August 04:03
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
2.
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
3.
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
4.
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
5.
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
6.
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?
7.
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
8.
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
9.
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
10.
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
