Don’t know what to say Been thinking about it all day Curse those patient eyes I’m trying Freelance loving hurts Staying sucks but leaving's worse Read between the lines I’m trying Is it ever coming back again? I can feel it fading Is it ever coming back again? Maybe And it’s not getting much better T-shirt in sweater weather Too hard to say goodbye I’m trying And if you’re the moon Then I’m the kid with a telescope dreaming of you But you know kids can’t fly But I’m trying Swept up in your storm Raining down and furious And I don’t like the wind But I’m trying And it’s not getting much better T-shirt in sweater weather Too hard to say goodbye I’m trying Trying to get out of the rain Soaking wet and you’ve done it again Too hard to say goodbye I’m trying I see you’ve got a brace face But maybe it’s a mask Maybe I’m just scared to know Well I’m terrified to ask And I miss you like a limb But I’m just tired of hurting Baby, it’s getting late Locked my keys in my car and I’m not feeling great Too hard to say goodbye I’m trying And it’s not getting better T-shirt in sweater weather Too hard to say goodbye I’m trying Trying Trying

You’d think I’d regret her, loving in vain Oh I get up so fast that I fall on my ass again We’re just 20 and bored, picking old sores ‘til they bleed Just to see, how bad scars can be Red flags, blink and you’ll miss it Thinking back you didn’t ever wanna see them Rub it in with salt Say you’re learning how to love Leaving your world, but I know my way back Tempted to turn, but I’m better than that We’re just 20 and bored, picking old sores ‘til they bleed Just to see, how bad scars can be Red flags, blink and you’ll miss it Thinking back you didn’t ever wanna see them Rub it in with salt Say we’re learning how to love Can’t live without her, probably a sign Something ain't right Your missing my birthday, slipping your mind Baby you don't even try Chorus Red flags, blink and you’ll miss it Thinking back, you didn’t ever wanna see them Rub it in with salt Say you’re learning how to love We’re just learning how to love We’re learning how to love We’re learning how to love

Over composure 3 sheets to the wind One call and I’m in Take it slower There’s a rough course to sail And I fear we will fail Just tell me it’s fine Before it eats me alive I just need you more than ever tonight I keep making mistakes and I’m bound to break Hope is hopeless There’s promises to keep And the water’s getting deep The ocean’s choking And it’s hard to be Amidst the devil and the sea So I’ll tell you it’s fine You’re lost but so am I And I need you more than ever tonight It’s hard to take and you're drowning in pain Hold for a minute Don’t overthink it Let me let you down Hold for a minute Call when you get this We can talk it out Just let me let you down It’s all just a matter of time We’ll be alright But it’s hard getting by when each day feels like a lifetime Lifetime Lifetime Lifetime Lifetime Just tell me it’s fine before it eats me alive I just need you more than ever tonight I keep making mistakes and I’m bound to break But you say Hold for a minute Don’t overthink it Let me let you down Hold for a minute Call when you get this We can talk it out Just let me let you down

Well there’s a ringing in my head There’s things I want to tell you, but couldn’t bear the breath And I’ve been picking up kinks And I’ve hardly been sleeping any night this week So I’ve been drinking with friends I say I’m doing better but I guess it just depends And I bumped into God He’s got a lot to say but not a lot to divulge And I was ok when you left And I haven’t shaved yet And there’s an aura of resent And it hangs from your neck And lord I’ve been feeling it But don’t you miss the boundaries and talking in your sleep And don’t you miss lying to me It’s the silhouette of silence, it’s purgatory It’s been lonely since you’ve left And it kills me and it kills me dead I said “I heard you’ve been down” You say “that only ever happens when I don’t see you around” Said “I guess that’s a shame, When the two of us collided we didn’t leave the same” And I was ok when you left And I haven’t shaved yet And there’s a feeling of regret And it swings from my neck And lord I’ve been getting fat But don’t you miss the boundaries and talking in your sleep And don’t you miss lying to me It’s the silhouette of silence, it’s purgatory It’s been lonely since you’ve left And it kills me and it kills me dead And I hear you’re at peace in some other man’s sheets Well at least you’re worried about me You’ve clearly moved on So I’m high and I’m done So, fuck the pleasantries It was never meant to be Just sex on the edge with no strings But I thought you were loving me I swear you were loving me I remember it happening

It’s a shot into the dark, it’s a quarter past 2 There’s the stone henge on a bedspread in baby blue Half-cut with lights out and spinning like there’s ice on the road Dry mouth on an old couch, it’s a 20 out of 10 Can’t wait ‘til the next time we’re here again Patience is a virtue, I just miss you more than I said Don’t know where we’re heading Don’t know how fast These just aren’t questions for us But we can just stay happy Dancing on magic and dust It’s a teardrop in the ocean There’s a paperback on the bench Books trying to pull you from out of the wreck Well it’s been a long day Hell it’s been a damn long 6 months And you’re low on hope Praying to horoscopes It’s a hard slog and you’re swinging in the rough But we can just be happy Dancing in magic and dust

Outliers 04:27
Hold me In the early hours of morning Before the world has hurt me Before the world has gone Save me From myself and be my lady Your love has all but raised me Oh darling you are strong Caught on the outside Caught in the crossfire Caught between your eyes I was caught as an outlier Burning like hellfire Burn me up inside Save me Let me drink for I am thirsty My skin is rough your eyes are murky The colours float around like June Caught on the outside Caught in the crossfire Caught between your eyes I was caught as an outlier Burning like hellfire Burn me up inside Take me with you Take me someplace I belong Let me love you Give me hope when all else is gone It's still warm in the bed It's still warm in the spot you slept I've got a war in my head It's so cold in the holes you left I'll keep moving instead Can't feel pain if you can't ever rest I'll just get over it Tell my heart don't mind my head don't mind my chest Tell my heart don't mind my head don't mind my chest Tell my heart don't mind my head don't mind my chest Tell my heart don't mind my head don't mind my chest Hold me In the early hours of morning Before the world has hurt me Before you are gone
