I was the one, wouldn't hold you tight
I was the one putting up the fight
And we talk of all this bullshit
That we see on TV and in movies
No one taught me how to do this
So we'll do it your way
'Cause you seem to know what you're doing

As the scenery rolled past
Your head rested against the glass
Your hand in mine
He reads the times
Laughing behind, you're asleep
The weather outside soaked your shirt
You bought a suit for work
Your hand in mine
He fills crossword lines
Tracks intertwine, you're awake
As you slumber you hear
Sexy time playlist in your ear
We share the headphones and disappear
Tracks last for hours my dear

Roll
03:12

Roll over and turn out the light
Fall asleep by your side
I'm tired of playing this silly game
Roll over and turn out the light
Love must have its last night
I'm wide awake, a stupid mistake
Roll over and turn out the light
I love you...
Roll over and turn out the light
Hold your tongue out of spite
Apologise, tears in our eyes
Roll over and turn out the light
I love you...
Roll over and turn out the light
Hide your face out of sight
When morning breaks will we be ok?
Roll over and turn out the light

Covers

On the covers I lay wondering how I had found
On the pillow your face, wondering without a sound
Had settled for less than what I truly deserved?
Had I received your embrace heart in my chest yet reserved?
How did it, how did it, how did it end with you?
How did I, how did I, how did I cave into you?
This doubt, so unfair, you could love another as could I
On the covers I stay
On the covers I stay

Window

Throw your window wide and cry
Oh! I can't go on
Throw your window wide and cry
Oh no!

Armies
04:29
|
|||
Like branches, we break
Like robbers, we take
Wrapping round each other
Simply for strength
We embrace like lovers
We're not there yet
Like armies, we face
Like courtiers, we grace
Sizing up each other
To win the race
We embrace like brothers
We're not there yet
When you walk all over me
I get so mad I can't speak
I retreat 'till you can't see
Democratic appeasement

Slumber
03:49
|
|||
You're asleep, dreaming, hoping
Silent, slumbering, corner
Meet me, inbetween, lover
Hold you, warm breath, shoulder
Cradled touching, pulsing
Cold night, outside locked door
Reconnect frayed lines, hold tight
I'm asleep, love you
