Heartfelt indie-folk
lyrics
Through the lows and highs, criticise, fantasise, Idolise.
Sharing our best in vain.
Spreading our woes like a ticker tape parade.
And the symmetry, you and me, heavenly, Anarchy.
Balancing acts, disdain.
Kidding myself that this is only a game.
I better wise up before I lose the lot, stop.
playing with these lives, like a tiller man stuck, stop. But,
don't you see the symattery, staring back at you and me?
So make your mind up, when we going to start? stop.
Don't you see the parallel, begging you to reconcile?
We better rise up before we lose it all. Lost.
How am I meant to sleep when I know that you are up? Stop, Stop!
Take another pill, better still, breathing will always heal.
Checking my phone for days, watching my back like a murder mystery play.
And the great reprise, you and me, finally, closing scene.
Audience stand to leave, we're the only two left in a theatre of grief.
I better wise up before I lose the lot, stop.
Playing with these lives, like a tiller man stuck, stop, but
don't you see the symattery, staring back at you and me ?
So make your mind up, when we going to start? stop.
Don't you see the parallel, begging you to reconcile?
We better rise up before we lose it all. Lost.
How am I meant to sleep when I know that you are up? Stop.
How am I meant to love when I know you'll break my heart? Stop.
How am I meant to live when I know that you are lost? Stop. But...
don't you see the symattery, staring back at you and me?
So make your mind up, when we going to start? stop.
How am I meant to sleep when I know that you are up? Stop.
