What You Wanted

Theres a solace in silence
I’ll work it out from my cover of shade
I can tell it’s decided
By all the things we learned to say
I can’t withhold it
I’ll keep your words held close and remain
Is this all we reside in
Just the things that we learned to say
You get just what you wanted
with or without the inclination
And if you tell me when you’re honest
Then i can figure out the right intention
I bet you didn’t mean it
Just say you’re sick that you’re waiting around for me
Is it true that you know me better
Or maybe it’s the thought of coming close to this change
You get just what you wanted
With or without the inclination
And if you tell me when you’re honest
Then i can figure out the right intention

Pigeon Park

Wooden benches, Wasted hours
We're lying 'bout this love of ours
Listening to the footsteps as we wait
Careful city, Hidden stars
I'm sitting on your handle bars
I think we’re the only ones awake
But you held me on the other line
And I told you I didn’t mind
You said take your time
Does that mean forever?
Cos I’m wandering wether I will always strive to feel the same
As when I didn’t know your name
In your grip, Uncertain charm
Its yours to hold in open arms
I'm slipping round the corners. Hit the breaks
Cigarettes and basement bars
We’re writing on your old guitar
I think we’re the only ones awake
But you held me on the other line
And I told you I didn’t mind
You said take your time
Does that mean forever?
Cos I’m wandering wether I will always strive to feel the same
As when I didn’t know your name

Not Allowed

I’ve found
That my personal vendetta
Is lost when you’re around just
Take it down
Cos i know its only better when
You’re not allowed
We’ll gather round
Keep more than we’re meant to hold
When the blame comes back around
Not safe to make a sound
Cos you know its so much better
When we’re not allowed
I'm losing time to
tryna see the day through
I'm holding onto
Spending all of this time around you
On solid ground
Move slowly in the backseat
Oh, we're turning corners going down
Not safe break them out
Cos I know it’s only better when
You’re not allowed
We’ll seek them out
It’s easier to hide away
Than to look and not be found
Away from all we’re bound
Cos you know it’s so much better
When we’re not allowed
I'm losing time to
tryna see the day through
I'm holding onto
Spending all of this time around you

City Tide
03:06

Take a look across the water
The city tide will break you in
But I’m drawn to dwell just on the gentle things
(that fill the spaces in-between)
And I'm tending to the patches that are planted in my head
Falling from the silver stems that trace the seeds we spread
Petals wilting slower when i’m careful where to tread
But what do we really know
Time long ago
What do we really know
Found way below
If we’re all to blame I know it’s necessary
It’s just a game when you say you need me
Keep your limit close to mine
It’s intertwined with all I’ve been
Reaching out from the start
Oh, its the simple things that take a while
What do we really know
Time long ago
What do we really know
Found way below
If we’re all the same
Guess we're all to blame
