Lyrics
How can nothing ever mean something? It goes from white to grey so fast A new pool on a strange mattress Helps me catch up with my past
Pass me something to wipe with We're so easy to please Do you worry that it's loaded? Laced with a million littles me's
So are you up for the hat-trick Or are you down for a rest? Is the whitest light between our legs Or hidden in my chest?
And if they see us on the stairs Or if they catch us on the sink Move quickly and brush it off With a giggle and a wink
At least we know we're fuckable At least we're sated and we're tired At least the bedroom stinks And we know we're desired
Screaming in the trees
We met on mutual ground But you avoided my gaze Until I lost your face In the next morning's haze
You're shoes could've woken up the whole street They drowned out the birds screaming in the trees We sat down on the stone stairs And I watched the scars on your knees
We met on mutual ground You fell out of your dress This bar's not open late enough So let's go home and make a mess
They smiled and left the room To leave us with more space But we stayed where we were And just had a drink to the chase
A good night kiss equals a quick reaction But it's hard to believe I'm fully grown So as usual, we parted on vague terms So you could climb back on your thrown
Haunt me
Haunt me I know You'll keep me In tow
No laugh No guide No limp Beside
So haunt me 'Cause I know You'll keep me In tow
If she's all I need To love And breed
Then haunt me 'Cause I'll know You'll keep me In tow
Turbulence
You always jump and quiver When you're coming in to land With no runway, no guidance No nails dug into my hand
We could have whoever we want We could go back to school And see the dead laugh again Let's get dressed up and pull
The only benefit of drinking The downside of what we take Some weekends I feel Like I could always be awake
A party in a strangers house Have we ever met the host? Just smile and keep talking And get your can for a toast
We won't always be safe here But this is where we reign Pull it tight to protect us We might never sleep again
