Give me colder days and thicker clothes
And I won't feel so exposed
You put yourself at harm
To impress them
To depress them
But this is..
One for the barely-there betweens
Aching limbs and early teens
Summer rides on Salem Street
Write me something, anything
You've been looking thin
You don't seem to mind
And that's what really troubles me
When I can't find..
One for the barely-there betweens,
Aching limbs and early teens
Summer rides on Salem Street

4 Days, 6 Years

I think of scoring numbers down, etched into my palms
Co-ordinates, i'll map it out and soon arrive
Surprising to stay and suffice to say
I'll be timing things just right today
Greet with winged arms and a kiss on the cheek
Something to take me half the way home on punctured wheels
Bruises tackle pressure points, the storm before the calm
Re-consider, i'll lock the doors and myself away
Surprising to stay and suffice to say
I'll be timing things just right today
Greet with winged arms and a kiss on the cheek
Something to take me half the way home on punctured wheels
And a new skin to feel
Summarise these last 4 days in 6 years

You've got me talking like a teen
Where were you when I was down and 17?
You said you were out celebrating
Left me at home late and waiting
With an "i miss you" and a confession
Good things are starting now
Don't waste your joy on me
Soon you'll be in the city that I was 3 long years, a life, ago
Don't waste your cares on me
Call me when you leave the city where I spent 3 years
You've got me thinking like a teen
Do you feel relieved now that you've told me?
Because for 3 months now of teasing
The outcome could never be easy
But with an "I love you" and a confession
And with a "listen.." and an "I miss you"
Your life is starting now
Don't waste your love on me
Can I see you in the city that I was in 3 long years, a lifetime, ago
Don't waste your words on me
Call me when you leave the city where I spent 3 years
But will you want this anymore?
But will you want this anymore?
Will you still want this, Eleanor?
But will you want this anymore?

A warning sign
Just something to tell me that you're alright
And although it's not wise to conspire against watchful eyes
You've always done what you will do in spite of what anyone told you and a warning sign
So that I'll know everything is fine
Put your love on hold
Take your time
Put your life on hold
And I will mine
Give a warning sign
Just something to tell me that you've arrived
And although it's not wise to escape those watchful eyes
You've always done what you will do in spite of what anyone told you and a warning sign
So that I know everything is fine

Early Hours Or You
02:11
|

Eyes peeled back it's fine, i'm tired
I wasn't built for early hours, or you
Can I afford to be on the run?
Or to trade in lust for love?
Calls when I shouldn't be
Home was where I should've been
4 hours sleep creep up and I leave the house and take the long way home
Hang my head and hands over the bridge
Watch the swirls and take a look at love
Call me say that I should leave
I'll meet you soon on city streets
Moon shaped scar on one cheek and eyes so bright that I can see myself in them
I'll be so low when you up and go
Spending a life slowly in wait of arms
Home is where I should've been
Your love is what I wish i'd seen

Youth On You
02:00

You've got a fist full of dandelions
Can I take your smile
Replace it with misery and tricky teens
Witham walk wake up my mind
Pursue sorry nights or leave them behind
You'll have a head full of hate for me
Can we walk for miles
Trade scars for youth and see what might come of that
Can't bear to talk or carry this around
End sorry nights and move on in time
Tired of tacking hopes on hopes
Unpinned that I drag along
A song for every time I fucked up
Every time that I did wrong
It's true, I've wasted a life's love of youth on you
You've got a fist full of dandelions
Can I take your smile
Replace it with misery and tricky teens
Witham walk make up my mind
Pursue sorry nights or leave them behind
