Blinking Lights

How can I keep ignoring these blown fuses?
When you’re busy keeping someone else’s excuses
And walking all over me
You take off your glasses and stare at your coffee
With that small gesture, you’re backed in a corner
You've got your secrets, I've got my patience
These times we're in now, are your own creation
I see our demise it has blinking lights
Reflecting in your eyes
Taunting what ifs and whys
You’ve done something with your hair
And I don’t even know why
But I’m picking out your card
Finding vintage girls shouldn’t be this hard
Open a museum or a crypt
Throw in our frozen transcript
From before the balance tip
‘Cause you’ll never right this ship
I’m leaving you
I see our demise it has blinking lights
Reflecting in your eyes
Taunting what ifs and whys
I see our demise it has blinking lights
There’s no escape, but you know
It’s clear in the afterglow

Lucky For Verona

Sorry I couldn’t meet you, there were important things to do?
‘Fore this all goes under, there’s so much I’d show ya
While I’m climbing up signs, you're stepping out from the lines
Trying to find a way through, you can be here by the afternoon
Whatever’s in between us, don’t let it come between us
We can tear at little paper, if only you'd make ink safer
I never said to end your lover
Upstairs thoughts over and over
I won’t wrap around your little finger
Upstairs thoughts over and over
I guess it’s lucky for Verona that I’m feisty not a fighter
Oh, are you feeling lonely again?
Now you don’t even rate a mention
I never said to end your lover
Upstairs thoughts over and over
I won’t wrap around your little finger
Upstairs thoughts over and over

A montage of other days, keeping dry at L&K
Frozen feet on a busy street, the mix in my ears it’s bittersweet
Tugging on my sleeve, when you know I have to leave
Anna, it’s time, you can’t just stand about
We’re inter-hemisphere symbiotic, I’m in the atmosphere subatomic
Just another lonely California nerd, Chicago’s small and cold I heard
Just another lonely California nerd, rewinding listening back to every word
Salty taste above my lips and hesitation in my hips
Watching scrolling in the dark, walking faster when there’s sparks
Wishing I could define this, shoulder bump when I miss
Spellbound by the sound so queer, well found by birds in my hair
We’re inter-hemisphere symbiotic, I’m in the atmosphere subatomic
Just another lonely California nerd, Chicago’s small and cold I heard
Just another lonely California nerd, rewinding listening back to every word
Right before I fall asleep, here are my thoughts
I’m feeling whole, I never knew I was the sort
Look back twelve years friends, see my change
Three years or four are too close range
I wanted you to know, how they’ve seen me grow
Maybe you’ll write a song about it
Composed over a gin and tonic
I wasn’t afraid of anything anymore
And that’s why you might not recognise me at your door
When I come around
When I come around
Just another lonely California nerd, Chicago’s small and cold I heard
Just another lonely California nerd, rewinding listening back to every word

Thanks for the wine, I guess I’ll drink it without you
Hey the letter you wrote, it's a comforting fiction
Every time I’m not there, it’s you pretending to care
You’re my grain of salt, the pencil mark on my diary
I’m the kind of friend, that reaches and bends
But never trusted at rest, so how could you be the best?
Hey, count the photographs, it’s really simple math
Thanks for the wine, I guess I’ll drink it without you
Hey are you still downtown? cos I’m coming out
There’s a fire in my wall, it’s a wonder that I sleep at all
I’m standing in the flood, come pull me out
Traffic lights in the dark are changing with no cars
It’s all in my head, it’s all in my head
Thanks for the wine, I’m gonna drink it without you

Before You Fade

Eva walked away frustrated by formulae
Pulling back the curtains, hoping for illusions
Treasured new page
Turn my way
Before you fade
Spent too long on shoulders, analysin’ answers
Losing so much rest, on acquaintances at best
Treasured new page
Turn my way
Before you fade
Visceral reactions, bathroom revelations
Gotta get outta here, it’s just a moment to share
When did you rehearse falling off the Earth?
Trying telepathy
Move mountains please!
Eva you know the score, waiting on your trapdoor
Play the long game, hope they remember your name
Treasured new page
Turn my way
Before you fade
Treasured new page
Turn my way
Before you fade

Scattershot

With my summer legs and my winter shoes
With only a few weeks to go, we speak in back rows
It feels like hearing a secret
The dream fades underneath it
A crutch of a former care
You’re over there with her
You’re over there with her
You’re dancing on the edge of my vision
I’m writing myself a scattershot letter
And all I wanna do is look
You’re over there with her
You’re over there with her
I will not speak its name, your silly forgotten game
Furtively under the stars, a brief moment of us
A shadowed face a graceful fall
Careful my love filling with noise
A subtle flicker of candlelight
You’re over there with her
You’re over there with her
The betraying, the misleading
Withholding and the longing
The avoiding, the eclipsing
Come back!
Written to erase, the thought was just a phase
A crutch of a former care
You’re over there with her
You’re over there with her
You’re over there with her

Just Enough

Tournament of Sweethearts, played by the classic cast
“This is the last time” you insist, “I'm tired of all the waiting lists”
Just enough to take the edge off, while she's laughing her head off
When the lights out it’s all okay, butterflies will fade away
A knowing look not saying more, lead to opening and closing doors
Tell me something no one knows? “We’re going down like dominoes”
Just enough to take the edge off, while she's laughing her head off
When the lights out it’s all okay, butterflies will fade away
This time I swear I’m gonna learn, I know there’s always little burns
I won’t open up that box, keep it sealed shut under lock
Just enough to take the edge off, while she's laughing her head off
When the lights out it’s all okay, butterflies will fade away
The whirlpool pulsating in my chest
I don’t know how to say it best, but I want you there when I get home
You come in the night in a special song, orphan plans wait for new homes
Just enough to take the edge off, while she's laughing her head off
When the lights out it’s all okay, butterflies will fade away
Just enough to take the edge off, while she's laughing her head off
When the lights out it’s all okay, butterflies they fade away

Slow Burn Again

Pondering, yearning
Searching for meaning in your meaningful looks
As you’re revealing your type, I don’t believe my hype
When I’m like this, soon I’ll have to wake up
To receive my crushing blow
Perfect agony, showered in dust
You never tell me when you want us
When the heart works but the body’s not present
Settle into the crescent
If you declare with a lean then our night will buzz
Slow burning with me in a fuzz
Slow burning with me in a fuzz
Slow burning with me in a fuzz

Fly You Away

Keep yourself warm in my fur
Protected by my horn and claws
I'll wrap you in my giant wings
Safe from all the terrible things
Waiting for the perfect day where
I FLY YOU AWAY
