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

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
