Young Strangers

I wanna see you every Sunday
I thought about it every night this week
I keep forgetting you’re my best friend
And you want me to be complete
Tell what you want me to be and I'll be it
I'm beginning to believe in my own bullshit
I don't wanna be saved
Cuz I'm good
I'm Elvis in this neighbourhood
I've been thinking it over
Maybe we left it too long
Maybe I could get my shit together
Maybe it was not your fault
Thinking you could put me back together
I believe in falling apart
Don't kiss me we can work this out
Maybe we just left it too long, too long
You let my friends stay at your new place
And they were sleeping on a fold-out bed
I took a picture from your hallway
I don't think I'm gonna give it back
We were talking in the kitchen after, thinking
We were lovers but it changes
Two young strangers
I don't wanna be saved
But I prayed to angels on a painted plate
Alright, it would be easy if it never happened
You said it was just sleight of hand and close up magic
Felt like we were two consciousnesses overlapping
Yeah right
I don't even know what you are
Or i forgot it
I left it in my other pocket
I know it's what i said i wanted
It's just that...

I felt lonely for a second
Pulled the blinds back to watch the bin men
I could search a landfill finding words for something simple
Slowly decomposing in the horizontal light
Cuz I was tryna tell you something
I end up saying half of nothing
You just want my best intentions
But I'm looking out through dark glasses
I can't give you reassurance
That nothing else was here before us
But I'll give you my full attention
While I'm looking out through dark glasses
Another second, I was defeated
Losing the meaning of words repeated
If there's someone out there could you make some kind of signal?
I just want see you like a flare gun in the night
Did I say that right?
Press your face to the limo
Hazy
Let’s stay up tonight
And I’ll climb through your window
Help me
I just wanna feel like I can be myself
I don’t wanna leave the earth from nowhere else
I just stare ahead and hope that it all passes
Won’t ya spare my blushes
I’m looking out through dark glasses

Cathy, don't be so cruel to me
Could you love me naturally or not at all?
When I'm angry, I'm just a comedy
You're laughing at me like there's nothing wrong
Feeling kinda rough
I miss watching you do your makeup
Now everything sucks
'sall good, I’ll sit here gathering dust
Just wondering
Do you get lonely? ‘Cause I do
Do you wanna know me like I wanna know you?
Ashley, don't get upset with me
Go lick a battery if you get bored
One day when the doors re-open
Maybe you should think about what you want
You’re looking kinda stuck
What’s up, you never fallen in love?
I never said that I was giving up
But I felt like Atlas holding you up
So tiring
Do you get lonely? ‘Cause I do
Do you wanna know me like I wanna know you?
Maybe one day I’ll think about it

Saw you at the airport you were waiting in the aisle
Should have turned towards the exit but I missed it by a mile
I’d go back and forth forever but I know I’d miss my flight
I’m a single-celled amoeba you’re the last day of my life

Are you acting on a feeling?
You call me up for twenty seconds saying nothing
I know you’re there ‘cause I can kinda hear you breathing
You’re stacking sugar cubes and thinking ‘bout me, babe
Are you okay?
I pulled a sickie to come see you on a weekday
I wrote a song while you were finishing an essay
I know you hurt because I hurt the same
Now I can see a garden
I can see a car in the driveway, yeah
I can see a cat by the front gate
I can see you reading on a cold day
It’s like music I can feel through the wall
I wait for so long
But I know that you’re not waiting for me
True love makes you strong
So why does it have to feel so strange?
Wait, look the other way
‘Cause I might have some bad bad news for you, hey
And I can’t say it to your face
What if you don’t need me, babe?
I remember when I saw you
I was with Dan and you were sitting with your brother
I spilled my drink and then you looked over your shoulder
Me and my beer are going down the drain
Now I can see a garden
I can see the future in a new way
I can see you swimming in a blue lake
See your silhouette in a doorway
Dreaming in colours I can’t see when I wake
Still I wait for so long
When I I know that you’re not waiting for me
True love makes you strong
So why does it have to feel so strange?
Wait, look the other way
‘Cause I might have some bad bad news for you, hey
And I can’t say it to your face
What if you don’t need me, babe?
I wait for so long
But I know that you’re not waiting for me
True love makes you strong
So why does it have to feel so strange?
Wait, look the other way
‘Cause I might have some bad bad news for you, hey
And I can’t say it to your face
What if you don’t need me, babe?

Burn it all, my love
But would you have me round when the fire goes out?
I can feel it now
I’ve been asleep
You made me real I turned into a noun
And I like the sound
Street lights flicker on
The blood runs out my nose
Dripping on my fancy clothes
Got hit in the face and I’m ringing like a bell
But I always back myself
Even when I’m losing
Everything’s alright in the evening
Tell me how you’re doing
Think about you often
Someone loves you deeply
But I can’t be your Kora
Show me who you’ve been with
Did you find my tshirt?
Are you still in Oxford?
Are you still there dreaming about me, babe?
Burn it all, my love
I’d still have you round
Even when the fire goes out

Brown eyes
I want you live for a long time
You wouldn’t know I’m not the same anymore
The world’s been howling like a sick animal
How have you been?
The only way to start a conversation
If I’m unhappy do I really need a reason?
Changing of the seasons
Hard to know the difference
Well…
Can I tell you something?
I just wanna let some light in
Sometimes hear my neighbour crying
Think the simulation’s dying
Fires in the burning west and
Grass is growing through the pavement
Tell you how my mother’s case went
I close my eyes I’m ready to feel something
I soften up but the language evades me
(oh well)
Maybe one day I’ll think about it
My shoes will be tied
And I’ll walk outside
Into a pink sky
