Buried Alive

Got the weight of the world on your shoulders
Got your priorities all wrong
And the way that you smile, you’re all teeth and no grin
Just let your hair down, let your hair down, let your hair down

You’re buried alive in all of it
Come up for air sometime soon or you might miss this

You think that life is measured in gold stars
Hell, you’ve got a galaxy in just one chapter of your story
But there’s more to life than conquering the madness
Just let your hair down, let your hair down, let your hair down

CHORUS

Delicate Love

Part of me keeps hesitating
Dismiss my own happiness, prepare for the apocalypse
It’s not like I can just switch you off
You’re so hard to resist when I can still taste your lips

You’re my imminent disaster
A ticking bomb in disguise
So I’m busy estimating
Our demise

I don’t want you to go
Breathe this in, memorise the touch of your skin
But the sharks are circling

My heart is scared to love you
Reaching out but consumed by doubt
I have tried to switch it off
But it’s sunk in, can’t shed that skin

Fighting off disaster
Kill the monsters in disguise
I’m hoping this delicate love will survive

I don’t want you to go
Breathe this in, memorise the touch of your skin
This love is fragile, don’t be hasty now
This love is fragile, this love, this love

Fire

I’ve been watching the paint dry on the walls
Grey clouds keep rolling in, fogging my thoughts
I miss feeling electric, feeling so alive
I’m a rainstorm but my lightning’s trapped inside

I can see the fire burning bright
If I stood closer I could catch alight
I can see the fire burning bright
If I stood closer I could catch alight

It seems winter will go on forever
All dark clothes and cold stares
There’s no warmth anywhere
I miss feeling electric, feeling alive
I’m a night sky, waiting for the sun to rise

CHORUS

I can see the fire burning bright
Locked inside but I just might
Move a little closer to the light
I could catch it, I could

I can see the fire burning bright
Locked inside but I just might
Move a little closer to the light
I could catch it, I could catch alight

CHORUS

Hollow

I was living my life in slow motion
Stuck in my ways, I was frozen
I was fixated on things I could not change
Stuck in the past, playing mind games

Ooh darling, you mean everything to me
Ooh darling, I used to dream of this kind of loving
The wild air is in my lungs, finding it hard to swallow
Before I met you my heart was hollow

I was sleepwalking through my days
Stuck in a maze, I could not escape
I was so bitter and broken
Stuck in the mud, tasting words left unspoken

CHORUS

Waiting

Sometimes I wonder,

If my walls caved in, would you rescue me?
Pull me out from the debris and wrap your arms around me?

Ooo

Sometimes I lie awake
Staring into the dark, hearing my weary heart ache for you
Sending Morse code messages through my blood

Ooo
Ooo

Baby I was waiting for so long
I was shutting down
Hoping you’d come around

Sometimes I just can’t recall
The strength in your arms and scent of your skin at all
It’s slipping away from me…

Your smart-arse remarks, curls in your hair
Swagger of your smile and secrets we shared
Your love of Chinese food and board game afternoons
Was once on my mind, but it’s fading all the time

CHORUS x2

If I don’t ask, you can’t refuse
If I don’t speak, you can’t ignore me
Give you options, you might choose
To destroy me
Oh

CHORUS x4

Whiplash

It’s so hard
To hear you laughing like that
I’m so happy you’re happy
But it makes me
Remember back
To our past
When our love was brand new
You said you’d love me forever
Is that still true?

Just when I think that I’m over it
You keep on coming around
Just when I think that I’m over you
You keep pulling my head round

You’re giving me
You’re giving me
You’re giving me
You're giving me whiplash ohhh

I don’t trust myself around you
All our goodbyes ended in
I love you

Just when I think that I’m over it
You keep on coming around
Just when I think that I’m over you
You keep pulling my head round

CHORUS

I thought the door was closed
I thought our ties were cut
I thought I’d let it go
I thought I’d had enough

I thought the door was closed
I thought our ties were cut
I thought I’d let it go
But obviously not

You’re giving me
You’re giving me
You’re giving me
Oooh

CHORUS x2
