And every time I see you it makes it harder and harder not to want to be with you
and I know you don't want to hear it, but I gave it all up fr you
and all I'm asking for in return is a kiss for my kingdom
Before I fall apart
And everytime that I'm alone I sit here staring at my phone
Hoping that your name will appear
and I really don't want to hear it but my head won't let me stop
Another song about you and all the thing's I'll never do
I'm a fucking nightmare.
and all I'm asking for is a kiss for my kingdom
Before I fall apart

My constant infatuation leads to self deprecation
I can't handle hearing you talk bad about yourself
and my lack of satisfaction leaves me on the road in traction
Watching headlights and streetlights and everything fire past me in the fog
I could live in this sadness forever, with or without you
Whatever...
Sometimes we fit together, like a puzzle
But sometimes behind glass walls we cause nothing but trouble
My constant layers of bullshit, leads to nothing but
Constant unsolvable problems
and your constant lack of interest makes me want to wish everyone the best
and pack my shit up and run away

I think it's about time that I stopped staring at the moon cause it's freaking me out
You're freaking me right out.
I think it's about time that I just stopped and figured this out cause it's freaking me out
It's freaking me out.

Someone asked me today how I was feeling
I didn't know what to say, So I turned, shrugged and walked away
I guess there's something, something going wrong
But I guess as always there's some truth hidden in this song
I'm broke, broken in two
I blame my heart, but then of course there's you
I'm broke, It'd only take one kiss to fix me
I blame my head and all the times it's tricked me
So now I'm going to tell you, just how I feel
Although I dont know what to say, I'll say it anyway
I smile when I'm with you, It's all fun when I'm with you
But I can see you're broken too
So I think it's time we took these pieces and put them together
You see beauty where, there's no beauty
I think it's only fair that you have someone

Infinite
05:00
|

It's funny how much I love these darkened city streets
But the darkened streets of my town just drive me mad
It's funny how quickly some peoples feeling change
and these new feelings just keep making me sad
I just want to feel infinite again
I felt it briefly, as I brushed past your hand
and as your dress pushes into my consciences
I can feel it, that infinite feeling
and It's strange I can't remember how I got to bed
Oh my heart, oh that corner of my room misses you, misses everything you say
and it's strange the grey cloud above my head has a silver lining
It's the thrill of the chase, that's what I want, that's what I'm pining for

It's a simple progression, It soundtracks my obsession
and I threw up all my whisky and you threw up all your wine
and I thought about the day I could make you mine
When we go out drinking, you're always first the fall
Now me? I'm always thinking, so I'm always the first to fall for someone
and I'll admit that I'm slightly intoxicated
So i get slightly aggravated when you talk to someone that isn't me
But it's okay, you keep glancing over so I can see one day I'll make you mine
I hope that's you talking and not your wine
Throwing hearts around your room someones bound to get hurt
put our hands over our eyes, who's got it now?
(Everything's a game to you and me and all our friends)

Since Friday night all I've thought about was the way you are and
How you giggled when we kissed, and how I i hope this might not work out
But of course I think about, this MIGHT work out, oh I hope it works out
Just think of all the things that she's done
Think she was just doing all that for fun?
Think of all the good times, think of the sun
Who knows I might just be the one to change it all
Since Tuesday evening all I've thought about was just what you said
How you looked at me before we kissed, I'm trying to work out what it meant
and all the messages you sent I'm trying to work out what they meant
Just think about the ghosts

I feel blessed just breathing the same air as you
and when I'm around you I hardly know what to do
and if we share a bed again, it might be the end of me
Cause I don't think you can see the beauty I can see
But we should take this slow
even though my heart is beating at 100mph
This time you should show her exactly how you feel
Don't be afraid, don't be a coward
Now I'm a fucking mess with this stuff I never have a clue
I just look the other way hoping she'll know what to do
Maybe if you're patient I can make you see
There's beauty in you, there's beauty in me
So let's see what we can be
and now I'm singing in the rain, what a glorious feeling
I'm happy again.

Sit in the Darkness
04:01
|
|||
|
The wind moves the trees out my window
a heavy rain falls on the ground
I'm trying my best to hear something
but I can't hear a sound
Over my beating heart
cause it's falling apart
Cause I'm spending the night with you
and I don't know it will do, spending a night with you
as the wind and the rain pursues
God knows what? for God knows who?
It's just like that time I tried to pursue you
Shadowy figures in the lights in the distance
Live their tiny little life's
I can't see anything, I can't see through the lights
I can't see past you, and all those things that you do
You say I'm always tired, I said you're always pretty
Let's just sit in the darkness and try and figure this out.

