GUNS AND HORSES STARRY EYED THIS LOVE (WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL) UNDER THE SHEETS THE WRITER

LOVE (WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL) UNDER THE SHEETS THE WRITER EVERY TIME YOU GO WISH I STAYED

You're so quiet Handle Bars Who are we to be emotional Like all the boys before You wait for a silence It starts with a picture Why can't we speak another language
But it doesn't faze me That I let go, let go Who are we to play with hearts I wait for a word And it sits in your frame One we all agree on
You're on time For anyone and throw away it all You left a blood stain on the floor Lie next to your frame And we part with a letter When men look outside,
You move so fast makes me feel lazy Take me in Who are we to turn each others heads You set your sights on him Girl unobserved And it ends in my name they see houses…instead of the fields
Let’s join forces And I'll throw out my heart Who are we to find ourselves You left a hand print on the door You change your position It starts with forever they grew from
We've got our guns and horses And get a new one in other people’s beds Like all the boys before, And you are changing me And it ends with a touch We are constantly uprooted from
I know you've been burned I don't like the way I never listen to myself like all the boys before Casting these shadows And I know that you're clever them…making us tiresome (and fearful)
But every fire is a lesson learned Next thing, we're touching I feel like I'm on fire, I'm too shy Where they shouldn't be And I don't ask for much Can you get up right now...
You look at me it’s like you hit me with to cry for help This is our luck baby, running out endeavour to freefall?
I left my house lightning Our clothes were never off We're interrupted by the heat of the sun Maybe we forgot all the things we are
Left my clothes I don't think you know me much at all We still have our roads to run about Trying to prevent what’s already begun when we are together You can fall if you want to!
Door wide open, heaven knows Oh To scale the map, scale the map, You're just a body It’s just a matter of how far…
That you're so worth it, Everybody's starry-eyed, This love is be and end all to get us back on track I can smell your skin Wake me up You've treasured our hometown,
You are and everybody glows This love will be your downfall And when I feel it, you're wearing thin Wake me up but you've forgotten where you are
Oh I'm feeling down about this love I’ve seen you in a fight you lost, Stop my fall And it will stay with you until your mind’s
But I wish I could feel it all for you Everybody's starry-eyed, I’ve seen you in a fight But I've got a plan Every time you go been found, and it has been found
I wish I could be it all for you and my body goes Who are you to make me feel so good Why don't you be the artist; Tape me up wondering around
If I could erase the pain Who are we to tell ourselves We're under the sheets and make me out of clay? Then break me up
Then maybe you'd feel the same So we burst that we're misunderstood and you’re killing me Why don't you be the writer Ever so gently With that skipping rope, the trampoline,
I'd do it all for you, I would Into colours Oh who am I to say I'm always yours In our house made of paper, and decide the words I say? When I'm my weakest the crafty smoke that made us choke
Colours Who am I to choose the boy that your words all over me Because I'd rather pretend Then it’s not so hard But we didn't give up hope
Let’s type words And carousels everyone adores We're under the sheets I'll still be there at the end Every time you go It's just the simple ways of getting paid,
Because they amount to nothing Fall head first I don't see a reason why and you’re killing me Only it’s too hard to ask... the carelessness of running away
Play it down Like paper planes and playground games we can't just be apart won't you try to help me You said I'm arresting I wish I stayed
Pretend you can't take what you found Now we're falling on each other Like all the boys before You said I had heat I wish I stayed
But you found me Next thing, we're touching like we're always in the dark Sat on your sofa...it’s all broken springs I really thought that we would go further
On a screen you sit at permanently You look at me it’s like you hit me with In here the world won’t bring us down This isn't the place for those violin strings The second time we'd meet Patterns all arranged in my background
lightning I don't think you warned me much at all Our plan is gold dust I try out a smile and I aim it at you Now I'm tired of trying to keep you Pillars and posts
I left my house Out there a lonely girl could drown You must have missed it All I want to do is sleep keeping this country on form
Left my clothes Oh This love is be and end all In here we're frozen You always do But perhaps when I'm sleeping Letters were all sent with no addresses
Door wide open Everybody's starry eyed, This love will be your downfall You'll get back on your feet so that people can't discover
Heaven knows and everybody glows Where did the people go? But I've got a plan That we're always under cover...
You're so worth it, you are Oh This love is not what you want My hands are empty Why don't you be the artist; Maybe we forgot all the things we were Why do I always draw triangles?
Everybody's starry eyed, This heart will never be yours You’re not the answer I should know and make me out of clay? when we were together Instead of the words this paper deserves
But I wish I could feel it all for you and my body goes This love is be and end all Like all the boys before, like all the boys Why don't you be the writer
I wish I could be it all for you This love will be your downfall before and decide the words I say? Wake me up I don't own my clothes but I own my mind,
If I could erase the pain Next thing, we're touching Because I'd rather pretend Wake me up and it’s not what you've lost
Maybe you'd feel the same Next thing, we're touching This love is be and end all We're under the sheets I'll still be there at the end Stop my fall but it’s what you find
I'd do it all for you, I would We come and we go This love will be your downfall and you’re killing me Only it’s too hard to ask... Every time you go I don't own my clothes but I own my mind,
but we're not in love In our house made of paper, won't you try to help me Tape me up and it’s not what you've lost
Next thing, we're touching your words all over me Then break me up but it’s what you find
We come and we go We're under the sheets You wait, I wait, casting shadows, Ever so gently
It’s time to come clean, but we're not in love and you’re killing me interrupted When I'm my weakest With that skipping rope, the trampoline,
And make sense of everything Next thing, we're touching You wait, I wait, casting shadows, Then it’s not so hard the crafty smoke that made us choke
It’s time that we found out who we are Next thing, you hit me with lightning We’re in a mess baby, interrupted Every time you go But we didn't give up hope
Cos when I'm standing here in the dark we’re in a mess babe You wait, I wait, casting shadows It's just the simple ways of getting paid,
I see your face in every star Oh Your more is less babe Maybe we forgot, are we awake, or not? the carelessness of running away
Everybody's starry-eyed, We’re in a mess baby, Why don't you be the artist; Maybe we forgot, are we awake, or not? I wish I stayed
But I wish I could feel it all for you and everybody glows we’re in a mess babe and make me out of clay? Maybe we forgot, are we awake, or not? I wish I stayed
I wish I could be it all for you Oh Your more is less babe Why don't you be the writer Maybe we forgot
If I could erase the pain Everybody's starry-eyed, and decide the words I say? You can fall if you want to!
Maybe you'd feel the same and my body goes We’re under the sheets Because I'd rather pretend Wake me up It’s just a matter of how far…
I'd do it all for you, I would and you’re killing me I'll still be there at the end Wake me up You've treasured our hometown,
I'd do it all for you In our house made of paper, Only it’s too hard to ask... Stop my fall but you've forgotten where you are
and your words all over me won't you try to help me Every time you go And it will stay with you until your mind’s
We’re under the sheets Tape me up been found, and it has been found
and you’re killing me Why don't you be the artist; Then break me up wondering around
(I’ve seen you in a fight you lost) and make me out of clay? Ever so gently
Like all the boys before, Why don't you be the writer When I'm my weakest With that skipping rope, the trampoline,
like all the boys before and decide the words I say? Then it’s not so hard the crafty smoke that made us choke
Because I'd rather pretend Every time you go But we didn't give up hope
We’re under the sheets I'll still be there at the end Every time you go It's just the simple ways of getting paid,
and you’re killing me Only it’s too hard to ask... the carelessness of running away
Our house full of paper, won't you try to help me I wish I stayed
and your words all over me I wish I stayed
We’re under the sheets
and you’re killing me

