MODERN AIR
This is a Song
This is a song
For all the times you didn’t belong
And this is a song
For all the times they got you wrong
And this is a song I know, I know
This is a song
For all the times you weren’t alright
And this is a song
For all the times we lose a fucking fight
And this is a song I know, I know
But we are okay now
We made it through somehow
For all the times we didn’t belong
And all the times they got us wrong
I raise my glass to you
And all the shit that we’ve been through
This is a song
For all the times they got you wrong
And this is a song
For all the times you didn’t belong
And this is a song I know, I know
And this is a song
For all the times they got us wrong
Live Well
It seems the more you scream
The more that you get seen
That doesn’t sit well with me
That doesn’t sit well
It seems the more you lie
The more you get those headlines
That doesn’t sit well with me
That doesn’t sit well
Live well, live well
Live well, live well my friends
I forget to tell you how much I love and need you
It doesn’t take that much
To admit that we fucked up
Oh my god we are sorry
Now we will teach that history
Tell me I can’t get married
While you’re fucking your secretary
That doesn’t sit will with me
That doesn’t sit well
Live well, live well
Live well, live well my friends
I forget to tell you how much I love and need you
Live well, live well
Live well, live well my friends
It’s up to us now to turn this around
Negatively gear my future away
Ah god but back in your day
Negatively gear my future away
Give me a HECS debt I can’t pay
Negatively gear my future away
Oh my god you fuckers will make us pay
Negatively gear my future away
Ah wait but back in your day
Negatively gear my future away
Give me a HECS debt I can’t pay
Negatively gear my future away
Oh my god you fuckers will make us pay
Started a Fire
You started a fire that you saw burning deep inside
You said there’s a darkness so I switched on all the lights
I’m lit up
I am lit up
I can be your lighthouse
You can watch me guide us
Through the rocks, oh god i might drown us
You can be the person standing with the lantern
Looking out into the old ocean
The ocean
The ocean
The ocean
You started this fire
Now it’s burning deep inside
Then you started a riot
Now you’re gonna watch me rise
I’ll rise up
I will rise up
I can be your lion you can watch me rise and
We can joke about how you don’t think I got it
I can be your fighter you can watch me write it down a hundred times til
I believe it
Believe it
Believe it
You’ve gotta let go of everything
You’ve gotta let go of it all
You’ve gotta forget everything
You’ve gotta forget it all
You’ve gotta reject everything
You’ve gotta reject it all
You’ve gotta stand up for everyone
You’ve gotta stand up for us all
I can be your lion you can watch me rise and
We can joke about how you don’t think I got it
I can be your lighthouse
You can watch me guide us
Through the rocks oh god I’m gonna drown us
Get Out Somehow
I remember a time when that one round building blew my mind
I remember a time when there was a handful of neon signs
I remember a time when staying in the sun all day was alright
But now when I go there I feel turned around
Somehow I made it out of that small town
You gotta do what you gotta do
You gotta do what you gotta do
To get out somehow, to get out somehow, to get out somehow
I remember a time when everywhere I looked I just saw white
I remember a time thinking maybe snow might be alright
I remember a time when leaving my crew behind was not alright
But now when I go home I feel turned around
Somehow I made it out of that small town
You gotta do what you gotta do
You gotta do what you gotta do
To get out somehow, to get out somehow, to get out somehow
Tell me my life’s going to be different
Let it fall apart and let it hit me in my heart
You gotta do what you gotta do
You gotta do what you gotta do
To get out somehow, to get out somehow, to get out somehow
Bob Ross (Be the Water)
Remember
Remember what I told you
Be like the wind
Be like the breeze in my hair in the morning
Be the guide as I go to sleep
Remember why you told me
Take a deep breath in
Be like the wind on the water
Be the guide in your own dreams
Remember
Breakfast
Do you remember the very first time
We had breakfast but you were not mine
You made eyes at me the whole time
But I’m slow I didn’t realise
Please slow it down
Please slow it down
You just sat biding your time
So patient til I realised
Red cheeks and lingering eyes
Was fucking cold we stayed inside
Please slow it down
Please slow it down
I took a breath and looked around
Please slow it down
I’ll never forget the time
You told me that you were mine
Pushed me up against a bathroom stall
I told you that’s not how I roll
Played a show and packed up my stuff
Forget bus call I am off
Cause I need you now
I need you now
I took a breath and looked around
I need you now
I want you I need you I have to
Have you where I can see you
Cause you slow me down
You slow me down
You slow me down
You slow me down
Now I get to see you every day
Smile like a creep in the morning
Til you open your eyes and say
FFS please go away
But I need you now
I need you now
I want you I need you I have to
Have you where I can see you
Cause you slow me down
Ship of Fools
I found you on the beach and you were as fucked as I but we
Made it out alive so we start again
We start again
We were on a ship of fools lost at sea when I lost
Where you end and I begin
I begin
We forgot who was captain and listened way too hard to a
Pack of fools who didn’t really have a clue
They didn’t have a clue
We let it out
But what’s it all about?
