Scissors cut your angel curls
 Glitter on the bathroom pearl
 Buzzcut boredom, we were bored
 Deja vu, a basement day 
How you make me levitate
 Won’t you stay and play one more
 Whisper at the piano 
And you know all the secret codes
 Don’t you know it’s getting late but there’s no talk of leaving
 It’s the only way I know But it’s not the way to go
 Catch the wave and fall down 
It’s the only way I know
 But it’s not the way to go 
Catch the wave and fall down 
Showing up in August rain ,
Go in love and fall insane 
With you inside the window glow
 There’s only so long I can stay
 A couple hundred miles away
 I had to see you
I had to know
 Oh fortune don’t you favour the bold?
 Wear your heart on your sleeve
 And you’ll never go cold
It’s the only way I know
 But it’s not the way to go
 Catch the wave and fall down
2.
On a bridge between two countries
 On the other side of the world 
I am thinking of my first life 
When I left I gave no warning 
I said nothing at all
 And when I returned it was
te an
 unrecognizable thing
 But it did not stop me
 I mistook people for places
 And I lived in many houses 
I knocked on many doors 
And I loved them
I loved all of them
 And I loved them
I loved all of them
 But it did not stop me
 No it did not stop me
 The place that we are missing
 The one that we all long for
Is not a place
 It is a time
 that exists in your memory
 And nowhere else
It is a fog
It is an outline
 It could be a lesson, except 
I learned nothing
I learned nothing at all
 I learned nothing
I learned nothing at all
 But it did not stop me 
No it did not stop me

Hey there modern man 
I see your vision of me
 Oh I'm a helpless one But no guarantees
 You're telling me
 You don't believe
 I'd do it again 
And I'd do it for free
 Tell me when you dream
 Do you dream yourself awake 
And every time you give
 Do you wish that you could take
 Tell me when you dream 
Do you dream yourself awake 
And every time I bend
 Do you wish that I would break
 Hey there modern man
I see your vision of me
 Oh I'm a helpless one 
But no guarantees
 Remember me baby
 The merciful me
 What I could have done 
How I let you be
 My moment of grace
 When I let you be weak
 When I did not destroy
 Which I will not repeat
 Tell me when you dream
 Do you dream yourself awake
 And every time you give 
Do you wish that you could take Tell me when you dream
 Do you dream yourself awake
 And every time I bend 
Do you wish that I would break
 Every time you give
 Do you wish that you could—
 Your one and only
 Aren't I lovely
 You can't forget me baby
 The merciful me
 What I could have done 
How I let you be
 You're telling me 
You don't believe
 That I'd do it again
 And I'd do it for free

Give me everything you have
 Bring what you can hold
I can make a space 
Love, I know you must be tired
 To travel all this way
I’m happy to accommodate you
In this house
 All I have is yours to give
In this house
 You never have to leave
 You and me
 Traveling this empty road alone
 But I can see 
A place for us to make ourselves a home 
And oh my god 
I could fall in love with you
 Oh my god
Tell me what I have to do
 Here’s the place where we will rest 
And happily we’ll die
 After years of summertime 
Here’s the place where we will love
 And here is where we’ll cry
 For the ones we leave behind
In this house 
All I have is yours to give
In this house
 You never have to leave 
You and me
 Traveling this empty road alone 
But I can see
 A place for us to make ourselves a home
 And oh my god 
I could fall in love with you
 Oh my god 
Tell me what I have to do
In this house 
In this house
In this house
 Oh—
You and me 
Traveling this empty road alone 
But I can see 
A place for us to make ourselves a home 
And oh my god 
I could fall in love with you
 Oh my god
 Tell me what I have to do 
To fall in love with you
 In this house 
In this house

5.
A shower of some charming blooms 
And small flying bugs, too
 Swirl around
 Like low hanging fruit 
For the bats at night that scared you 
You live my dream
 And I will always run to you
 Out in the tall grass
 Hiding like a small grouse
 Moving fast
Like low hanging clouds
 Overhead while we drove South 
You live my dream
 And I will always run to you
6.
And break
 Then you turn back to nothingness
 Never meant to hold on 
Do you only see projections 
Believe everyone 
Then you turn back to nothingness 
Never meant to hold on
 Never meant to hold on too long 
Ricochet round and around
 Sliding up the walls and
 Falling down 
Every day bleeds to the next 
Give me your love
 And I’ll give it a rest
 And break
 Then you turn back to nothingness 
Never meant to hold on 
Do you only see projections
 Believe everyone
 Then you turn back to nothingness
 Never meant to hold on
 Never meant to hold on too long
 Catapult, you see the future 
Washed out in smoke 
Bleary eyed 
I missed the joke, am I the punchline 
Am I just shit broke or are we fine
 And break 
Then you turn back to nothingness 
Never meant to hold on
 Do you only see projections
 Believe everyone
 Then you turn back to nothingness
 Never meant to hold on 
Never meant to hold on too long
