breathe in

i read you and god i'm good at it i'm so spot on
chord shapes in air go press that dissonance if you dare
and you breathing in finesse an innocent
from her partying

and i'm high enough from all the waiting
to ride a wave on your inhaling
and i'm high enough from all the waiting
to ride a wave on your inhaling
'cause i love you no?
can't help but love, you know...

what part of no don't you understand i've told you before
to just get off my case this isn't happening stop this now
and i where was i? i have to be somewhere
now where did i put it?

and i'm high enough from all the waiting
to ride a wave on your inhaling
and i'm high enough from all the waiting
to ride a wave on your inhaling
'cause i love you no?
can't help but love you, no...

is this it is this it is this it?

yes hello we're back and we're taking calls
now what was the question?

and i'm high enough from all the waiting
to ride a wave on your inhaling
and i'm high enough from all the waiting
to ride a wave on your inhaling
'cause i love you no?
can't help but love you, no...

hear me out

i join the queue on your answer phone
and all i am is holding breath
just pick up i know you're there
can't you hear?
i'm not myself

well, go ahead and lie to me
you could say anything
small talk will be just fine
your voice is everything
we owe it to love
and it all depends on you

so listen up
the sun hasn't set
(i refuse to believe that it's only me feeling)
just hear me out
i'm not over you yet
(it’s love on the line, can you handle it?)

so how do i do normal?
a smile i fake
the permenant wave of
cue-cards and fix-it kits
can't you tell?
i'm not myself

i'm a slow motion accident
lost in coffee rings and fingerprints
i don't wanna feel anything but i do
and it all comes back to you

so listen up
"this" sun hasn't set
(i refuse to believe that it's only me feeling)
just hear me out
i'm not over you yet
(it’s love on the line, can you handle it?)

hear me out
listen up
this time you gotta listen to me - yeah
look at me straight
just hear me out
don't make me wait
i'm not myself
i can't take this
love's on the line
is that your final answer?

i join the queue on your answer phone
and all i am is holding breath
just pick up, i know you're there...

so listen up
"this" sun hasn't set
(i refuse to believe that it's only me feeling)
just hear me out
i'm not over you yet
(it’s love on the line, can you handle it?)
(repeats two more times after this and fades)

shh

sunbeam, stop tugging me
pull that door shut quietly

we don't have time for this

mmm dey mmm da mmm daaeeoo
mmm dey mmm da mmm daaeeoo

crazy well what are you then?
give me an hour and i'll give you your dreams...

don't make a sound
shh and listen
keep your head down
we're not safe yet
don't make a sound
and be good for me
'cause i know they're waiting somewhere out here

leave it i won't go back
we have to do it 'cause it's not been left here
don't care what do they know
i've seen them, baby, and i know it's real

mmm dey mmm da mmm daaeeoo
mmm dey mmm da mmm daaeeoo

sure, in time, i knew they'd come
oh, are we having fun or what?

'cause i know they're waiting somewhere out here

i feel good all over

wear your inside out...

psychobabble

how did you get this number?
i can't get my head 'round you
of course you're not coming over
snap out of it
you're not making any sense

you couldn't be more wrong, darling
i never gave out these signs
you misunderstand all meaning
snap out of it
i'm not falling for this one

if love is surrender
then whose war is it anyway?

do just what i tell you
and no one will get hurt
don't come any closer
'cause i dunno how long i can hold my heart in two

if you think that it's so damn easy
then what do you need me for?
just look at the state of you
babe, snap out of it
you're not listening to this

and just for once could you
let me finish my sentence?

do just what i tell you
and no one will get hurt
don't come any closer
'cause i dunno how long i can hold my heart in two

make no sudden movements
and no one need get hurt
you're makin' me nervous
if you know what's good for me
why would i be leaving you?

now, i've had it up to here
don't ever try that again
why are you so quiet so suddenly?
go on, have it
you're just dying to try me

do just what i tell you
and no one will get hurt
don't come any closer
'cause i dunno how long i can hold my heart in two

make no sudden movements
and no one need get hurt
you're makin' me nervous
if you know what's good for me
why would i be leaving you?

so, what do we do now?

it's good to be in love

i don't know where to start
say i’m tired or throw a party
these cucumber eyes are lying the more that i smile
about it
and all of my clothes feel like somebody's old throwaways
i don't like it

it's good to be in love
it really does suit you
just like everything
i'm happy you're in love
'cause every colour goes where you do

i'm adoring you
it's all good
you're so beautiful
i'm black and blue all over
you're breaking my flow, how could you know what i'm saying
about it
when all of my clothes feel like somebody's old throwaways
i don't like it

it's good to be in love
it really does suit you
just like everything
i'm happy you're in love
'cause every colour goes where you do

i feel so powerless
i've got to stop it somehow
oh come on, what can i do?

why's it happening?
how's it happening without me?
why's it happening?
how's it happening that he feels without me?

it's good to be in love
it really does suit you
just like everything
i'm happy you're in love
'cause every colour goes where you do

'cause every colour goes where you do...

close up

is this a feeling of something
about to happen?
like snapping out of something i didn't realize i was in.
was i sleeping?
what?
how can you be so sure
if you've never been here before?
i don't understand,
it can't be that easy.

i love you i hate you i love you i hate you
i can't keep my hands of you
i love you i hate you i love you i hate you

get back, get away from them
it's all wrong
keep calm for a moment
look in my eyes
get back, get away 'cause
this could get ugly
if you think that i'll let you go
you're out of your mind

oh my god,
i'm not supposed to say this
'cause i know that you're trouble but...
is that your real name and why are you doing this?
and how did i get here?
ok..no more questions,
no worries
it's destination unknown
so dive in
the waters great
listen i'm starting to speak like you

i love you i hate you i love you i hate you
you can do no wrong
i love you i hate you i love you i hate you

must be dreaming

pay close attention
don't listen to me from now
george'll be flying this one
and it's anyone's guess how he does
this is the right turn, wrong universe
taking me in full bloom
fireball, careful with that
there, see what you made me do

i must be dreaming, or
we're onto something
i must be dreaming, for
i don't fall in love lawlessly
i must be dreaming, or
pinch me to waking
so undeniably yours
as long as i'm losing it so completely

incendiary glance

while i go helplessly sky high
magic eye sugar rushing don't

flicks

(Is it possible to have reel of film segments instead of dashes)
lung of love leaves me breathless
tongue of fool lap me in enmity
four walled secret lies among the hessian
& a flicker of the future could've saved the cindered sister
& I'm motioning still they stand inside me
& moments until the one I leave
colourless I kiss her cold forehead I feel life
loose it in a minute & the ones to come feel too far to care
& I'm motioning still they stand inside me
& moments until the one I leave
people concertina to my private magic lantern move for me
with the senses all inclusive in the theatre of triggered memories

holding out for a hero

where have all the good men gone
and where are all the gods?
where's the street-wise hercules
to fight the rise of odds?
isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
late at night i toss and turn and dream of what i need

i need a hero
i'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
he's gotta be strong
and he's gotta be fast
and he's gotta be fresh from the fight
i need a hero
i'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
he's gotta be sure
and it's gotta be soon
and he's gotta be larger than life

somewhere after midnight
in my wildest fantasy
somewhere just beyond my reach
there's someone reaching back for me
racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
it's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet

up where the mountains meet the heavens above
out where the lightning splits the sea
i would swear that there's someone somewhere