The fucking and the living
The fighting and the killing
Some mediocre living
From mediocre beings
As the storm started rolling in I jumped overboard
Cause I didn’t really want to die but I was drowning
I was drowning
I looked back to see if you’d made it out alive but I
Couldn’t see if you had survived or just died
Or just died
We let it out
But what’s it all about?
The fucking and the living
The fighting and the killing
Some mediocre living
From mediocre beings
Ships go down
World spins around
Lives burn down
World spins around
But you and I got something
You and I got something
You and I got something
You and I got something
Mind Reader
Some days I gotta read your mind
Those days are the very best kind
Cause then I’m not dwelling on mine
Those days are a waste of time
Those days are a waste of time
I can’t stop looking at my watch
I need you baby round the clock
I bet you’ve heard that one before
But you know what I am good for
You know what I am good for
I am thinking of you now
Tired on the west coast but you’re out
I bet that you are thinking too
But not of me there’s work to do
Not of me there’s work to do
I got it I got it I got it
I got you
I got it I got it I got it
I got you
I got it I got it I got it
I got you
I got it I got it I got it
I got you
Some days I gotta read your mind
Those days are the very best kind
Cause then I am not dwelling on mine
Those days are a waste of time
Those days are a waste of time
Those days are a waste of time
Drown
Woke up forgot my stuff oh I’ve done it again
What’s her name
Did she tell me?
Oh I’ll just pretend
But I know how this is gonna end
She wants to be more than friends
In my dreams I get to see that you and me are gonna drown baby
In my dreams I see
In my dreams I see
Blood rushing in my ears
I got dressed and I ran
It seems like I have become that kind of woman
But I know how this is gonna end
Trust me you don’t want me as a friend
In my dreams I get to see that you and me are gonna drown baby
In my dreams I see
In my dreams I see
And you know that when I leave
It’s cause I really believe
That my dreams tell me
We aren’t meant to be
Yeah my dreams tell me
We aren’t meant to be
In my dreams I see
These dreams they keep us awake at night
My dreams they keep me awake at night
Our dreams they keep us awake at night
In my dreams I see
In my dreams I get to see that you and me are gonna drown baby
In my dreams I get to see that you and me are gonna drown baby
In my dreams I get to see that you and me are gonna drown baby
In my dreams I see
We aren’t meant to be
Fortitude Valet
We will never be the ones above
But that doesn’t seem to bother us my love
If the house is built right
We can live underneath it at night
We can sneak on up
Pretend this is our lot
I know you don’t sleep right
And sometimes I wonder why
Is it the bodies above us
Trying to keep you in line
We will never be the ones above
But that doesn’t seem to bother us my love
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Alone
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Alone
Everything will be done right
And there’s no need to wonder when
The bells will ring on time
And we will serve such capable men
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Alone
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Some wear out their heels for days
And burn in the sun while the others wait
Some arrive slow
Some arrive alone
Begin Again
He came out of the desert wearing a hat
He told me life is hard and that is that
I believed him
I believed him
I believed him
I believed him
I met her on the west coast
She told me that hearts don’t mend
But since i met her
Mine’s been fine
I believed her
I believed her
I believed her
I believed her
She let it out
You only get back what you put in
Don’t turn around
You know how to begin again
Begin again
Begin again
It came out of nowhere and knocked my head about
So i just sat back and watched it eat you up
I believed it
I don’t believe it
I believed it
I don’t believe it
She let it out
You only get back what you put in
Don’t turn around
You know how to begin again
I let it out
I only got back what i put in
I turn around
Then i begin again
I turn around
I turn around
I turn around
I turn around
WALLS
Dressed Sharply
I have nothing new to tell you
Since the last time that I wrote
But I know with certainty
Your hands will get this note
I don’t need any mirrors in my hallway
To remind me how I’ m feeling today
I don’t want any lights in my house
Turn them off, pull them down, throw them out
I read, I read
I read, I read
A yellow shirt and a blue jacket
I learnt for the first time today
A red flag means that I’ll be okay
You get up when I go to sleep but that’s just me and geography
I read, I read
I read, I read
A yellow shirt and a blue jacket
Dressed so sharply
You know I will read
Every word that you send me
Not Mine
A cold night, in the summer time
Under street lights that weren’t mine
In a city I think it was yours
You said this weather we’re having is not quite right
Summer’s not being itself tonight
Not tonight
I said it’s alright, summer seems just fine
I have no idea what it’s really like
This far north and to the right
It seems fine
From over here, here, here here
From over here, here it seems fine
A warm night, come on it’s summer time
Under desk lights that weren’t mine
I’m quite sure that they were yours
I said there’s something growing in my heart that’s black
As black as the sky on a moonless night
There’s no cherry pie in sight
You said alright, that’s enough Twin Peaks for one night
Your heart it seems just fine, your heart it seems just fine
From over here, here, here here,
From over here, here it seems fine
I’ll navigate the best I can, use this desk light as my friend
To get back where?
