You made up your mind before I arrived
And now it’s changing you from the inside
I cried and I cried outside your house
While you held me tight, just held me tight
But you made up your mind before I arrived
Now your lights they shine as bright as I’ve ever seen
To hide from the shadows lying beneath
And your lips they shape out words that I can’t read
We speak different languages now,
speak different languages now
Oh a different man could’ve told me to hush
Oh a different man could’ve held my mouth shut
Oh a different man could’ve bruised my arms
But you held me tight, just safe from the night
Shame you made up your mind before I arrived
Now your lights they shine as bright as I’ve ever seen
To hide from the shadows lying beneath
And your lips they shape out words that I can’t read
We speak different languages now,
speak different languages now
Now your lights they shine as bright as I’ve ever seen
To hide from the shadows lying beneath
And your lips they shape out words that I can’t read
We speak different languages now,
We speak different languages now,
speak different languages now

Rise

Move forwards, you may find things that you don’t like
Isolate and stay the same until you die
Who the hell made you so beautiful?
Well, I would run away if my heart weren’t so damn full
I don’t know what I am, but I love that you care to ask
Will we grow together, rise from imperfect pasts?
Words like hunger in my mouth: I’m letting them out
It’s nice to meet you here on my level, up here
It’s nice to meet you here on my level, up here
Let me see your hands, do they tell the truth?
Or do they shake like you do, down there in your boots?
Oh he called me by this name, so now it’s the one I use
It’s nice to meet you here on my level, up here
It’s nice to meet you here on my level, up here
Up here where my thoughts flow: I’m talking with ease
Up here where I’m laying now, with curiosity
It’s nice to meet you here on my level, up here
It’s nice to meet you here on my level, up here
Oh It’s nice to meet you here on my level, up here
Up here
Up here

We are worlds apart, ages separated
And I’m mourning for the loss, mourning for the loss
And I’ve wanted to tell you, and I’ve wanted to call
But I’ve stopped myself over and over
I’ve wanted to tell you, and I’ve wanted to call
But I’ve stopped myself over and over
These are conversations we shouldn’t have to have
But here we are having them over tables
And I hate the way you turn away when I say can you just listen
I hate the way you turn away
And I’ve wanted to tell you, and I’ve wanted to call
But I’ve stopped myself over and over
I’ve wanted to tell you, and I’ve wanted to call
But I’ve stopped myself over and over
Over and over
There’s a great gaping hole between lives we used to lead
And a great gaping hole is where you used to be
There’s a great gaping hole between lives we used to lead
And a great gaping hole is where you used to be
Is where you used to be
Over and over
And sometimes I think of you, lonely late at night
Laying sleepless there on my side
Staring at the window watching the inside outside light
And sometimes I think of you, lonely late at night
Laying sleepless wondering if you’re alright
And I think and I think and I think
How is this over?
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over
Over and over

So Curious

From mouths we were told as the truest of loves
Fierce as fire, smooth as night
When one took, the other gave
When one lost, the other won for both.
Hand in yours, you held my ground
Walking new worlds, dressing for new crowds.
Only wanted it please you
Only wanted to be cooler for now.
But courage can’t cover ingrained old ways
I feel my old self turning in her grave
I shout in my mind, don’t leave me, don’t leave me
But my arms hold their own: they push you to breaking
Push you to breaking
Push you to breaking
Now, restlessness turns our heads
When the night falls hot, we’re back-to-back in the bed
In the morning, I don’t wake up to you leaving
Don’t remember you leaving
And you can’t shake this feeling
You can’t shake this feeling
Some days, we’re curious and brave
We hold love gently in our arms
Together, we nurture and cradle
Nurture and cradle, ‘till we can speak with our lungs.
And you’re all I need, in this house with tall ceiling
I don’t mind the floor sloped towards the chimneys
Be courage and patience, don’t cower in darkness
Breathe love into each others mouths
But courage can’t cover ingrained old ways
I feel my old self turning in her grave
I shout in my mind, don’t leave me, don’t leave me
But my arms hold their own: they push you to breaking
Push you to breaking
Push you to breaking
Now, restlessness turns our heads
When the night falls hot, we’re back-to-back in the bed
In the morning, I don’t wake up to you leaving
Don’t remember you leaving
And you can’t shake this feeling
Restlessness turns our heads
When the night falls hot, we’re back-to-back in the bed
In the morning, I don’t wake up to you leaving
Don’t remember you leaving
And you can’t shake this feeling
You can’t shake this feeling
You can’t shake this feeling
You can’t, you can’t, you can’t, you can’t,
You can’t shake this feeling
You can't shake this feeling
My head, oh my head, oh my silly little head
Will be the death of me if I don’t learn how to shape it
Oh my mind, oh my mind, oh my silly little mind
Once so big.
My head, oh my head, oh my silly little head
Will be the death of me if I don’t learn how to tame it
Oh my mind, oh my mind, oh my silly little mind
Once so big,
So curious

Cut Loose

You left without a fight, a cold war ensued
Now I’m trying to be the person who gets to choose
To choose not to keep something that’s been muddling me up
And I choose to cut you loose, not tether our hearts
And I choose to stuff this up rather than let you
Rather than let you
And the next time we meet, we may as well be strangers
For we’ve travelled far alone
Lies developed in this silence: we create what we do not know
And I choose not to keep something that’s been muddling me up
And I choose to cut you loose, not tether our hearts
And I choose to fuck this up, rather than let you
Rather than let you
Rather than let you
I’d never let you
I’d never let you
You left without a fight, and I’m trying not to worry
You had the last word, mine would’ve been sorry
And I choose not to keep something that’s been muddling me up
And I choose to cut you loose, not tether our hearts
And I choose to fuck this up, rather than let you
Rather than let you
Rather than let you
I’d never let you
I’d never let you
I’d never let you
I’d never let you
I’d never let you
I’d never let you
I’d never let you
I’d never let you
I’d never let you
