Better At Night
01:16
|
|
||
|
with melodies and fireworks
we open the blinds only at night
in darkness we go outside
to stare at the lights and forget the morning
and forget who we are
we'll never care much for sunlight
cause everything looks better at night
in dark blue I think of you
it helps me to forget the morning
and forget who I am

Lyre Song

summer faces flashed between trees
and blue sky flashed between leaves as you drove
and we spoke
we fell into a conversation as easily
as the breeze fell into the back seats
said 'it's weird, one day
I'll only know you through a computer screen'
and it's weird, cause these days
don't even know you through a computer screen
you've gone away for so much more
you've gone away, there's so much more

I could not get down
I'm not sure I wanted to
it was your idea
I had to do it well
and the air lost colour with every breath
you said 'sometimes I think I'm better off alone
but when I'm in my house I don't know where to start'
I forgot to get down
until it was too dark to see
climbed up so high
I had to do it well
and the air lost colour with every breath
you said 'sometimes I think I'm better off alone
but when I'm in my house I don't know where to start'

Rooftops
03:10
|
|

we used to climb on rooftops
and look down at the floor
over time the sky has gone quiet
the more I know
the harder it is to not be like you
I want somewhere to go
so I can fall asleep on windows
I saw you in the high street
with your hand in her's
there've been times
I wished that you were mine
the more I know
the harder it is to not be like you
I want somewhere to go
so I can fall asleep on windows
have you noticed everyone here wants to get away?
have you noticed everyone here wants to go?
we used to dress covered in mud
we didn't need brightness to feel free
have you noticed everyone here wants to get away?
have you noticed everyone here wants to go?

Almost Flying
02:09
|
|
||
|
I ran around
until I got used to the feeling
went back home
wrapped myself up in a blanket beside you
I ran around
until it felt like spring
went back home
and fell into a colourful dream
where I ran around
so fast I was almost flying
far from home
alongside the trains through the blue and green

Empty Rooms & Aeroplanes
02:41
|
|
||
|
all I wanted was an empty room
but it was just as loud
as every passing day
in a different way
when I'm lying in the morning dark
I'm still a child
by the time I touch the floor
I miss everyone
everyone I ever met, I miss them
I went searching for some peace of mind
I drove out of town
to be a yellow splash of paint
from an aeroplane
tiny little splash of paint from an aeroplane

Hard To Forget
03:04
|
|
||
|
lying down staring at the ceiling
it's easy to pretend I'm in a different room
where we wrap up warm on the floor
as the night sky is replaced
we stay up talking to the sounds of the city
in a yellow blur of light seen from the street
but where do you go when the good songs come on?
I find it hard to stay
mornings come sooner than I want them
and everyone I know is still inside my dream
they're waiting for me to fall asleep again
they're waiting for me to fall asleep
we stay up talking to the sounds of the city
in a yellow blur of light seen from the street
but where do you go when the good songs come on?
I find it hard to forget you're not there
I find it hard to forget

Parks

I didn't know you well
but something about that night stuck in my head
we ran into the dark
and everything was so much lighter then
friends of friends are nice to have around

New Year

walk with me over the rain covered stones
I used to come here at night alone
I used to come here and think
how much I'd never see
playing the same notes on repeat
so walk with me over the piano keys
I wanna hear everything
I wanna miss nobody
I wanna keep making things
I wanna live by the sea
walk with me over the rain covered stones
I used to come here at night alone