To get back where?
Over here, here, here, here
Over here, here, I’ ll be fine
I’ ll be fine
Airport Death
I sat in an airport thinking I’m gonna die
I sat in an airport thinking I’m gonna die
Die, die
I saw him moving quickly, he caught my eye
I put my head down and thought please not tonight
Tonight, tonight
Excuse me, I hope you don’t mind
But I can see what’s going on inside
I put my head down and I stared at my shoes
I thought if I don’t have to breathe then I won’t move
But I moved, I moved.
Fold up your table top, you’re showing off all that you’ve got
My table top is staying put, I wear my face this way it’s all I’ve got
I sat in an airport thinking, I wonder why
We put our heads down and avoid each others eyes.
Know This, We’ve Noticed
You’re a firehead in my mind
But you’re out of bounds and that is fine
I don’t know why they store them up like they do
But I know you’ve got better things to do
Know this, know this
I’ ve noticed that you’re not fine
There’s that moment then
Ah and again
I haven’ t forgotten a single one
I look out for you
I swear I do
But I think everyone has lost their mind
Know this, know this
I’ve noticed that you’re not fine
Know this, know this
We’ve noticed that you’re not fine
Know this, we’ve noticed that you’re not fine
I’ve seen this before in everyone
We all take our turn at the bottom and then we
Crawl around ‘ til we can find something to hold on to
I’ll crawl around ‘ til I can find something to hold on to
Know this we’ve noticed, that you’re not fine
Fine, fine, fine
Trains and Tracks
The tick tock, tick tock of my heart mimics the tick tock, tick tock of that clock
But what happens when the battery runs out?
The click clack, click clack of my brain mimics the click clack, click clack of that train
But what happens when the track’s all gone?
But oh my god, I tick tock for you
Oh my god I tick tock for you
But you’ll never come true
Cause what would I do?
No, you’ll never come true
What would I do?
I’ll shout it out, I’ll shout it out
The battery’s dead and the tracks run out
Now it’s a mini tragedy that I mistake sentimentalities with my memories
With my memories
Just look at these walls
Just look at these walls
There’s no brain and there’s no heart at all
But oh my god, I tick tock for you
Oh my god I tick tock for you
But you’ll never come true
Cause what would I do?
No, you’ll never come true
What would I do?
I’ll shout it out, I’ll shout it out
The battery’s dead and the track’s run out
I’ll shout it out, I’ll shout it out
The battery’s dead and the track’s burnt out
But oh my god, I tick tock for you
Oh my god I tick tock for you
But you’ll never come true
Cause what would I do?
No, you’ll never come true
I gotta find something to hold on to
Walls
I have nothing for you
Nothing at all, nothing at all
My head is bleeding from banging it against this wall
Bang it against this wall
But what’s it all for?
But what’s it all for?
Cause I don’t know if I know anymore
And you have nothing for them
And that is fair enough
Yes that is fair enough
And I know your nose bleeds for no reason at all
No reason at all
But what’s it all for?
What’s it all for?
