I get up early and my legs are aching
I get so nervous my hands start shaking
and the baby's teething and my ears are bleeding
I think Christmas came a little too early this year
But it's alright, it's all good I'm still here
Even If I'm crying on Sarah's bathroom floor
anxious and full of fear
Oh If the devil can find true love, then I can make it out of here

Stars

There's stars on the ceiling, stars in your eyes
I've never seen you drunk before, I've never seen you cry
But with that little bit of alcohol, a little bit fear
Your eyes tell me everything, they say kiss me right here
But I don't, I retreat- confidence has never been my style
Let's just watch the bands!?
They say it and then smile:
Our names with an ampersand, a push to move us closer.
Your eyes struggle to lock on me
I feel you falling over- this can't be over?
I guess it's what some people call the end.
There's stars hanging from you mantelpiece,
stars hanging from your sky
I've never seen you sober. I've never heard you lie
but with that little bit of alcohol, I push away my fear
In the garage I tell you everything, mopping up the spilt beers.
But when I do you retreat, treachery has never been your style
Let's just watch the bands?! fuck!? with been alone a while
In an indie tent playing shit tunes, the crowds push to move you closer
Your eyes struggle to lock on me, I feel you falling over
this can't be over?
I guess it's what some people call the end.
Me? I call it falling in love with your best friend.

Let's read your yearbook in the dark.
Where is Mark?
Cause he lives for shit like this.
They've all gone, gone to bed but in my head.
I'm a picture that you point to.
Like "Oh him? Sat in front. What a catch, What a dream he was"
Never thought It'd come true
Never thought I could have you.
With all my imperfections, why am I still here?
Staring in a mirror as my eyes well up with tears.
I just stand and grasp at moments.
Moments long since past and wonder if my heart still beats as fast.
And now we're walking in the park
Hear him bark! I still think that he's your favourite
Now we're back, back in bed but in my head
I'm a picture that you point to
Like "Oh him? What a wimp, what a selfish prick he was"
I just hope it don't come true.
Oh I hope I can keep you.

Blood

I'm anxious.
I'm anxious and empty
and I just thought I should let you know.
I'm bored.
I'm bored and bloody.
Just had to tell somebody and that someone is you
I'm going to beat myself to death with my own shoe
cause I don't want to become uninteresting to you
I'm depressed, I haven't slept, I'm a mess
For lack of better words. I'm unkempt.
I got this habit of putting scissors in my ear
and I push, I push, I push until it bleeds
I got this habit of not knowing the difference between
What I want and what I need.

I Want to Belive
02:21

I've got this 7" from this film I like
and it always makes me think of you
It's about the consequences of the mistakes we make
and fate...
But you don't believe in fate.
It's make me think of all the people I tried and tested
Before I found this final resting place
It makes me think of rainy cities and snowy landscapes
It makes me think about that look upon your face
that says..
You don't believe in fate.
Lets draw up a map of what-ifs and what could have beens
See where we wind up?
Cause I don't think we'd have got here
Without someone's help.
But still you don't believe in fate.

Sit in the Darkness
03:06

The wind moves the trees from my window
and a heavy rain falls on the ground
I'm trying my best to hear something
but I can't hear a sound
Over my beating heart
cause it's falling apart
Cause I'm spending the night with you
and I don't want I will do
as the wind and the rain pursues
God knows what? for God knows who?
It's just like that time I tried to pursue you
Shadowy figures in the lights in the distance
Live their tiny little life's
I can't see anything, I can't see through the lights
I can't see past you, and all those things that you do
You say I'm always tired, I say you're always pretty
Let's just sit in the darkness and try and figure this out.

Chicago Shellfish

Chicago is the home of emotion, and Paris is the city of love
So I'm not sure what we're doing here
in your living room, We should be out painting the town...
I forget that you get sad, sometimes as well
I could lay awake in your arms all day
but only your heart is my home..
So I'm not sure what we're doing here
In your living room, we should be out painting the town
Sometimes I feel like the enemy.
Sometimes I feel, like you're my only friend.

Will my sadness, ever come through in my songs?
Will these pills, ever bring me back my hope?
Will I have to grit my teeth, grin and bare these fucked up dreams.
I'm a fucking joke, I'm a sad romantic trope.
and I'm hollow. Hollow is how I feel.
And at work, I feel like Martin Sheen in Apocalypse Now
the choppers rage about my head, ready to take me down

could be one of those guys who tours all the time, but he likes baths far too much. So instead he stays in his room and makes lengthy albums of emotive lo-fi nonsense.
