I'd turn back time To a life gone by, or a state where love resided Once alive Fall down to my knees, I beg you, please I was better then, but this room won't let me leave I'm not who I'm supposed to be My back against the door My thoughts are bleeding out in front of me I'm stubborn, I'm cracking, I'm sick of life imagined but I'd rather be unhappy than pretend it never happened What would you say If I loved you all the same? A hold on my brain Help me press restart I know this isn't ideal for you But I won't hold my tongue

I walk a mile with her hand in my pocket A stone held in my shoe It didn't take long for me to catch on It was a dream I was walking through The words escape me, been on hold lately Strings slowly gather dust It didn't take long for me to catch on Someone else said enough I can't fight the weather With your hand in my pocket I'll always come back to you Music and lyrics, hate that I fear it Peripheral noise imbued With murmurs of sin as the tide rushes in And the heat of the sun does burn A change of the wind as your heart's covering I'll say something asinine They all agree this will never be bliss I'll write their lines into mine I can't fight the weather With your hand in my pocket I'll find my way back to you Take what you're given I'm so sick of living I always come back to you Pick me up where I've been going wrong Pick me up where I've been going wrong Break me to pieces Tell me you need me Read in between this

Easy Rider 04:00
Been running for too long now to admit that I’m lost My wheels have all torn open, my tracks are in the dust Take a look at my sidecar, it’s empty Take a look at my sidecar, it’s empty seat It’s just me down this long and dusty road You take the world as it comes I’m cruising at 21 The devil’s in the details, darling Heed your every word It’s you and me against the world Too hoodies and a lighter My easy rider Well, I guess I was slow Couldn’t keep up with your know-how With your love, all for my sense of sensibility And selfish qualities that left me stranded on the floor So, take a look at my sidecar, it’s empty Take a look at my sidecar, It’s empty now My easy rider

Oh, My Love! 02:43
Winter winds whisper to me Lost in the air, all those memories that render me weak It’s just a bad game of hide and seek Feel like I’ve been here before I like to sit alone but I don’t want to be lonely I’ve never felt so sure Oh, my love I hold it in Oh, my love I hold it in Your dimpled cheeks smile vindictively You’re my desire, speak sweetly as you put out the fire You’re such a beautiful liar My left arm feels numb Somebody call for a doctor or a loaded gun It ricochets off my callous heart I watch him bleed from afar Oh lord, I watch him bleed from afar Oh, my love I hold you in Oh, my love I hold you in Broken smile Rest my head for a while Enact my plan The bigger man As I tear apart As I tear apart No, we won’t start again And oh, my love I hold you in

If love is nothing but buzzing upside my head There's no reason to be happy I'm better off being dead A long way to the ground I'm kind of embarrassed Sat on a rooftop here in Paris Trying not to make a sound The smiles and hands in front of us But no love left so give me something Give me something to rely on I won't say goodnight until you're out of my mind I won't say goodnight until you're gone There's no use in playing dead, boy There’s no use in being six feet under It's all in your head, boy You'll be okay, you'll be okay But I don't want to be here No, I don't want to be here If love is nothing but buzzing upside my head There's no reason to be happy I'm spending my day in bed The cool side of my pillow is my only friend Staring at the ceiling Waiting for the end (Ugh!) I don't mean to scare you Just being over dramatic Your texts are monosyllabic Traumatic thoughts in my attic I don't have the best voice but I can hold a tune I'm a twat but this music helps with getting over you The smiles and hands in front of us But no love left so give me something Give me something to rely on I won't say goodnight until you're out of my mind I won't say goodnight until you're gone There's no use lying in bed, boy There’s no use in being six feet under It's all in your head, boy You'll be okay, you'll be okay But I don't want to be here No, I don't want to be here I'd rather be anywhere but here