Cause I don’t know if I know anymore
This insignificance is overwhelming me
This insignificance is overwhelming me
You promised me there was a point to this all
A point to this all
And you told me I had to just sit tight it’ ll be alright
Just sit tight it’ ll be alright
Just sit tight it’ ll be alright
My nose bleeds
Your head bleeds
Just sit tight it’ll be alright
Just sit tight it’ ll be alright
Brain on a Table
I know you wanted clouds for company
But you got me, you got me
And I could give you grief about the divide that I face every night
It’s every night
But I know, I know, I know
Or I learnt pretty quickly
That’s just the way things go
The way things go
But I’m not asking for all the much, just please wake up
Please wake up
I know you wanted someone else for company
But you’ve got me, you’ve got me
And you could give me grief about the divide that is oceans wide
It’s oceans wide
But I know, I know, I know
Well I learnt pretty quickly
That’s just the way things go you said
The way things go you said
But I’m not asking for all that much, just please wake up
Please wake up
My brain nearly leapt out of my chest when they opened yours up
My heart nearly jumped out of my head when they said that yours might stop
Yours might stop
Please don’t stop, please don’t stop, please don’t stop, please don’t stop
But I’m not asking for all that much
Just please wake up, please wake up
I’m not asking for all that much
Just please wake up,
Please wake up
100 Whales
Like 100 whales through the water
You know you had me in that corner
You had me in that corner
You had me in that corner
There’s at least a hundred pages I ought to
Burn before I can read what I wrote about you
What I wrote about you
What I wrote about you
But tonight, I’ m thinking of someone else
And I can’t help myself
No I can’t help myself
There’s at least 10 times I’ve spoken to you
And I’ve never said things that I wanted to
Said things I wanted to
Said things I wanted to
Play it close to the waist coat
Cause there’s always someone you know
Whose trying to catch someone out
Whose trying to catch someone out
But tonight, I’ m thinking of someone else
And I can’t help myself, no I can’t help myself
Yeah tonight I’ m thinking of someone else
And I can’t help myself
No I can’t help myself
But the difference between you and me is that I know when I shouldn’t speak
And you don’t know when to hold your peace
You don’ t know when to hold your peace
Black jack waistcoat in my face
Farewell to you my lovely
Farewell to you my lonely
Cause tonight, I’m thinking of someone else
And I can’t help myself, no I can’t help myself
Yeah tonight I’m thinking of someone else
Which in a round about way, means I’ve thought about you all day
Leave Me
It frustrates me that I don’t have the words to explain to you what I’m feeling now
I’m not moved that much but what I just heard moved me to the left
More to the left
I don’t know what put me there
If I had a guess then your voice would top this list
Leave me, Leave me be
I don’t need a bed to hide behind, I’m laying by myself
But your sheets are on my mind
I don’t know who put them there
But if I had a guess your voice would top this list
Leave me, Leave me be
I don’t want to remember summers in December
And I don’t want to remember last summer in June
Leave me
Windows in the City
We could count all the windows in the city
But you’re far too busy and I’m much too slow
So I will start with the windows in this alley
Cause you think in cities and I think in boroughs
We could count all the planes at the airport
But that would mean you and I were in the same spot
So I will count all the planes I can see
And I will talk to you like you are next to me
I could count all the birds around me
There must be a storm at sea, there must be a storm at sea
I don’t know why they come to me
I will pretend it’s them
I won’t believe it’ s me
There was no sound when the birds came down and
There were so many gulls and crows
Now why do you suppose?
There must be a storm at sea
It’s clearly them not me
I looked up when you told me to
Swallow the Sea
A peerless depth is where you’re at
And I’m still treading water just over your shoulder
A hole in your wall, in your bedroom after all
And I’m still over your shoulder, taking in water
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
We look to the sky but the swallows block the light
Tread water with me we can swallow the sea
It’s funny how the walls talk
Especially holes in bedroom walls
But they don’t want to talk to me
They don’t need to come clean
It’s okay to pretend these walls aren’t my friends
Their holes have told me more than I care for
Their holes have told me more than I care for
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
The light comes in patches now through the fog and the salt and the clouds
I wanted it to come this way so I could quietly slip away
Tread water with me, we can swallow the sea
Maybe it’s my convict blood?
Maybe it’s our convict blood?
