I have nothing new to tell you
Since the last time that I wrote
But I know with certainty
Your hands will get this note
I don’t need any mirrors in my hallway
To remind me how I’ m feeling today
I don’t want any lights in my house
Turn them off, pull them down, throw them out
I read, I read
I read, I read
A yellow shirt and a blue jacket
I learnt for the first time today
A red flag means that I’ll be okay
You get up when I go to sleep but that’s just me and geography
I read, I read
I read, I read
A yellow shirt and a blue jacket
Dressed so sharply
You know I will read
Every word that you send me

A cold night, in the summer time
Under street lights that weren’t mine
In a city I think it was yours
You said this weather we’re having is not quite right
Summer’s not being itself tonight
Not tonight
I said it’s alright, summer seems just fine
I have no idea what it’s really like
This far north and to the right
It seems fine
From over here, here, here here
From over here, here it seems fine
A warm night, come on it’s summer time
Under desk lights that weren’t mine
I’m quite sure that they were yours
I said there’s something growing in my heart that’s black
As black as the sky on a moonless night
There’s no cherry pie in sight
You said alright, that’s enough Twin Peaks for one night
Your heart it seems just fine, your heart it seems just fine
From over here, here, here here,
From over here, here it seems fine
I’ll navigate the best I can, use this desk light as my friend
To get back where?
To get back where?
Over here, here, here, here
Over here, here, I’ ll be fine
I’ll be fine

I sat in an airport thinking I’m gonna die
I sat in an airport thinking I’m gonna die
Die, die
I saw him moving quickly, he caught my eye
I put my head down and thought please not tonight
Tonight, tonight
Excuse me, I hope you don’t mind
But I can see what’s going on inside
I put my head down and I stared at my shoes
I thought if I don’t have to breathe then I won’t move
But I moved, I moved.
Fold up your table top, you’re showing off all that you’ve got
My table top is staying put, I wear my face this way it’s all I’ve got
I sat in an airport thinking, I wonder why
We put our heads down and avoid each others eyes.

Know This, We've Noticed
03:46
|

|
You’re a firehead in my mind
But you’re out of bounds and that is fine
I don’t know why they store them up like they do
But I know you’ve got better things to do
Know this, know this
I’ ve noticed that you’re not fine
There’s that moment then
Ah and again
I haven’ t forgotten a single one
I look out for you
I swear I do
But I think everyone has lost their mind
Know this, know this
I’ve noticed that you’re not fine
Know this, know this
We’ve noticed that you’re not fine
Know this, we’ve noticed that you’re not fine
I’ve seen this before in everyone
We all take our turn at the bottom and then we
Crawl around ‘ til we can find something to hold on to
I’ll crawl around ‘ til I can find something to hold on to
Know this we’ve noticed, that you’re not fine
Fine, fine, fine

Trains and Tracks
02:54
|

The tick tock, tick tock of my heart mimics the tick tock, tick tock of that clock
But what happens when the battery runs out?
The click clack, click clack of my brain mimics the click clack, click clack of that train
But what happens when the track’s all gone?
But oh my god, I tick tock for you
Oh my god I tick tock for you
But you’ll never come true
Cause what would I do?
No, you’ll never come true
What would I do?
I’ll shout it out, I’ll shout it out
The battery’s dead and the tracks run out
Now it’s a mini tragedy that I mistake sentimentalities with my memories
With my memories
Just look at these walls
Just look at these walls
There’s no brain and there’s no heart at all
But oh my god, I tick tock for you
Oh my god I tick tock for you
But you’ll never come true
Cause what would I do?
No, you’ll never come true
What would I do?
I’ll shout it out, I’ll shout it out
The battery’s dead and the track’s run out
I’ll shout it out, I’ll shout it out
The battery’s dead and the track’s burnt out
But oh my god, I tick tock for you
Oh my god I tick tock for you
But you’ll never come true
Cause what would I do?
No, you’ll never come true
I gotta find something to hold on to

