Yesterday we took a ride out to the water We got to know one another Something changed when we were out there Something clicked and I was aware Talking about last time we’d fallen Feeling myself becoming drawn in Then you told me where you’d be tomorrow night Found myself waiting for an invite Your body next to mine, dancing in the dark I don’t know my way around, you make me feel like part of it Your friend’s in the other corner, but you’re here with me It’s a matter of when, our lips are gonna meet Usually I’m deprecating, I’m self medicating The one hanging round waiting, but you You make me feel brand new And I wanna stay longer, so I can get to know you Usually I’m deprecating, I’m self medicating The one hanging round waiting, but you You make me feel brand new And I wanna stay longer, so I can get to know you Even though you spent the day with another girl I can feel you watching me (I can feel you watching me) You said it was too much with her, with me it could be simple Our fingers interlocking (fingers interlocking) Since the last time I saw you, you been on my mind Started following me, made yourself easy to find But we’re not playing any games, straight up I want to see you I’m leaving town soon, I know you feel it too Usually I’m deprecating, I’m self medicating The one hanging round waiting, but you You make me feel brand new And I wanna stay longer, so I can get to know you Usually I’m deprecating, I’m self medicating The one hanging round waiting, but you You make me feel brand new And I wanna stay longer, so I can get to know you Willing this thing to stay with me Feeling it all for what it could be Closing my eyes I know you’re still there And I’m wanting it more than I can bear Hold it in when you say you’re going Keep this ache of mine from showing Know I can get it ‘cause I got it bad My favourite thing I never had Usually I’m deprecating, I’m self medicating The one hanging round waiting, but you You make me feel brand new And I wanna stay longer, so I can get to know you Usually I’m deprecating, I’m self medicating The one hanging round waiting, but you You make me feel brand new And I wanna stay longer, so I can get to know you

My skin is heating up Trying to keep myself guarded Know I should shut this down early Before things can really get started You tell me off when I’m on one Don’t let me talk shit about myself Make me feel full up on something I swear this is good for my health And then we’re both in the bathroom late, just two friends turning in for the night I watch you, not seeing me like that, it’s a lie to myself not an oversight I’m keeping you up, my arms sit on your shoulders Wish I could open you up, wish I could just unfold ya Nobody knows it’s you who I’m here for Nobody knows that it’s you who I want breathing down my neck I could stay up all night Just to listen to how much you’re missing her I’ll be your right hand man Been through it all, I’m the heartbreak whisperer But I’m the type to hold it down Keep it together, pull you up off the floor Not gonna start up something messy I don’t do anything risky anymore And then we’re both in the bathroom late, just two friends turning in for the night I watch you, not seeing me like that, it’s a lie to myself not an oversight I’m keeping you up, my arms sit on your shoulders Wish I could open you up, wish I could just unfold ya Nobody knows it’s you who I’m here for Nobody knows that it’s you who I want breathing down my neck Holding out for what could happen if we just stay up later Wake up feeling like a fool cos I’m not even on your radar Gather everything up, I brace myself to reign it in Reign it in I’m keeping you up, my arms sit on your shoulders Wish I could open you up, wish I could just unfold ya Nobody knows it’s you who I’m here for Nobody knows that it’s you who I want breathing down my neck

Once upon a time I thought I could save your life Out of control while you tried to defend it Once upon a time just me and you on this ride But with each other we were never pretending Once upon a time I thought I could save your life Out of control while you tried to defend it Once upon a time just me and you on this ride But with each other we were never pretending Congratulations, you grew up quicker We applaud each other, feeling like we both lost out Congratulations, your skin got thicker We began this judging each other, that’s how we’ll go down I tried to hold out, tried to wait for you to tell me Your life is changing and I’m not going with you You think I’ve sold out, that the city got the best of me You think all I want is to tell you what to do And then I guessed it, like a stranger to you now Defences both went up and I made sure you saw me hurting And I confessed it, if that changes things somehow So I could be the one who’s reaching, and you’re the one deserting Congratulations, you grew up quicker We applaud each other, feeling like we both lost out Congratulations, your skin got thicker We began this judging each other, that’s how we’ll go down So we’re at pleasantries, we’re in groups and that’s at best Take a break from one on one girl, just give it all a rest I try hold it back, don’t bring it up, the taste is bitter Cos you told me to go while you called me a quitter Congratulations, you grew up quicker We applaud each other, feeling like we both lost out Congratulations, your skin got thicker We began this judging each other, that’s how we’ll go down

