Hold On, Call

You want me to hold you
I'd wait on hold for you
I'd take the longest distance
that you want me to
All, you do is call
and I will be, on the first plane
With nothing at all,
underneath all our restraint
You tell me not to wait up
but wait is all I do
for you it's never later
I'm never late for you
All, you do is call
and I will be, on the first plane
With nothing at all,
underneath all our restraint
All you do is call you call you call me I'll come over
Just wear nothing at all, at all, at all but when you call I'll be there...

when you’re on, you’re on under the sun
in the sound, you have found where you belong
to the one, the one you’ve always known
when you found I'm around
we watched you float into the sound
we got so high we won’t come down
we watched you float into the sound
we won’t come down, we won’t come down
in the dark, in the dark, there’s a spark
all around it’s the sound, you’ve found
in the night, it’s so bright but you’re alright
when you find it’s a lie

Morning Sun

See your eyes
touch the moment when we’re done
take the ride
fumble towards what we’ll become
in the morning sun
Feel alive
when we’re closest under some
covers hide
all the thoughts we’ve let run on
in the morning sun
wait to find it
in the morning sun
we won’t come down for anyone
won’t come down for anyone
we’re all just waiting till it's done
all just waiting for the sun
just waiting till she comes
waiting for it
….we know we’ll find it
in the morning sun

all I want
is one
sweetheart
but all I ever wanted
in love's
what love wants se va
all I needs’
just one thing to start and
I watch my whole world just fall apart
but I don't want to be without you
when I'm on my own
when I feel like this I haunt you
tell it in hushed tone
Cause all I want
is just one
faithful chase
but I know
we’re all just
floating in space
All I need
is to touch your sweet face
And I watch you so wearily feeling so safe
I can’t stand to watch you
falling in your poses
no, I can’t bear to watch you there, oh no…

Want you to know
I feel everything so slow
I wouldn’t hold
You in my arms
To let you go
I wouldn’t mind
Give all I have
Just for your time
It’s worth the while
I love to see
To see you smile
I love your smile

this could be worst
indebted to explode
feelings never hurt
from what we’ll never know
but you can’t let go
when it feels this on
and you won’t get low, but it hits so hard
it’s what you don’t know, that will break you all the way
Feel it coming in
gets inside the back
they say it’s what you win
you know it’s what you lack
the pictures coming in
do bruises ever fade
indifferently again
but it’s always in the way

Starts with a feeling you can’t turn off
every time they lie
about the life they say they're not
always getting by
on what their handed when they want
we know there’s no time
for all the lies and life they bought
Cause there’ll come a day oh
When It won't be fun
When they’ll wake up
Without anyone at all
Maybe today oh
If it's what you want
When you take something
But you give nothing
And you’re way too far away, run away
All of the feeling that’s now gone
kill it all before
they walk away with what they want
there’s no care for what
was made before they came and bought
everything we were, but not before, we all could walk!

we are what we are when
we let it go
and we know what we want and
we’ll take it all
you won’t let it go then
we’ll break it down
and we know what you know what we know
we know what we want to know
we know what we need
we want the world, you’re holding it
we’ll settle for release
we are what we want with
no self-control
and we won’t let go till
you’re in the hole
return back to progress
return and go
we know what you know what we know what

so you think you lost it all
you never really gave up what you are
and though you never really tried
I never thought that you would lie to me
but I won't get won't get won't get lost at all
when you think you lost it all
in the sweet black sugar fall
when you never really see
all you've lost is me
so we never end at all
in a way, we gave back what we want
and you never took to heart
never trusted from the start
still, you won't let won't let me off at all
