Sleeping Habits

You’re keeping me awake

Do you know that?

I can’t take

The way you say my name,

Do I make that clear?

I resist til I fall,

And the dress comes down,

And the smile comes out.

 

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

Being in love with you, like being in bed with you,

I’m on fire all the time, you’re to blame.

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

 

But she said, that you and her had some of your own.

I’m not so cool with that, but I guess you still get what you want,

And I still lie awake, in my own salt water,

Waiting for the sun to break.

Yeah she told me what you said, what you said to her,

And I couldn’t speak.

You said,

 

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

Being in love with you, like being in bed with you,

I’m on fire all the time, you’re to blame.

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

 

I can’t take the way you my name,

Do I make that clear?

I resist til I fall,

And the dress comes tumbling down.

I’m laying in your palm, there’s no one else around.

Maybe I could close my eyes, for just one minute.

One minute alone.

 

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

Being in love with you, like being in bed with you,

I’m on fire all the time, you’re to blame.

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

 

My dreams have clouded me,

I’m so much worse than I used to be.

Sleep deprived, I lost my mind,

And I shouldn’t have over you.

 

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

Being in love with you, like being in bed with you,

I’m on fire all the time, you’re to blame.

These sleeping habits will kill us, I have faith.

Candle Spark

When I love you more than life itself,

I’m sure then I will die.

But when that last breath leaves me,

Just know you’ll be on my mind.

 

Love is a bullet,

Love is a knife,

It’s a candle spark in you,

Bringing you towards the light.

 

When I need you more than everything else,

I know I’ll never be satisfied,

With the long hellos and the short goodbyes,

But it’s wanting that’s keeping this fire alive.

 

Love is a bullet,

Love is a knife,

It’s a candle spark in you,

Bringing you towards the light.

 

And it grows slowly,

Like an oak tree,

My leaves just stretching for your sun,

And I move quickly,

And when I bend towards you,

I know that you’re the one.

 

Love is a bullet,

Love is a knife,

It’s a candle spark in you,

Bringing you towards the light.

Take Me Away

When  I met you I was buried in my misery

For no reason but that I could only crawl

No spine to speak of, no one to comfort me

And now you give me wings to get over that wall

 

You asked me how fast I could run

I said how fast can you chase me

 

I’m here now, never again,

Burn this building down, full of my sins.

I’m leaving now, never again,

Will you find me here, oh take me away.

 

When you met me I was drowning in myself

Clawing for life that could one day rescue me

But I found you in this hell

You are the best thing, the only thing with meaning.

 

You asked me how fast I could run

I said how fast can you chase me

 

I’m here now, never again,

Burn this building down, full of my sins.

I’m leaving now, never again,

Will you find me here, oh take me away.

 

Cause I want you to chase me,

Down.

And take me away.

Stay The Same, My Love

 

Stay the same, my love

Don’t go away

Our tiny little light, is keeping us alive

Stay the same, my love

Don’t run away

Everything they’ve seen, we’ll just put em

To shame

From Out Here

I wish that I could be more like you

Nothing ever gets to you

I wish that I could have your shock value

Nothing ever gets close to you

And I’ve been trying to get through this wall you’ve built up

But maybe now I see it’s purpose

 

I can love you

From way out here

But I can see you need me

From your invisible tears

I can love you

From way out here

But I can see you love me

Only in your fear

 

I wish that I could be more like you

Easier to understand

Cause in your distance, there’s resistance

To the softness of my hands

So you don’t get used to comfort

But I’m not going anywhere

 

I can love you

From way out here

But I can see you need me

From your invisible tears

I can love you

From way out here

But I can see you love me

Only in your fear

My Radio Star

Heroin killed the radio star

But only after she broke my, little heart

Couldn’t keep her in my music box

She was desperate for a life without love,

Woah.

 

With your rock n roll black n blues,

She was lightning war, and I was old news,

Watching from the pit with a smile on my face,

And the tear in my eye, she’ll never be replaced.

 

Heroin killed my radio star,

But only after she broke my, little heart

Couldn’t keep her in my music box

She was desperate for life out there.

Woah.

 

With your dyed red hair and your smoking patch

She was a firecracker, me a used match

I never would’ve caught her, had I run a million miles

Dragging this heavy heart through all her latest styles.

 

I never knew a girl so deep in thought,

And so cheap in words.

Layered like a rose and you can bet her thorns hurt.

The funeral was sad, and I cried myself,

Just seventeen they said, but she gave em hell.

 

Heroin killed my radio star

And in turn, broke my, little heart.

Now she sleeps in my music box

She was destined for everything more.

Woah. Woah.

 

With your rock n roll black n blues,

She was a lightning war, and I was just old news.

You were a lightning war, and I was just old news.