I return to every place I leave behind Try to replay, cos I can’t rewind I get flashes, little pictures in my chest Try to hold them close, how much time do I have left I am the ghost, I protect the halls of this home Another 3am, things get quiet When something terrible happens, I wanna call you Just to hear you say my name down the line When it’s not only me who feels like the world is ending If I’m honest I see it as a sign Call your sister, get some sleep Catch yourself in the mirror, breathe deep You’re gonna be here ‘til it stops You’re not the only one, who keeps getting it all wrong You’re not the only one, feeling like they’re not at home It’s picking up now, starting to roll on I guess Another routine, in a crisis And I am longing, to join you all inside I am patient, I’ve waited years for all this to subside I’ve mostly kept things dignified, and I retreat when we collide When something terrible happens, I wanna call you Just to hear you say my name down the line When it’s not only me who feels like the world is ending If I’m honest I see it as a sign Call your sister, get some sleep Catch yourself in the mirror, breathe deep You’re gonna be here ‘til it stops When something terrible happens, I wanna call you Just to hear you say my name down the line When it’s not only me who feels like the world is ending If I’m honest I see it as a sign Call your sister, get some sleep Catch yourself in the mirror, breathe deep You’re gonna be here ‘til it stops

Shame 03:58
Work on protecting myself Let go of this persistence Stay strong means that you feel it Say my goodbyes from a distance Work on holding it together But release this need in me Stay strong means that you let go Of what you think others see And I’m deep enough to admit that I miss you Grown enough to know you do too Shame, enough to take me out quietly ‘til I can come to my own rescue I feel it live in my body I know it’s deep in my soul I’m waking up with it heavy Spinning out of control I feel it live in my body I know it’s deep in my soul I’m waking up with it heavy Spinning out of control Ooh, you’re gonna live with it, you gotta learn to live with it How you gonna deal with it Ooh, you’re gonna live with it, you gotta learn to live with it How you gonna deal with it Work on accepting myself Let go of likability Stay strong means you can take it Without this state of fragility Work on giving up one thing Try to take up another Stay strong means that you care Without being someone’s mother And I’m deep enough to admit that I miss you Grown enough to know you do too Shame, enough to take me out quietly ‘til I can come to my own rescue I feel it live in my body I know it’s deep in my soul I’m waking up with it heavy Spinning out of control I feel it live in my body I know it’s deep in my soul I’m waking up with it heavy Spinning out of control Stay strong, feel it and let go Stay strong take it cos you know Being wrong is disconcerting But you are capable of hurting Stay strong, feel it and let go Stay strong take it cos you know Being wrong is disconcerting But you are capable of hurting I feel it live in my body I know it’s deep in my soul I’m waking up with it heavy I feel it live in my body I know it’s deep in my soul I’m waking up with it heavy Spinning out of control

I’m too fast and I’m too furious I’ve said it all, said enough for the both of us I’m face up, I’m arms stretched out Walk away knowing that I could never make you proud Maybe I can work myself up, could you give it another try Maybe I can say I don’t care what you think, til it’s not a lie Wading out in the deep end I become aware nobody’s following Staying up ‘til it’s silent Somehow full, but I’m hollowing I’m feeling it more like perseverance Than anything useful Calling it love when it’s just adherence Can we be truthful You say nothing I keep saying more, I can’t stop apologising You say nothing I refresh, pull it back, try catch you on an upswing I’m too fast and I’m too furious I’ve said it all, said enough for the both of us I’m face up, I’m arms stretched out (arms out) Walk away knowing that I could never make you proud Maybe I can work myself up, could you give it another try Maybe I can say I don’t care what you think, til it’s not a lie Maybe I can work myself up, could you give it another try Maybe I can say I don’t care what you think, til it’s not a lie Tryna to be better but I’m only Messing up everything, I know That we all say we’re learning But to you, I’m just lessening I’m feeling it more like perseverance Than anything useful Calling it love when it’s just adherence Can we be truthful Feel it slipping away, can’t take anything slow Said you wanted the time, said you wanted to go Put it back in my court I’ll play another round Think I’d give anything, just to make you feel proud I’m too fast and I’m too furious I’ve said it all, said enough for the both of us I’m face up, I’m arms stretched out (arms out) Walk away knowing that I could never make you proud Maybe I can work myself up, could you give it another try (maybe, maybe) Maybe I can say I don’t care what you think, til it’s not a lie Maybe I can work myself up, could you give it another try (maybe, maybe) Maybe I can say I don’t care what you think, til it’s not a lie

