For The Letter

You want control of the last thing you say to me
So write it out and we’ll see if I choose to read it
Wait the love has fallen out of me
Safely land at the bottom of a very big sea
Wait for the letter
Wait for the letter
Wait for the letter
Wait for the letter
It empties out but it fills up the space between
I feel the burn of the words that I still haven’t seen
Wait the love has fallen out of me
Safely land at the bottom of a very big
Very big sea
Wait for the letter
Wait for the letter
Wait for the letter
Wait for the letter

It's Come To This

Didn’t think I’d have what it takes
But it’s come to this
Didn’t think I’d know what to say
Well it is what it is
Couldn’t read the lines on your face
They’re too far away
I’m the only one with the courage
The courage to stay
If we start here
It’s over too soon
Dreaming me up in your head
So I wouldn’t have to
I remember in case you forget
A mirror of you
Watch the dance and reflect
The shadows withdrew

My Disguise

You wanna search
You wanna search for
You wanna search for my disguise
You want the love
You never wanted an actual fight
And I would know
You left me feeling dissatisfied
Just wanted love
I’ll whisk away all the smoke in your eyes
You want the love
That isn’t my disguise
You love to hate me with your eyes
I couldn’t tell
I knew how far you could run in the night
You didn’t know
You left me feeling dissatisfied
Just wanted love
I’ll whisk away all the smoke in your eyes
You want the love
That isn’t my disguise
That isn’t my disguise
That isn’t my disguise

You said when I said
When you said that I said
We said that you said
When I said
No
I said when you said
When you said that I said
You said that I said
Then I said no
And I never woulda waited for you
If I’d only known
That you’d never be there at all x2
You said when I said
When you said that I said
We said that you said
When I said
No
I said when you said
When you said that I said
You said that I said
Then I said no
And I never woulda waited for you
If I’d only known
That you’d never be there at all
And I never woulda waited for you
If I’d only known
And I never woulda waited at all
And I never woulda waited for you
No I never woulda waited
And I never woulda waited at all
If I never woulda waited for you
Like I never shoulda waited
Then I never woulda waited at all x5

Faster than I could’ve dreamed
It came for me
And any way I tried you were always right
Never mind the highs
The lows came first
And any way I tried you were always right
Take things lightly while there’s time
Take these thoughts work them inside
Saints walk down into the street
Stay I found someone you should meet
Fallen on the ground
Hoping that the others won’t see
You will not be found
And that is how you want it to be
Faster than I could’ve dreamed it came for me
(I wanna say it I won’t mean it)
And anyway I tried you were always right
(I went and said it you can’t hear it)
Never mind the highs the lows came first
(I wanna say it I won’t mean it)
And any way I tried you were always right
(I went and said it you can’t hear it)
Take things lightly while there’s time
Saints walk down into the street
Stay I found someone you should meet
Fallen on the ground
Hoping that the others won’t see
You will not be found
And that is how you want it to be
(I wanna say it I won’t mean it)
