She says the strangest things
When she calls me
At three in the morning
With stories to tell
Stretched purple nights
Should come with a warning
I'm going to be sorry
For wasting your time
Fading sun drowns at four
Aren't you freezing?
Vacant and feeling 100 years old
Oh, the things we don't say to each other
All these things we don't say to each other

To Brazil
04:42
|
|||
Spin and speak to you
Let you kill me
Hurdle swirling hues
For yellow mornings
From wasting life on this
Who'll be sorry?
In worlds of things they miss
Every morning
What am I to do?
When days are hollow
Ignore what time will prove
And former sorrow

Neva
03:29
|
|||
Vapour trails and I won't move any nearer
But now it all seems much clearer
You shone the sun at my eyes
You think it's dark all the time
But I still have streetlights
And yellow days
Floating on the Neva
You're wrapping question marks around my neck
To make me wonder why I left
Grey days coasting on the memory
I gave it up don't tell me
Where you are these days
I won't ask you won't tell me
Where you are these days

Longlights
03:59
|
|||
I know you or I used to
I've been blurring definitions
Lost interest in what you've been through
And your terrible decisions
Sentimental for you own sake
Everybody's sleeping
If you're lonely when your heart breaks
I know you or I used to
From your love to your heartbreak
|

Misremember
04:24
|
|||
Still diving after the old days
When colour is fading from your face
And everything is passing you by
But you always speak in the past tense
To photographs of your old friends
In every way it's keeping you lonely
Faceless, locked in
Letting days die
You misremember
And say there's no time
Holding close or pull apart from each other
When hurting owes
To a skewed vision of the way it used to be
But take me back to the last time I told her
Underground with her head on my shoulder

Olympic Christie
04:43
|
|||
Shed all your friends
I had a dream that I left you
Can you defend a nowhere direction?
Sleepwalking through
All that we lose
Emptying out
Nothing from two
Some running
Are you still waiting?
|

Rented World
02:39
|
|||
Void skies
Breathe out on broken fairground rides
That gather snow outside
Where we stumble through
Trying to dodge these truths
With what distractions do
|

Rollerblades
04:58
|
|||
If all these bursts fade
And become strains
It seems lives away
Those girls on rollerblades
Threw it at me
Their sorry sighs
Weighed on my mind
I watched convictions die
When I found you
Staying lost in this new phase
Because they're bored and youthless
Like always

Worlds You Drift Through
03:00
|
|||
The days flashed forward
Now I can't place them
They might not flood back
They might not glow
We were dancing
We were breathing
Now I don't even get to know
The worlds you drift through
Or what affects you
Or how you wish it wasn't so
But heartless distance
And perceived difference
Just obstruct us
Until we let go
|

Beach
06:40
|
|||
Get your head off my shoulder
What if I leave you to die?
The haze clears and we're older
On Saturday nights
Shiver but live without it
Your head in your hands
Doesn't this wear you out?
Or leave it on forever
Keep me alive
All that you do and told me
In laughing lines
Not falling over days that left us
Let down and lonely
Not dead where we stand
No ache, lost words
Just knowing who's holding your hand
All the reckless things that they do
I'll tell you the truth