Tread water with me, we could swallow the sea
Tiny Skeletons
Our favorite game was to count the eyelashes
That fell on my cheeks whenever you got a little anxious
You said it seems so strange that you can feel all my pain
I just smiled and walked away
I dreamed of leaving you today
Leaving you today
Later that same day
I was still thinking of running away
You said my eyelashes reminded you of tiny ribcages
You said if we’d saved everyone since this had all begun
We’d have 100 sons
A hundred sons, 100 sons
I said my dear I think you’re wrong
Go and look what we have done
We’ve made a whole lot of skeletons
But there’s nothing to hold onto
I’ve seen my bones fit together
With all sorts of people in all sorts of weather
But they have to get up and go, and they have to be on their own
On their own
Cause you’ve got the brains and I’ve got the heart
Ian Curtis said it would tear us apart
But it’s tearing me in two
Oh I want to think of you
I do I do I do, I do I do I do
But I’m thinking of my bones
They want to get up and go
They want to be on their own, they want to be on their own
Well I do
REARRANGE BEDS
Camp Out
This is a song for the one that I love
I haven’t met them yet
But I’m quietly confident
Although what if like he said
All I’m looking for doesn’t exist
Oh I have to believe it does
It’s okay to fall down
It’s okay to crumble
I’ve seen this before, I have seen this before
You said you wanted to crawl down deep inside
But at this point, after last year
I am happy to be alive
And like that good Hole album
I can live through this
I can live through worse
So play it back in reverse
It’s okay to fall down
It’s okay to crumble
I’ve seen this before, I have seen this before
You want to camp out
And I want to screw around in the dark
But my hips won’t give anything away
Not tonight
Not to you
But I think we both know you will stay
And I’m surprised how this fits together
I’m surprised how we fit together
And that I will remember
And that I will remember
It’s okay to fall down
It’s okay to crumble
I’ve seen this before, I have seen this before
You want to camp out
And I want to fuck around in the dark
But you need to know I’d do this all again
Just to get where I am,
Just to get where I am
I let you know I’d do it all again
Just to get where I am,
Just to get where I am
Postcards
Well old postcards are romantic when they’re intact
And old postcards are romantically full of fact
And the ones you have to watch
Are the ones that keep coming back
And you came back
Yes you came back
Well old cars sit on old card
And the streets have changed
But I think I am still the same
And it’s not what I want to hear
Or what I want to see
But your skin’s covered in postcards
From you to me
And when you see me sit by myself
You’ll think I am waiting for someone else
But I’m wishing for somewhere else
I am wishing for somewhere else
Two postcards in a month or so
Well I don’t know I just don’t know
Two postcards in a month or so
Well I don’t know I just don’t know
And it’s not what I want to hear
Or what I want to see
But your skin’s covered in postcards
From you to me
Company
Please put on that record again
And I will put on that shirt you’ve been wearing around
You’ve been wearing around
It’s times like this i think too much
Oh please don’t think too much
I can’t let you in
‘Cause these walls have been built
No, I can’t let you in
‘Cause these walls have been built
You said I’m out on a ledge
Come stand with me
I need the company
I need the company
My face has turned red
But it’s not from something you just said
I’m blushing on the inside
It’s those damn green eyes
Panel by panel and piece by piece
This all fits together but it’s not what you think
Oh there I go again
You said I’m out on a ledge
Come stand with me
I need the company
I need the company
I’m trying to get you in
I’m trying to get you over
I’m trying to be brave
I’m trying to be brave
But you’re listening to everything I say
And I’m trying not to give it all away
I like to keep my cards so close
You like to keep that console on
And all my broken parts
And all my forgettable false starts
You can have them right now
But you better not look away
You can have them right now
But you better not look away
This is me trying to be brave
Horizons
A boat in the Gulf of Mexico
I know, I know it doesn’t snow
I know, I know where to go
In the book by my bed
That holds all the maps of places we travel
And where lives intersect
I know I know where to go
I know I know it doesn’t snow
A roof top crows nest in a sea swell
Oh yes I’m doing so well
A roof top crows nest in a sea swell
Oh yes I can see so well
And you’re nowhere to be seen
Sometimes you lay out like a map in front of me
Well you know I have to go
But you know I’ll come home
When I climb on my ship and I look all around
I believe in horizons now
I believe in horizons now
A roof top crows nest in a sea swell
Oh yes I’m doing so well
A roof top crows nest in a sea swell
Oh yes I can see so well
And you’re nowhere to be seen
I believe in horizons now
A roof top crows nest in a sea swell
Oh yes I’m doing so well
A roof top crows nest in a sea swell
Oh yes I can see so well
And you’re nowhere to be seen
And i can see you
on horizons true
And I can see through
on horizons true
Rearrange Beds
That bit before you remember
Everything you know begins to blend
