I’m coming down
At the speed of sound
Spitting rainbows
Catching clouds
I’m wearing thin
I shed my skin
Breaking glass
By a bottle bin
I’ve been waiting for a moment
I’ve been waiting for a long time
Waiting for the right time
To show you what I’m made of
Little by little
I’m breaking down
Spacing out
Turning frowns
Upside down
I’m bleeding out
Being drowned
And there’s a sequel
In my mouth
And all that I said
It doesn’t even matter now
No
All that I said
It doesn’t even matter now
Here you are
There you are

Here comes the bride
She looks like an angel
She’s made up in white
She’s ever so graceful
My aching heart
Has never stopped beating
Cause right from the start
I caught you cheating
I don’t want to know
How your dirty garden grows
Your tentacles
around my throat
Squeezing out the words
Until I’m choking
Burning up my lungs
Every morning
Should have turned
you off at the wall
Get on the ride
There’s no sense in waiting
Don’t be so shy
There’s no room for strangers
My broken eyes
Quietly healing
So it’s no surprise
That I saw you stealing
You know what
Lately I’ve
Been so bored
With your smile

Open Wide

Get over yourself
Go on, go on, go on
You see your eyes
Are closed but still open wide
And I’m so sorry
I Sold you out
It’s not forever
It’s just for now
Not cause of why I feel
That borrowed time
Means that you’re all I have
Putting your hand in mine
Not cause of honesty
Not cause you feel left out
I know you’re trying to sleep
But when the lights go down
You promised you’d wait for me
If only your time
Wasn’t so precious
I would spend it
As long as you wait for me
You promised you’d wait
You promised you’d wait
You promised you’d wait for me
As long as you wait
As long as you wait
As long as you wait for me

We’ve got time to talk it out
A little time to talk about
How you’re right all the time
And now I’m alone
For the first time
On my own
Can I be alone
With you?
Reach out
Dive in
If you go down
Kick your legs out
And swim
Be my hero
Always
Always
When I see your tired lines
Intertwine around your eyes
Only time can make you
Change your mind
Reach out
Dive in
If you go down
Kick your legs out
And swim
Be my hero tonight
Reach out
Breathe in
If you fall down
I’ll pick you
Back up again
You’re my hero
Always
Always
If I let you down
I’ll pick you back up again
I let you down
I’ll pick you back up again

You and me
Lying on the bedroom floor
Oh my days
Everything turned out great
We have the best of friends
I wanna tell you
But you’re not listening
Do you even know
You’re terrible in every way?
Alright
We’ll try and make it work
All the same
Settle down
You’re tearing everybody apart
Stick around
We can work it
Work it
Work it out
You and me
You and me
Making all this awful noise
I confess
You’ve always been a mess
Open your weary hands
I wanna show you
You’re beautiful to me
Can we work it
Work it
Work it out?
You and me

Break away
All the stories of the day
I make you cry
I make you smile
Open your eyes
For once in your life
Play for me
All the recordings
On your machine
Just press rewind
Open your mind
I’ll make you smile
For once in your life
Take your time this time
Open your eyes
Later alone
I heard you on the radio
You told the world
The things that they
Don’t want to know
And now it’s coming for you
Coming for you
Get behind me girl
Get behind me baby
Photographs
Telling a story of the past
Give me some time
I’ll give you mine
I’ll be around
Just draw me a line
Take your time this time
Open your eyes
But there’s only so far
I am gonna fall for you
And I worry all the time
I worry all the time
And I’m not alone

Uppercut

Anywhere you are
Anywhere you are
Anywhere you are
Raise the bar
I don’t know how to quit
I don’t know how to quit
I don’t know how to quit
Or say the things
I want you to know
If you’re gonna beg
If you’re gonna beg
If you’re gonna beg
Raise a leg
Cause even if you hide
Even if you hide
Even if you hide
You pay a price
You’re out of your mind
I’m perfect
Everybody says
I’ve got my mother’s eyes
Don’t try it
Pull your fingers out
You’re choking on
Your own disguise
I’m on the radio tonight
Even if you drive it home
You will still be alone
She will never tell
She will never tell
She will never tell
Or say the things
she wants you to know
Cause time has left me
Chasing my tail
At least it is mine
Time has left me chasing my tail
At least it is mine
No way, no way
No way
And you will still be alone
Until I say something
I want you to know

Tightrope

I’m your main event
You’re my circus girl
We move time and space
When we separate
I’m walking a tightrope
Will you be around this time?
When i was young
I saw the stars in the sky
Drown out the daylight
But now i’m older
I can see in the dark
So long my lucky stars
It’s more than i ever wanted
From you
From you
When i rescued you
I took you from the waves
Moments later
I saw you levitate
I still comb the beach
Looking out to sea
If i sing for you
Will you rescue me?

My guess is
You never read instructions
On the box
And now you’re breaking
You go home
To mend your little heart
With sellotape
And pieces of paper
Well everyone says that
You’re a stupid girl
Well you tell them something
They don’t know
You’re damaged
I never should have pulled you
From the box
Now you’re worthless
You’re frightened
You’ll live alone and then
You’ll die alone
But i won’t have it
Well everyone says that
You’re a stupid girl
Well you tell them something
They don’t know
Cause this they know
Well if you say so
You say so
You say so
Then i guess we’ll have to
Leave it there for now
Until the truth comes out
Tell them something
They don’t know

Been chasing white rabbits
Been eating black magic
Baby you go all the way
To hear what i say
Reach out and grab it
Go for a hatrick
Baby i will let you down
And bring you around
She’s so tired of being lonely
Tired of being lonely
She said
She’s no time for mathematics
Time for mathematics
Anyway
Been pulling my eyes out
Been taking a time out
Maybe i could fall asleep
Been fishing for dreams
Still counting these seconds
Still firing my weapons
Maybe we could run away
I hear what you say
So suppress my dirty habits
She’ll die before she admits
The chemistry was broken
Before i saw your face
I guess we’re not the same
I can see you but i can’t save you
There’s an ordinary girl
And she looks like you and me

I told a lie
I’ve seen the movie end
But I wanna be where you are
Come follow me
Down to the silver screen
I wanna be where you are
I gotta be where you are
Down on the floor
Beneath the value seats
I wanna be where you are
My fingers fold
Between your awkward knees
I gotta be where you are
And I promise to not break your heart
Or your soul
I promise to not break your heart
Or your soul
So take control
Now twenty two years old
I wanna be where you are
Now fall in line
So I can say you’re mine
Now I believe
There you are
Call me whenever
Remind me of movies
We have seen together
My horror beauty queen
