Lyrics

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