I know I can get myself up if I hit the ground I can try to be the one, never off and on if it’s Me who’s gonna carry us on I know I can heat a room up if I just turn down I can try to be the one, never off and on if it’s Me who’s gonna carry us on And I think I could be alone and still be someone I think I could be alone and still be someone I think you can be alone and still be someone I think you can be alone and still be someone I think we can be alone and still be someone I think we can be alone and still be someone I think I could be alone and still be someone I think I could be alone and still be someone I think I could be alone and still be someone I think I could be alone and still be someone I think I could be alone and still be someone I think I could be alone and still be someone

Shameless 03:28
I’m out on the edge again, the one where I wait for you to show up and do something Take some action, put your foot down, tell them you’re leaving ‘Cause I have come to notice my confidence is compromised Never been so important the same time as I’m undermined You only want to speak if it’s to tell me how I’ve lost my mind I’m out on the edge again, the one where I wait for you to show up and do something Take some action, put your foot down, tell them you’re leaving I’m right up again this time, I hate how it always seems to be a race with you Take some action, put your foot down, tell them you forfeit Expect me to teach you, you never learn you Keep your hands clean you, take every turn Tell me how I’ve made a mistake, how I’ve lost my mind Have you considered the ways that you have crossed a line I’m back in the dark again, the place I wait for you to show up and say something Take action, put your foot down, tell them you feel it I’m holding my breathing again, the only thing that I can stop from giving you Take action, put your foot down, now I’m disappearing Expect me to teach you, you never learn you Keep your hands clean you, take every turn Tell me how I’ve made a mistake, how I’ve lost my mind Have you considered the ways that you have crossed a line

Hit it Hard 03:14
Somethings I get choked up that I’m pulled too thin Same time I look down on all the ways people are settling I try to move on, the things I am proud of Take my eyes off everyone, grow up get out I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far Get pulled in by little things that comfort me Try to keep up, try maintain integrity I try hold onto people I think get it Take my mind off making it grow up get out I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far ‘til it hits me like water, how I’ve separated myself off How deep down scared that I’ve lost What’s important, that I don’t know what it’s like to be loved It didn’t work this time, it didn’t work this time It didn’t work this time, it didn’t work this time It didn’t work this time, it didn’t work this time I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far I sent myself away to release but I hit it too hard and I took it too far

My Limits 04:14
I’ve got my limits I’ve learned my limits I push the limits I look at others’ limits When you find a city you can just settle in When you find somewhere you can just listen in Friend in the other room, falling asleep Cos they’re making it big and they’ve found their feet And together, you’re slowing down I’ve got my limits I’ve learned my limits I push the limits I look at others’ limits So it heats up, and we come down I know I missed your birthday and I come round Make a phone call to you, know you wanna hear me We still click so good, I’ll admit it’s easy But it feels good telling you I’m gonna hang up I’ve got my limits I’ve learned my limits I push the limits I look at others’ limits You go on ahead, I’ll be behind you Can’t focus if I’m beside you Find a spot for me to grow You keep finding love in other places I’ll keep moving change my paces Find a rhythm on my own But I still feel it there when I hear your voice When I see your ex, when I make the choice To ignore your messages I’ve got my limits I’ve learned my limits I push the limits I look at others’ limits