Strawberry 05:15
Give me a moment To catch my breath And regain my dignity You're as sweet as can be The taste of your lips As sweet as can be Hold me close Whisper in my ear Everything that you Think that I would want to hear Hold me closer, dear Hold me closer, dear Hold me close And I would never, ever leave again 'Cause I'd be living in my own personal heaven My mind would wonder If this was all a dream The taste of your lips As sweet as can be You pull me in Water dripping To touch your skin Feel the fire you're exhaling Hold me close Whisper in my ear Everything that you Think that I would want to hear Hold me closer, dear Hold me closer, dear Hold me close Soap in your eyes Smoke in your lungs

The Flood 04:06
Your bread, your wine Can easily define you Your gait, your smile The most heavenly sight for a while Open your eyes, take my disguise No believing in god, no believing in her either Watch my eyes open at the sight of love Watch that door open, washed out by the flood My sanctuary, her arms are scary love My sanctuary Feeling better, feeling fine Preacher said it was all in my mind He clapped his hands and he reached for the sky “The Father says you’re a melancholy guy” I said “Of course I am, do you see that girl? The one with the ocean blue eyes and the Devil’s curls She drowns me every day and makes sure my lips bleed But I love it, she consumes me” Watch my eyes open at the sight of love Watch that door open, washed out by the flood My sanctuary, her arms are scary love My sanctuary, I am not a man of god The water washed me out The door is open now Our secrets pouring out I smile as I drown No God to help me now I live a life of doubt She wears a holy crown I choose to bow down

I see her eyes wander Over to her man I'm just caught in the middle of it One drink in each hand My head hurts, my heart hurts Its a conditional plea With the music swinging Top of my lungs, singing A song that reminds me of her I missed the feeling, how it felt, and all the memories I'm moving on and other features are attracting me But it's purely skin and mine is wearing thin Why did I come to this? To mix with socialists? The part of party personas that I would happily miss "Just take a drag to numb the taste Forget the fact she got away from you It's the closest thing to turning back time", I'm sorry I'd rather dry my eyes outside blasting out The '75 You gotta find what makes you happy Even if it's an overdose of caffeine That's mixed with a mix of spirits and gins "Hey babe, we're taking shots in the kitchen" All my friends have gone to collide With a girl or a guy, whoever caught their eye Oh is it me? I'm only sat on your bed Minding my own business Trying not to throw up on your throw rug But her hand is on my leg Not only are we just friends Here comes her boyfriend who has to intervene again Drink on my lips, honey whiskey kiss I insist, don't resist as its kicking in, intoxicated Can't resist the clique of the girls With the racket on their fingertips I better go before I make a scene Am I too bruised for you to come back home with me?

I tried my best Clearing all this off my chest Sick of holding in my breath For a beating heart I confess I could use a love like this Now you know you passed the test Nothing compares I won't fall in love Not with you, not with you I won't fall in love Not with you, not with you I've got no excuse for my appearance here I lived through paradise, why should I bother here? Don't ask the question if I haven't learnt the lesson I don't even understand Now, the only other question is: Are you in love with this? I'd hate to be falling down I won't fall in love Not with you, not with you I won't fall in love Not with you, not with you I'd hate to be falling down Well I fell back down to Earth Life, love, death, rebirth I'm a little bit lost but that's okay Longing for heaven made me this way

Details 04:18
I walk a thousand miles to wind up at your door All is clear that I'm not welcome anymore Tie my hands behind my head Hang me out to dry If you still love me then lie I don't know right from wrong Been waiting for so long Spare me the details I won't walk out alive Spare me the details I'm doing fine Spare me the lies Spare me the heartache There's nothing you can say Spare me the lies Spare me the heartache I'm doing fine Does he treat you better Than I ever could? I'll keep my distance This time for good, because I don't know right from wrong Been waiting for so long Spare me the details I won't walk out alive Spare me the details I'm doing fine Spare me the lies Spare me the heartache There's nothing you can say Spare me the lies Spare me the heartache I'm doing fine Who wants to be in love anyway? All these songs say I do Spare me the details I won't walk out alive Spare me the details I'm doing fine Sorry for the lies For the heartache Or anything I ever said But you know I'd break my back To see you again
