swinging heart

Take it away
Away from me
If it's all falling apart,
I'm to blame for my swinging heart
They say she's gone again, back to the start.
When you send me your northen winds
Blowing away the good i feel from the bad i've seen
You bring me back to bed
Because you know they can't-
Call your favorite feeling their beautiful thing,
Let me sleep with him as long as i'm sleeping.
I'm keeping us apart,
They all blame it on my swinging heart,
I'm on a train to you,
They say she's home, they say she's back.

Get closer and try to sell me out,
Give me away, satisfy your lovers' doubts,
Careful now, she's staring but you're hypnotized
It's too late now, i can see it in your tired eyes.
When the stars align, this town's burning
Run fast with the hearts you stole
You will never be my king,
I know these streets by heart,
I own these walls like i own your name and i'm letting you win.

no way you possibly could


Soon enough you're out of luck and out of love,
Left them to take care of yourself,
We could be worse, but we're never at our best,
They don't really know when to let you rest,
They don't really know how to hold your face-
Maybe these streets are holding you down,
A little bit wiser here, they all know you can both be insane,
Maybe it's time you change your name again,
Because you start seeing yourself painting a room with him,
And it's never been a good sign,
When you start picturing
Oh when you start picturing
August on the deck
Your hands on my back
And mine on your neck,
Out of control again

Are you lost on the top of your mountain?
The wind pushing directions far away from where i'm standing,
And you forgot the advices your loved ones gave you,
Before you left the person you used to be
God you used to be something to see
You used to be something to see-
So take in the view
Chase the thought of me and you
Through the forest of what you try your hardest to forget,
Under your consciousness and far above

it's far behind you my love

you may turn me back into a child
But i hold my own
When you walk through that door
I hold my own
There are times i feel like this is right
There are times i feel like this is real
They are quick and hopeless-
but when they come around, they hit me hard in the face.

Anybody will help her see further,
than the balcony where her head is spinning
Breathing the air of a hometown she's already started hating
She's already starting, starting, starting.
But you know what to do, when your hands are on her
Falling off your high horses,
Taking off your layers
Like you clean your messes
Walking by the shore, but stranger you've never been to these places.

Because you failed her, over and over,
over
But the honest trust is that does not matter,
matter much, much to her

travelling

Looking so frail to me

Building imaginary bridges to your endless envy,

A few months and some days faithful to a fragile sobriety

Are you overcoming some adversity?

Is your troubled mind overcoming her, overpowering me



You're calling in the night, someone that can not hear,

Oh you're drawing in the night, a map to someone who desappeared

This is what you lost, on your way to the top,

Travelling alone- when she packed your bags, when she packed your life,

She's all you got. She was all you had



Let you use someone else's voice to tell this story,

Let you abuse a few of my words to get you where you want to be

Guiding you to a wall of people stabbing people' sympathy

Such a love, such a lie you're making at destination,

Away from your careless days at sea chasing inspiration

Reaching for talent, lost in translation

Reaching for talent, lost in translation.