It's a Working Progress
03:15

Today I'm not convinced by this skinny mess of a self,
I'm not convinced you could feel this way about me.
I'm selfish, I'm negative, I'm ignorant and slow
Just go ahead ignore me, what do I know.
But in a darkened corner of a nightclub or a church whatever
You told me I was all that you could see
and I know that you'd lost count of all the wine that you had swallowed
But still it meant the world to me
And there's no doubt in my mind
and think we know there's no doubt in yours
This thing is gonna work out
but you know me I find problems, no matter what I see
Today I started crying in my work place, but I always work alone, so no one cared
Just tried to think of the girl in the red skirt and how you covered my eyes in case I stared
and in a dark dark room in the city with your friends,
I stumbled over my words and accidnetally said I love you
and I know that wed both drunk so much we didn't care what we would do
but I hope it meant the world, to you.
It's a work in progress.

My Every Word
05:38

Won't you let me walk you home?
Cause you know I didn't mean it when I said I didn't like you
Let's just blame it on the alcohol and a fuck ton of fear
So won't you let me just stay the night
Cause I really really mean it when I say I really like you
I don't think my feelings have ever been so clear
Just don't blame it on the alcohol and a fuck ton of lust
Cause you're just a little girl with bright blue eyes
but you've got some bright ideas
So won't you please be mine tonight?
In this darkness or drowning in these lights
So tell her nothing if not this,
I recognize this rhyme and this eternal bliss
I think It's time you stood up tall
and stopped relying on this alcohol
So won't you put on something more upbeat
At this low tempo you were after sleep
You know I'm not! You know I treasure every moment
It just gets tiring tripping over my every word
My head is tail spinning out of control.

It just looks like these jeans don't fit since I got a taste for drainpipes
and it looks like its going to rain today, I guess it has to cause It's Sunday
and the ties on my hood still sit uneven since you grabbed hold of one when you kissed me
and I know you said that I only had a sip but I swear this morning I can taste the vodka on my lips
But I'm not complaining cause it means I can still taste you
Now please. Go ahead. Take your best shot.
My heart is yours for the taking.
Now please. Go ahead. I hope I don't get caught out in this Situation
If I do it's okay my hearts used to breaking
It's starting to look like this thing could work out, but that might just be because these lights are so bright
I guess it's just cause I'm just pessimistic but I guess I've got to be cause It's Sunday
Now our friends aren't looking can I kiss you cause you know I want to
It's all I want right now.
My mind gets clearer every time I sit here in this darkness with you

Happy Accidents
04:30
|

I'm sure it was an accident but they said it wasn't
I guess it was an accident when I fell in love with you
Today I'm just so scared I'm going to spend this year
I'd like to spend it with you
I want to tell you but your phone never fucking works!
Stars are catching your dress
as we find our way home
In the night your burning bright as always
We found ourselves in that room, you know we've been here forever
If you want me to slow down I will
cause I only want to make you happy
I ask you where our friends are ("Where our friends?")
You say I hope they never come back home ("I hope they never come back home!"
You know it makes me Oh so happy
Knowing we're happy alone.
You shouldn't have exposed such a romantic weakness
I'll probably take advantage of that side whenever I can
But now my nerves are shot cause our friends are in the room
It's hard to show you I love you- when I can't look you in the eye
I always thought your heart would be guarded by 100 locks
but every time we're alone I feel closer.
They said it was no accident.
I just want you home safe in my arms.
That's no accident.

Jonathan Richman was right when he said
Sometimes we get that feeling confused
Cause tonight all I can think about is holding you in my arms
It's more about the feeling of loving someone than it is of being loved
It's more the feeling of being someone than it is of being no one at all
and Morrisey magnifies my mood cause he always makes me think of love
and obviously he makes me think of you cause he used to stare down at me from your wall
Through those dark dark nights so long ago
Before I built up the courage to say, everything I wanted to say
YOU'RE JUST MY TYPE
And as that guy that both me and you love said "Everything Reminds me of you"
Flashing lights, and the darkness. excitement and calm
and everything that our friends say
and obviously every time I see you, well you make my effing day
and all I ever want to do is look in your bright bright blue eyes and say;

My two favourite things in the world right now are;
Lou Barlow and your never ending gaze
There's that feeling. It's one that I've missed
where I'm counting down the days
Now I'm drunk enough to care but not drunk enough to dance
So I'm glad I finally went out on the limb and took a chance
and all these gifts still have your scent
I hope you see how much it mean
and now my eyes are welling up cause
cause I can finally see I really mean something to you
and I really wanted to get over you
But I realised that was something I just could not do
You answered the door and you looked like an angel
Light shining behind and a pretty red bow in your hair as always
My two biggest fears in the world right now are that I will fuck this up
and the other is that soon you will realise I'm just not worth that much
So I'll keep drinking til I'm not scared
Till I can keep up with your wonderful stare
Till I can convince myself I can keep you
You? You're my favourite person.

