you're the distance of a decade, they can't bring you down
you're eyes are so much more, than just a delicate brown
it's funny how things change in just the space of a day
you've got so much to say in such a beautiful way
noone knows what theyre doing its a great place to start
just don't keep your guns in the back of your heart
and don't ever doubt that you're a work of art, i would know
there's colour and there's sadness in the things that you've seen
it's really something special to land on your feet
you're a dear, you're a season, you're a boat, you're a bird
you're too much for a song and i'm all out of words
chorus
you could never live inside your castle of paperbacks

Better (Live)

staring at my phone waiting for you to text
trouble is my lover that i don't think we've met
think i need to spend a little time on my brain
how odd to feel alone surrounded by people who feel the same
my room is probably cold
i've been gone longer than i know
and i'm trying to better 'cause i'd like to be better than this
and i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone you'd miss
i'm much too much of a mess to put you at ease
i'd like to feel again but i'm afraid of things like these
all i've got's burnt fingers and a crick in my back
i'm hoping you'll forget about the qualities i lack
my room is probably cold
i've been gone longer than i know
and i'm trying to better 'cause i'd like to be better than this
and i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone you'd miss
almost missed my train, won't you hold the door
would you miss my name, if i left the floor
thought i would be better than this, than before
thought i would be better equipped, by twenty four
my room is probably cold
i've been gone longer than i know
and i'm trying to better 'cause i'd like to be better than this
and i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone
i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone
i'm trying to be better 'cause i'd like to be someone
you'd miss

Arms (Live)

i read that i was
supposed to grow out of
songs about cold hands and cigarettes
i'm losing this game
love the taste of your name
and he said that you had witchcraft on your lips
it's not a race darling we're just walking holding hands
and when you say you're bitter trust me love, i understand
but i believe in love cause i've felt it
and i believe in love cause i've held it
in my arms
i try but the fact is
i'm driving distracted
and i need you here with me
the colour caught me feeling
i'm moving make-believing
that you're in the passenger seat
it's not a race darling we're just walking holding hands
and when you say you're bitter trust me love, i understand
but i believe in love cause i've felt it
and i believe in love cause i've held it
in my arms
maybe we'd be a good fit
we're both so bad at this
maybe we could fix things
so you keep a hold of my heart strings
maybe we'd be a good fit
we're both so bad at this
and maybe we could fix things
so you could keep a hold of me
i'm not doing great
i'm a maze of mistakes
won't you please find a way to the heart?
wire then earth it
i can't promise i'm worth it
i think i just need to get past the start
it's not a race darling we're just walking holding hands
and when you say you're bitter trust me love, i understand
but i believe in love cause i've felt it
and i believe in love cause i've held it
in my arms

His Thermos Song (Live)

he says he's watching time tick on
he says he's waiting to belong
i hope that he stays strong
i said you deserve more than that,
you deserve a kind heart and a flat
still sea
he said i know but so did she
he says he's sitting on the sidelines
waiting on the good times
i hope the weather's fine
chorus
he's got his thermos full of tea
and days of possibility
i hope the trains aren't running late

Felt Something (Live)

just like me
anticipating lines in her forehead
hoping that age brings on ease
cold bare feet
she's walking fresh grass over the bed
some kind of do as you please
and i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
no i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
sweet and spice
wove into my clothes in her sleep
nothing a bottle could hold
don't think twice
i took away nothing to keep
left her the secrets i told
chorus
I wish that i knew the words,
that she said
when she was knocking at the door
but only the night heard
what she said
when she was knocking at the door
not quite wild
she's thistle and mist in the morning
she's something I dont understand
like a child
pretending i know what i'm doing
I’m scared of a comforting hand
and i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
no i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
no i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
no i don't always feel something
but i felt something then
