Changes

Take your time he says
Build it up and take it down
It's me it's him it's her,
and it's never been fine-
Create harmonies
Voices of strangers put together
So your empty life sounds a little better
Does it sound somehow better?
Spend the change in your pockets
Towards the nights you'll most regret
To come back home to your memories at best.

Paris seul

bright lights

If i give up then just give in,

because it feels as i can't breathe

and all those planes taking off to songs

to words that don't mean anything real

It all feels so wrong,

all so wrong.

So i wrap my head around the idea that the love i had for you standing in your bedroom

has been buried in someone's inspired soul,

maybe they'll forgive you,

more than i ever will

maybe they'll see you in the bright light

i used to see your face in.

All those bright lights fading.

what if-

She's talking but all you can do is stare,
The way her eyelids open and close with such grace,
The million shapes her body takes,
oh we could try, do you believe we could,
Because sometimes i feel just as i'd die,
if i knew this is the way this ends for good.

I think and think again
You are summers, you are falls and we probably can,
Because if we count the times we put pieces back together
And the times i slept on your shoulder,
All the times i told you, look i'm in love,
The times i arrived, bags at your door,
When you said okay,
and i said d'accord
To fall on the floor
To watch a broken ring wrapped around your finger


Please wait,
Please wait
This kind of beauty is something i have never seen
And if you're now leaving,
Well i learned nothing at all
Take back the images in my head
Because the least you can do is make me forget your name
And all these days of us.

realities

Everything is going so fast,
and the cars full of strangers laughing seem like old photographs,
Old photographs of a life i used to live
things i used to do,
loves i used to feel
and the bottles spinning,
let's make each other all feel better
and forget this is a world away from our reality
people we want to be become and that we'll never really be,
i'll never fly to you or the foreign countries we meant to go to,
forever ago,
forever ago

You were like a kiss in the morning light,
Sometimes the weather would help, but most often it'd be just so bad
It brought back your flaws and marked your face with angry lines
Put your hands face down on the coffee table,
Please let today be mine
please let this be mine

it wasn't my honour in your hands
And those notes everywhere never helped.
it was not my honour in your hands
And your discrete falls behind closed doors never helped