Wasting

I could watch you dance all night or until you get tired
and you, usually do
I could listen to you sing forever, but you might forget the words
but usually you pull through
I could stare into your eyes forever. but we should probably start moving
If we wanna get anywhere
I could probably go, go anywhere. Anywhere with you
I could waste a million years (with you)
I could face a million fears (with you)
I could fight a million tears (for you)
Look at the skyline, patiently waiting for you to appear
I don't think I could be happy anywhere, anywhere but here
and as the beat starts happening I start to think of happiness
of course it's with you...
Can I be your hero?

How come everywhere in the city is ten minutes away?
But back home you're forever away?
It takes forever and a day to get to you.
and that scene in the record store makes me want to kiss you like 100 times before
But this time it'd mean more! Cause I'd tell you what I was thinking
You know Summer's just around the corner
but back home it feels forever away
One day we can have it all.
But not if we don't get out of here...
There's a song that reminds me of you,
I recall the title but I can't remember the words
and it's strange I can't remember the first time that I ever saw your face
and It's strange that the steps we're taking have no order or pace
Summer's just around the corner.

In your Heart
04:20

Last night I had a dream that I knew everything about everyone
But I woke up and forget it
So now I can't do anything for anyone and now I just can't see
cause your beauty knocked it out of me
We're just tiny fractions of people
trying their best to find a home
and I found mine late last
Late last night in the darkness
When we were all alone...
It's in your heart.
when you're in my arms.
When I see your eyes.
They keep me from harm.
and I want to be everything you want me to be
Oh I hope I can be.
And last night I wanted to promise
That I'd do anything if you asked me to
But I stumbled over my words
cause I can't say anything right to anyone I love
I just can't leave, my heart is tied to your sleeve
and that tiny fraction of hope you love me as much as I love you
But I think you do...
It seemed like that last night in the darkness.
Where's my heart now?

I think it's time you stopped staring in her eyes
And told her what your heart was thinking.
And even though you've thought it over 100 times before
You'll probably have to wait til you've been drinking.
Maybe then she'll stop pushing your hands away.
Once she hears everything you've got to say.
AND BY THE POWER OF GREY SKULL
sometimes I feel like a skeleton.
And even by the light of my stereo
I can still see your beautiful.
And even when my head is killing me
you make me laugh with the things you do.
Maybe you would see you were beautiful
If you see how much I love you.
And sometimes I don't feel worthy.
And Its clear I'm not the only one who feels that way.
But life's about love friends music and art.
It's not how you look but how you feel.
And you say you're gonna get better,
But I just don't think you can
(Cause you're close to perfect)
So let's just sit in the dark whispering sweet nothings
Holding hands...

I'm usually quite the romantic but today I can't stop thinking about your tits
but once you get passed that, it's the same place where your heart sits
and in the long run that's what I'm after but there's some perks along the way
Like how you look in the morning and all the funny shit that you say
Cause it's the little things in life that mean the most
You're not just another girl who's heart washed up on the coast
I found it in the city long ago, before the ghosts
You know I'm usually quite pessimistic but I believe you say
I'm the best person that you've ever met and you're excited to see me today
You know thats exactly how I feel, you took the words right out of my mouth
So let's go to the city- to the west not to the south

Uncertainty
02:23
|

Let's get on a train- let's go away
Let's look at the sand, let's look at the sea
I'll look at you, you look at me
I'll be whoever you want me to be
If you share your beautiful body
And you ask me how deep the ocean is but I just could not say
You ask me where our footprints are but I can't see where they lay
and some things last forever and some things last a day
and I've said before, so I'll say it again
Life's better lived that way
with uncertainty
I'll get in a car I'll come to you
We'll do whatever you want to do
I'll look in your eyes, I'll look in the lights
Look out the window take in the sights
of everything that we might become
I won't throw words around...
words like "the one"

Lovers Turn to Monsters Glasgow, UK
Lovers Turn to Monsters is a long pale man, slowly falling into middle age.
He wishes he
could be one of those guys who tours all the time, but he likes baths far too much. So instead he stays in his room and makes lengthy albums of emotive lo-fi nonsense.
