GRAVITY
Went looking for
A bit of thunder
I was caught
In this story
From the first page
And you thought
You had me figured out
I was building a bridge
But you set it on fire
While I was daydreaming
You were round the corner
Sharpening the knives
A devil of my own doing
You were my gravity
My reality
Too much too soon
Too little too late
But still
I thought it'll never
Get better than that
I always thought
We'd get to forever
Thought your love
Would take me
Round the world
I was incessantly
Hungry in the night
I'm going to
Rescue myself
From this wildfire
Paint over the cracks
Raise hell
Pray my way out of
Cardinal sins
With someone else

SUMMER
The fever is rising
Didn't we have
This conversation
Once before
Still I did what I did
My soul
Is already sold out
A flash of light
Give me all the storms
Of yesterday
I miss his letters
They always
Made me smile
He's still around
Somewhere
An adder bite
The faded pages
Of summers
Long ago
I lost my patience
But then the impossible
Became reality
Now it's time
For every night
To get faster
Every thought
To get wilder
Did we ever even
Love each other
We can always unbreak
The promises
Touch the ground
It isn't steady anymore
I was just somebody
And you were
Everybody's dream
Every time
The mouth opens
The seven seas speak
I could give you a mirror
To see all
Of the disappointments
I can't tell
Who's fooling who
The clock in the tower
Strikes twelve
In the morning mist
I want to live again
Somewhere in Asia
They must know
How I feel
Drifting on the edge
Of the world
Well would you look at that
I made a hurricane
I know what a heart is
But I don't think
I have one
No feelings
And it doesn't mean a thing
Arrived like a day
Passed like a cloud
There really isn't anything
Left to say
All the time in the world
Going nowhere
On an autobahn
A headache in Amsterdam
It's good to be back
I swear I saw a smile
When I walked away
London nights
The fever is rising
Didn't we have
This conversation
Once before
Still I did what I did
My soul
Is already sold out
A flash of light
Give me all the storms
Of yesterday
I miss his letters
They always
Made me smile
He's still around
Somewhere
An adder bite
The faded pages
Of summers

But then the impossible