We’re under the sheets

and you’re killing me
In our house made of paper,
your words all over me
We’re under the sheets
and you’re killing me
YOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE I'LL HOLD MY BREATH SALT SKIN

Take cover Breathe air you're not used to, You're as sharp as a knife
Signs don't show tread floors you don't fall through and you fit like a glove
You drove me off the road Make waves... That is no way to live
You crash a symbol hard that is no way to love
But you let go Follow no one, Full of fear in your skin
Cos your hope is gone always play the wrong card and the weakness in giving in
And every question fades away Waste days, in foreign places
Shed light, on your better side Stabbed in the back but you feel no pain
It’s a shame you don't know Reassure me that you'll wait for me, Push the heaviest doors
what you're running from wait for me as long as it takes! that you can't open
Would your bones have to break Yeah they tied me up
and your lights turn off And I'll hold my breath, I'll hold my breath and my body lies still, again
Would it take the end of time
to hear your heart’s false start? Until you see me in your dreams You're as bright as the sun
We'll stay awake beneath the trees and as bold as the moon
You know this is your biggest mistake We'll watch the buildings turn to dust I don't know when you'll break
What a waste, what a waste, A floor of diamonds just for us but it’s gonna be soon
what a waste You are the risk I'll always take If my will caves in, I'll be in the same
And of all of the things The only branch I'll never break boat as you
you never explained Those fears we'll blow them all away
You know this is your biggest mistake I've got the salt skin
Fight fires in your best clothes, Running to where he is
You tread water touch skin with your eyes closed Never going to give in
Fighting for the air in your lungs Chase thunder… Even with the strength
Move With the volume down He's stealing salt skin
Move closer Pack a suitcase, wonder to the next town Telling me I'm winning wars they created
Maybe you can right all your wrongs Force quit, on your losing streak just to understand..."the meaning of"
Solve a riddle in a magazine,
But you let go be tongue in cheek Hands on strings and my mouth open
Cos your hope is gone Tell me that we're still too young, that Find the perfect words
And every answer fades away we're still too young and I'll hold my that I've not spoken
tongue And I won't tell the truth
It’s a shame you don't know unless you want me to
what you're running from Until you see me in your dreams
Would your bones have to break We'll stay awake beneath the trees For all of the times that I lost my head
and your lights turn off We'll watch the buildings turn to dust When it rolled to the floor
Would it take the end of time A floor of diamonds just for us and I found it again
to hear your hearts false start? You are the risk I'll always take But when it came back,
The only branch I'll never break I didn't know why own name
Wipe the mud stains Those fears we'll blow them all away
from the face stop the engine I've got the salt skin
Stop pretending Running to where he is
Wipe the mud spray I'm here, I'm here to save you Never going to give in
from your face stop the engine, No fall, I will swim to save you Even with the strength
Stop pretending, that you're still breathing He's stealing salt skin
Until you see me in your dreams Telling me I'm winning wars they created
We'll stay awake beneath the trees just to understand..."the meaning of"
We'll watch the buildings turn to dust
A floor of diamonds just for us I've got the salt skin
You are the risk I'll always take Running to where he is
The only branch I'll never break Never going to give in
Those fears we'll blow them all away Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created
just to understand..."the meaning of"
