Stick Around

it's only human to want the calm of driving nowhere
fall asleep by the seat of someone who cares
never mind when we get there
there are so many places i wanna see
still looking for that space between one and three
still trying to work out what any of it means
so let's stick around
let's stick around
long enough to find out
there's this thing in my chest, skipping in circles
it's looking for blues, and tripping over purples
never mind all these hurtfuls
give me something i can feel with my hands
peeling paint of our own front door or that first slow dance
someday we'll have more than just plans

Back of My Hand (Live)

i don't know
why october's not right in the south but it's true
in london your bones
feel a different kind of cold
than up here
it feels wrong
my voice doesn't echo the ground that i came from
and i'm sorry the rules
of those classist grammar schools
stole my tongue
they don't understand the scars left here by those southern hands
that you can still feel it
i know like the back of my hand
and i know who you made me and you know who i am
we're still around
my dad told me the world has survived worse than this
those straight lies of blue
and they're coming for you
all the time
when i came home they said i didn't smell the same
i miss the woodsmoke in my clothes and the sound of the rain
and if i belong to anything at all it's these people
and this place
