Lover
When we move at the same time
Oh lover
You
You break my heart
Even in my sleep
I'm so sorry
I guess we were less
Not so much
(Is it?)
It's not what I thought
You have your own big life too
And I've been told I don't need you

I'm not sure I'll be alright
Still feel fuzzy I think I did my best to drown myself last night
I'm not sure my body's fine
But I think it's funny, I like to see what I can survive
Oh oh oh etc.
Not sure what I sent last night
Might have scared you but please don't worry
I still woke up alive
I still miss you every night.
I feel so alone(!)
But all these loud noise and full cups save my life
There's fire in my throat
And everyone is singing the same song
I can't feel your hands or you speaking
Morning comes, I'm drowned, I'm gone
I'm gone
So I'll just take my time on my own
It's strange back in my room I'm still not quite at home
Have you ever felt restless for all the days of your life?
I just wanna be back home.
Certain songs make me stop in place
Certain drinks make me move again
Certain people all in love when we're drunk
Can you stay? Keep me distracted.
Distracted

I'm in love with everyone that I see
It's quite a change from hating everything
I still switch between the two some nights
I'm at odds with every dream that I keep
Some nights I just do my best not to sleep
And I still wish you'd picked me up that night
Sometimes I think that you say things you don't mean
Or only do in that one moment you're speaking
You break my heart so easily now, it seems now
That I have no home left to go to
Now I'm only sober half the time
And if you're sick of that get in line
(save my life, save my life, save my life, save my life)
You should see me again some time
I can't be anywhere tonight
(save my life, save my life, save my life, save my life)
I can't be anyone tonight.
It took such few words then to break me in two
I'm not sure that one word you said was true
But you should have trusted me that night
Hadn't seen color like you in a while
But all that it stood for was lost in the miles
Still, that color will always be yours.
I could never wear it right
Do you think of me some nights?
(think of me, think of me)
Do you think of me?
Yeah I know that it's not right
(think of me)
And I wish I could get right
(think of me, think of-)
Now all my words here are lost on me
My metaphors and mythologies
All that I hold dear to me
No I can't make it this way
(no I can't make it this way)
(I should not make plans)
What do you want me to say?
(think of me, think of me, think of me)
(I should not make plans)
'Cause every time I remember
It changes your shape
And starts to replace
The things I knew of you
You know I wish it wasn't true
(Oh can't you come put me in my place again)
I'm not so careful my love
(Oh can't you, oh can't you, h can't you, oh can't you, oh can't you
come put me in my place again)

Did I really get so much of you that night?
The last I saw you
I remember my first late drive home without you
Well I guess it was me
That made myself so lonely
Made up my own world in my head
And I guess it was me
Always loving in a hurry
But only thinking of you instead
Can i just go back to where I was before?
Before I felt so out to dry
Can I just go back to when I still resented you
Without a better reason why
(I know I don't have a reason why)
So I'll go blind
Fuck it all
All I should be far and over
(So I'll go blind)
Fuck it all
Everything I have to tear myself from now
Just wait just wait it gets better just wait okay that's what they say
so I keep waiting on you
just waiting on you
Just wait just say okay it's out of our control I have to let you go now
Don't be so low now
Don't be so low now
Low now
Just wait just
Just wait just wait
Low now
Just wait just wait
Low now
Don't be so low now

I see your brown, ochre and white.
I see the brown in your eyes.
I see your brown, ochre and white.
I see the brown in your eyes.
I see your brown, ochre and white.
I see the brown in your eyes.
I see your brown, ochre and white.
I see the brown in your eyes.
I see your brown, ochre and white.
I see the brown in your eyes.
