oh, come harshly

i saw glowing flames
and didn't even recognise that i was going under
i called out your name
but my voice was never over the lightning and the thunder
oh come harshly
and loudly too
oh never quietly
as if there's nothing else to do

driving
02:41

once i get around this bend
i'll find an ounce of confidence
to make it to the end of the road
and once the road comes to an end
i'll have to do this all again
and listen to the things i've been told
and the lights are turning green now
the line behind is long and won't give in
so i guess its up to me now
to practice all that I've been learning
it doesn't matter who you are
the stupidest person can drive a car
so in that alone i think ill be ok
but they're coming at me with glaring lights
won't give in without a fight
and in the moment i can see it all
this silver vehicle
will send me to my grave

beautiful

beautiful
she's so beautiful
and i am nothing at all
she's a ballerina
im a scared dreamer
she's dancing circles around me
as i continue to fall
i planted seeds on a sunny day
but was so naive to expect the rain
and it never came
so nothing grew
there are many things i can never change
and many things with no one else to blame
its always the same
nothings ever new

cooking pasta

cooking pasta every night
i wander if the worlds alright
I'm living without a phone
I'm living with my friends
but they're living alone
locked inside their bedrooms
on balconies beneath the moon
i know we'll be leaving soon
i know they'll be leaving soon

i saw phil elverum at some place in hackney
i looked at him he stared straight back at me
i swore he played the same song for an hour
and the person behind me forgot to take a shower
I'm making eye contact at a rave
its not normal for me to behave this way
I've already considered the possibilities
but I'm too timid and shy to catch him as he leaves

money song
02:36
|
|||
|
nothing is free
nothing in this world comes for free
and poor old silly me
i'm young and dumb with no money
it's my turn
lessons to learn
they're coming fast
how long does this last
theres always a price
everything comes with a price
and its not always nice
but its not always worth the fight

gift shops

you're still stealing from gift shops
i don't think you'll ever stop
its for the thrill
until it becomes a crime
everyone thats simple is strange
everyone mispronounces my name
its been the same
ever since the beginning of time
we ran in the dark and screamed
i froze when i realised you couldn't breathe
it wasn't just me who didn't know what to do
im glad that she was there
coz even though we cared
she was the only one who knew how to comfort you
why do my good ideas
come when the moments disappeared
by then its too late
im gonna steal a car
im gonna drive very far to the sea
don't mind me
i'll be ok

great escape
01:45
|
|||
|
you look puzzlingly at me as i squirm and nervously struggle to search for the answer to your impossible question
so i tell stories and say things i don't believe myself to fill the air in our small dining room conversation
the room is gradually emptying as they leave through open doors but i am still dancing alone in circles on a quiet floor
oh no
I'm running from home as if its just another day
theres no particular reason that begs me to stay
so I've left my note and planned my great escape
|

vividly i see myself with you
more than i see myself within
the true life I'm in
i could roll over you like rolling down a mountain
we could spread out together like water in a fountain
all that time i was way over here
all that time you were way over there
we're much more different than i thought we were
there's no love without delusion
there's no hope without confusion
you seem to be everything
and i have no idea what i'm doing
|
||||
10. |

|
i really thought i knew you
i really thought i knew you
but what a silly thing to do
to hold onto the idea of you
i really thought i knew you
your username makes no sense
your username makes no sense
though i try and find a way
i just can't relate
to your life in present tense
if i took one more step too far
id fall off the edge of the earth
there's so much space between us
but i feel you next to me
you're the sun, the moon and the stars
so soon to be the death of me
