Talk slow  Like walking on a tightrope  And where did all the time go? For a second Everything made sense and I know that I need to float  To go The belts out and soon enough the lights pound Swing me off my feet hold me from the ground Smiling warmly The big gloom dances round me  I might have found the missing piece  Would you tell me if you’re missing me? With a long kiss I can find the bit that ticks  I feel like I can move a bit Like reading from a movie script  The belts out and soon enough the lights pound Swing me off my feet hold me from the ground I feel like dancing I bought the way that you said it  Unfiltered and stark on the dim light  I know the feeling I felt it  I bought the way that you said it I bought the way that you're talking  Come on it’s mumbled so clearly  I feel like dancing  I feel like I can dance too but I never feel like dancing so Swing me off my feet (And I don't know what's what) Won’t you take me with you  (and I hope this is the end) I feel like I can dance too but I never feel like dancing so (Don't know if I can make it up again) Swing me off my feet (And I don't know what's what) Won’t you take me with you

Semaphore 03:52
All matched up Hairs dyed blond Pretending to know the waves​ Before the cars Semaphore Pick me up let's go down to his place Placing bets on ourselves  While we still thought we were brave Now chased by storms, the same old storms Self correct to the centre again Like oh, oh woah I remember it We lost our way Found the inhibition as kids The cool wind changed and glued your face To the palm of your broken hand Nostalgia swayed the golden days Forget the throws and the coming of age Somethings wrong Eyes went broad and you withdrew to your brain Like oh, oh woah And I hope that you're Not on your own I said I hope that you're Not on your own I remember it When you went green And everything went to shit Sirens sound at my front door Strapped you in yeah they took you away I remember it When you went green And everything went to shit Sirens sound at my front door Dad couldn't stop shaking his head I remember it When you went green And everything went to shit I remember when you went green How could I forget Help Flag for Help Use your arms Cause I can't hear your voice When i'm stuck on the shore Use your arms I swear I've missed Your cry, your voice, semaphore

Let It Slip 02:58
Get your hand off of me Let it slip that you might like it But you've been talking to him Trading lighters like it's nothing​ Pretend he doesn't know my name Don't break the gaze you shared now darling Let it slip that you loved him I feel it slip round my neck I would jump off a bridge Give up my name All you've gotta do is ask I won't ask you the same​ Throw the fight back to you I know you're running for your life now Back when the same kicked in I swore I'd see this through Blankets on our shoulders in that backyard way up north There's parts of me I hate But this headache is yours So go on slip off your ring And I will tie an arm around you Affection written in the sand Did it all go to fucking plan Cause I would jump off a bridge Give up my name Cause you don't really love me do you? I'll read the signs again Cause I've lost the way you gave me (Let it slip you might like it) I don't know who I am (Cause you've been talking to him) Those words, whispered clearly Fires littered, it's too late

Have you felt it? (I still feel it) Hasn’t hit yet? (I guess that’s it) I need to learn to be alone (It’s killing me on my own) And I miss you (Do you miss me) I wish I could call you (What I would do to hear your voice) It’s killing me to be alone (I’m learning how to be my own) I think I have blamed it all on you No ones gonna love you like I loved you Please can we talk? (Well I’m not sure) But I need to ask you something (Please can you leave me alone) I think I have blamed it all on you No ones gonna love you like I loved you I wish I could blame it all on you You need to move on there’s someone new I wish we knew what it was When you found me stuck in the mud  It won’t ever compare  To what it was when it was still there  I guess that’s it

Soak 04:05
Wring my neck if I’m breathing  Modestly so conceited Time flies through the air Who are you again? Take my head I don’t need it Hold my tongue ‘fore I eat it  Reflections breathe contempt Your eyes lay me bare And I’ll soak up everything even just the little words that spill How stupid of me to think that we could have been anything And, I’ll soak up everything even just the way you look at me  I, I am on my own But I, can’t be alone  Chew my thoughts and repeat it Talk until I believe them Take it to the edge  Caught up in your web So take my mind I don’t need it  Bite my tongue til it’s bleeding  Reflections breathe your air Your pain’s mine again And I’ll soak up everything even just the little words that spill How stupid of me to think that we could have been anything And I’ll soak up everything even just the way you look at me  I, I am on my own But I, can’t be alone  Said oh shut up please stop me from opening  This mouth of mine cause I don't know a thing Start to put up a wall, stop opening  Oh myself up to anyone or anything  I said oh shut up please stop me from opening  Oh this mouth of mine cause I don’t know a thing

Longlseeves 02:58
I'm wearing longsleeves now Call them films, without a cringing smile Look at me, trying to look another way Draw on my body Like it change your mind I've always wanted  To be someone else, but I've become a worse version of myself And all these memories I thought I'd burnt out of me They fix their eyes and pry from help You make me want to want to be something I fucking hate I'm wearing jewellery, proud Outside voice, and am I cool enough Look at me looking exactly the same Am I Somebody? And could it change your mind I've always wanted  To be someone else Now I've become a worse version of myself And all these memories I thought I'd burnt out of me They fix their eyes and pry from help You make me want to want to be something I fucking hate Quit learning how to love myself always I imitate So dance along this hole with me, there's no one I'd rather be Romanticise wanting to die is just no way to be

Lately 03:41
Lately I’ve been feeling so empty  So baby  Please help me get through this  I need you to hold me in your arms Lately  I’ve been waking so early  I’m trying  To fight the world off with my hands But my hearts not so strong Lately I’ve liked being Left on my own Lately I’ve been getting so angry  I’m tired Of trying so hard to do right When either way I’m wrong Lately I’ve been dreaming so much  So shake me  Wake me up from this nightmare The tightness in my chest Lately I’ve liked being  Left on my own Sometimes even I need space Not checking my phone Stop idolising my friends Just cause they’re old Really can’t trust anyone With the weight of my soul Well you lost me Well you lost me  Well you lost me  I’ve finally lost my voice