Into bones that ache with things that you can’t spell
Rearrange beds to make sure thoughts
Flow straight from my house to yours
And when you’re asleep you can forget about us all
Aches that sail like ships through cartilage you never did anything to
For some reason it wants you to know it’s not so happy with you
And when your eyes open wide for just one second inside
The morning is your own
And when your eyes clear up and
You come to terms with everything you’ve got
Your laughs don’t fall out like they used too
They just sink straight back into you
Aches that sail like ships through cartilage you never did anything to
For some reason it wants you to know it’s not so happy with you
And when your eyes open wide for just one second inside
The morning is your own
Save a piece of string for me
Keep it safe and neat and tidy
I swear one day it will come in handy
Little Little Little
Oh my god you’re a handful
And oh my god these hands are so small
Oh my god I’m a handful
And oh my god your hands got so full of me
Way too quickly
I thought I needed a suitcase
So I could pack this all away
I thought I needed a cold place
So when it snows
I could cuddle up to someone I don’t know
Oh my god you’re a handful
And oh my god these hands are so small
Oh my god I’m a handful
And oh my god your hands got so full of me
Way too quickly
I thought I needed a brave face
For one whole year I burned so brightly
I thought I needed a new place
But I looked around
And this was the town that I found
That I found
Believe me believe me when I say
I don’t want what I had yesterday
Believe me believe me when I say
I gave everything away
Believe me believe me when I say
I feel awake for a month and one day
Believe me believe me when I say
I don’t want what I had yesterday
Oh my god you’re a handful
And oh my god these hands are so small
Oh my god I’m a handful
And oh my god your hands got so full of me
Way too quickly
Little Lungs
And I thought you had ruined it all
And I thought you were going to hell
And I thought I had ruined it all
And I thought I was living in hell
But I get it now, I get it now
And they said that I had to be strong
And they said I should stick to the plan
And they said that it wouldn’t take long
And they said just remember the plan
And I get it now, I get it now
But sometimes it gets a little cold inside
And I know you tried, I know you tried
But they told me, they told me
Things aren’t always as they seem
But they told me, they told me
I should just concentrate and breathe
And I thought I was doing okay
While I thought you were doing so well
And I know you are doing okay
But I know there is that deep well
That you won’t look into
But sometimes it gets a little cold inside
And I know you tried, I know you tried
But they told me, they told me
Things aren’t always as they seem
But they told me, they told me
I should just concentrate and breathe
Breathe with little lungs I
Breathe with little lungs you
I know you are doing okay and
I know you are doing so well
You changed it all you changed it all
I didn’t reply to your letter and
I didn’t reply to your letter ’cause
I’m not here yet
So we breathe with little lungs
Scared As Fuck
I’m not really scared
I just like the way that those words sound
When they fall from my mouth
And I say them to you out aloud
Sometimes my hands
Clap louder than everyone else
But that’s the way it stands
If I want to clap the loudest
But I got so scared
That you might be
A better me than me
You can take my socks
But you damn well better leave my gloves
‘Cause I need my hands to be warm like everybody else’s
Once my hands are warm
I can give them to you and say
Please do all you can
But my fingerprints will stay the same
But I got so scared
That you might be
A better me than me
But we know someone who got so scared
At the supermarket and you were there
And I get to hold their hand
‘Cause they’ll get scared again
They’ll get scared again
I’m not really scared
Shoes Watch
Oh my my
Oh my my
It has come to this
Well it’s such a small town
And what comes always goes around
And there’s crows in the tree and they’re singing for me
There’s crows in the tree and they’re singing for me
All my luck
All my luck
It has come to this
There’s skeletons around
And they dance when the sun goes down
On rooftops where shoes just watch
On rooftops where shoes just watch
Come on and dance for me
Come on and dance for me
The crows sing so sweetly
The crows sing so sweetly
All my love
All my love
It has come to this
Well each bird song
In the dark before the dawn
It made me strong when i was far from
It made me strong when i was far from
Come on and dance for me
Come on and dance for me
The crows sing so sweetly
In the place where you used to be
Listen
Listen, listen
I’m listening carefully to where exactly you might be
‘Cause I have had enough waiting
I’ve had enough waiting for you
I’m thinking
Thinking of growing old with someone as beautiful as you
Just ask me to
Just ask me to
I’m recalling
Recalling putting jackets way too thin
To fight against snow way to thick
And it coming down sideways and you clearing my eyes
I’ve had little too much too think
I’ve had little too much too think
And empty rooms tend to make me believe in you
Surrounded by everything I own
Boxed and labelled ready to go
And not before time
And not before time
I’m listening,
I’m listening
