Verse 1
This is
The hardest thing for me
To admit
I'm having a hard time
Chorus
Will you take care of me?
In case of emergency
Will you look out for me?
In case of emergency
Verse 2
This is
A request for help, you see
This is
The hardest thing for me

Will you take care of me?
In case of emergency
Will you look out for me?
When I feel like I can't breathe

Just Married
05:14
|
|||
|
Verse 1
I'm high on love
Full of wonderful feelings of joy
I want to capture this moment
Keep it safe
In a jar, on a shelf
For a rainy day
Break glass in case of emergency
Break:
Moments fade, memories remain
Verse 2:
I want to bottle this moment
But moments like feelings are fleeting
Trying to contain them
Would be like trying to
Catch mist, steam or smoke
They evaporate
Dissipate
And as quickly as they arrive
They are gone
Disappearing into the ether
Leaving behind a lingering sensation
Break:
Moments fade, memories remain
Outro:
We will always
Have tonight

The Dreamer
05:21
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I can seem to switch off
A thousand thoughts in my head
None of them relevant
Not a single one of any use
So I will just lie here
Concentrating on my breath
I can seem to drift off
Verse 2:
I can't seem to tune out
The background noise inside
It might as well be static
I can't pick out anything
So I will just lie here
Concentrating on my breath
I can't seem to drift off
Instrumental break
Outro:
I think I talk more in my sleep
Than I do when I'm awake
It's just the way my brain works
I find it hard to communicate

Pitfalls
03:20
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I always thought
Worried sick was just a figure of speech
But now I know
When pressure piles up
It needs to be released
Chorus:
I can't seem to avoid falling into obvious traps
Tripping over sentences putting my foot in my mouth
And just when I start to think I'm standing on solid ground
The trap door opens under me
I'm falling once again
Verse 2:
I've always felt
That I'm often ill at ease
Certain situations
Terrify me
And picking up
On social cues is a nightmare
Trying to decipher your expression and your tone
Chorus 2:
And if I seem to stumble through basic interactions
Know that I'm doing my best
Chorus 3:
I can't seem to avoid
Falling into obvious traps
Tripping over sentences
Putting my foot in my mouth
And just when I start to think
I'm standing on solid ground
The trap door opens under me
I'm falling once again

Build a House
06:07
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I know
You're wracked with doubt
Questioning yourself
And everything you do
You will find
Your autonomy
Your place
In the world
Chorus:
If you're lost
In the woods
Build a house
Put foundations down
And plot a point
On the map
That says "you are here"
You are home
Where you belong
Verse 2:
Instrumental
Chorus:
If you're lost
In the woods
Build a house
Put foundations down
And plot a point
On the map
That says "you are here"
You are home
Where you belong
Outro
I was lost but now I live here
I'm not lost any more

Body Heat
04:35
|
|||
|
Verse 1
When the day begins to fade
The sun hangs low in the sky
And I know it's getting late
We're both beginning to feel tired
Chorus:
I need you to be here
Feel your body heat close to mine
Nothing keeps me warmer
In the cold air of the night
Just to hear you breathing
To know that you're alright
To know that you're alright
Verse 2:
So to sleep
To rest your weary head
Tomorrow is a brand new day
Full of possibilities
To sleep
I know that you are drained
Awaken in the morning
And face the world again
Chorus:
I need you to be here
Feel your body heat close to mine
Nothing keeps me warmer
In the cold air of the night
Just to hear you breathing
To know that you're alright
To know that you're alright
Outro:
Nothing keeps me warmer
In the cold air of the night
I hope you'll always be here
I hope that I am right

Stutter
03:56
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I can't speak
My mouth seems to
Disconnect
From my brain
It frustrates me
Please believe
I really wanna talk
To you
But
It defeats
Me every time
Every time I
Chorus:
Stutter
My way through conversations
Fumbling
Directionless and overthought
Stumble over simple words and phrases
They trip me over
And I've got my head in my hands
Verse 2:
It's so slight
You probably didn't even notice
That I
Got it wrong
Cause you'll never know what I'd planned to say
Comes out wrong
Obsess over what I'd wanted to've said
It's a pain
But in reality it's probably all in my head
Chorus:
Stutter
My way through conversations
Fumbling
Directionless and overthought
Stumble over simple words and phrases
They trip me over
And I've got my head in my hands
Chorus:
Stutter
My way through conversations
Fumbling
Directionless and overthought
Stumble over simple words and phrases
They trip me over
And I've got my head in my hands

Ghost at the Party
03:25
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
This feels so strange
Nothing is the same
I feel your presence
I feel your presence
Chorus:
I keep expecting you to walk through the door
But deep down inside I know that you won't
In truth I'm hoping that you'll be here
But I'm lying to myself
Verse 2:
And now you are
The ghost at the party
Your spirit lingers
And we won't forget you
Chorus:
I keep expecting you to walk through the door
But deep down inside I know that you won't
In truth I'm hoping that you'll be here
But I'm lying to myself

Changed Priorities
04:44
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Well this year's been the hardest
I think I can recall
With very few positives
No not many at all
We've spent time in isolation
We've spent time on our own
It's important to remember
That we are not alone
And now it's not enough
To just engage in small talk
We need to have real conversations
Tell me how you really are
Tell me how you really are
Instrumental break
Verse 2:
Well this has been a challenge
And may have caused us stress
We need to pull together
We know it's for the best
We've all had changed priorities
Nothing worked the way we planned
But if staying inside keeps us safe
Then we all must understand
It's ok to be frightened
It's fine to be scared
It's alright to feel unsure of the world out there
It's OK to be frightened
It's fine to be scared
It's alright to feel unsure of the world out there
Bridge/Outro
One thing I know
I miss my friends.