Walls
03:37
|

|
I have nothing for you
Nothing at all, nothing at all
My head is bleeding from banging it against this wall
Bang it against this wall
But what’s it all for?
But what’s it all for?
Cause I don’t know if I know anymore
And you have nothing for them
And that is fair enough
Yes that is fair enough
And I know your nose bleeds for no reason at all
No reason at all
But what’s it all for?
What’s it all for?
Cause I don’t know if I know anymore
This insignificance is overwhelming me
This insignificance is overwhelming me
You promised me there was a point to this all
A point to this all
And you told me I had to just sit tight it’ ll be alright
Just sit tight it’ ll be alright
Just sit tight it’ ll be alright
My nose bleeds
Your head bleeds
Just sit tight it’ll be alright
Just sit tight it’ ll be alright

Brain on a Table
03:40
|

I know you wanted clouds for company
But you got me, you got me
And I could give you grief about the divide that I face every night
It’s every night
But I know, I know, I know
Or I learnt pretty quickly
That’s just the way things go
The way things go
But I’m not asking for all the much, just please wake up
Please wake up
I know you wanted someone else for company
But you’ve got me, you’ve got me
And you could give me grief about the divide that is oceans wide
It’s oceans wide
But I know, I know, I know
Well I learnt pretty quickly
That’s just the way things go you said
The way things go you said
But I’m not asking for all that much, just please wake up
Please wake up
My brain nearly leapt out of my chest when they opened yours up
My heart nearly jumped out of my head when they said that yours might stop
Yours might stop
Please don’t stop, please don’t stop, please don’t stop, please don’t stop
But I’m not asking for all that much
Just please wake up, please wake up
I’m not asking for all that much
Just please wake up,
Please wake up

100 Whales
03:34
|

|
Like 100 whales through the water
You know you had me in that corner
You had me in that corner
You had me in that corner
There’s at least a hundred pages I ought to
Burn before I can read what I wrote about you
What I wrote about you
What I wrote about you
But tonight, I’ m thinking of someone else
And I can’t help myself
No I can’t help myself
There’s at least 10 times I’ve spoken to you
And I’ve never said things that I wanted to
Said things I wanted to
Said things I wanted to
Play it close to the waist coat
Cause there’s always someone you know
Whose trying to catch someone out
Whose trying to catch someone out
But tonight, I’ m thinking of someone else
And I can’t help myself, no I can’t help myself
Yeah tonight I’ m thinking of someone else
And I can’t help myself
No I can’t help myself
But the difference between you and me is that I know when I shouldn’t speak
And you don’t know when to hold your peace
You don’ t know when to hold your peace
Black jack waistcoat in my face
Farewell to you my lovely
Farewell to you my lonely
Cause tonight, I’m thinking of someone else
And I can’t help myself, no I can’t help myself
Yeah tonight I’m thinking of someone else
Which in a round about way, means I’ve thought about you all day

It frustrates me that I don’t have the words to explain to you what I’m feeling now
I’m not moved that much but what I just heard moved me to the left
More to the left
I don’t know what put me there
If I had a guess then your voice would top this list
Leave me, Leave me be
I don’t need a bed to hide behind, I’m laying by myself
But your sheets are on my mind
I don’t know who put them there
But if I had a guess your voice would top this list
Leave me, Leave me be
I don’t want to remember summers in December
And I don’t want to remember last summer in June
Leave me

Windows in the City
02:55
|

We could count all the windows in the city
But you’re far too busy and I’m much too slow
So I will start with the windows in this alley
Cause you think in cities and I think in boroughs
We could count all the planes at the airport
But that would mean you and I were in the same spot
So I will count all the planes I can see
And I will talk to you like you are next to me
I could count all the birds around me
There must be a storm at sea, there must be a storm at sea
I don’t know why they come to me
I will pretend it’s them
I won’t believe it’ s me
There was no sound when the birds came down and
There were so many gulls and crows
Now why do you suppose?
There must be a storm at sea
It’s clearly them not me
I looked up when you told me to

Swallow the Sea
03:21
|
|||
|
A peerless depth is where you’re at
And I’m still treading water just over your shoulder
A hole in your wall, in your bedroom after all
And I’m still over your shoulder, taking in water
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
We look to the sky but the swallows block the light
Tread water with me we can swallow the sea
It’s funny how the walls talk
Especially holes in bedroom walls
But they don’t want to talk to me
They don’t need to come clean
It’s okay to pretend these walls aren’t my friends
Their holes have told me more than I care for
Their holes have told me more than I care for
Woah, woah
Woah, woah
The light comes in patches now through the fog and the salt and the clouds
I wanted it to come this way so I could quietly slip away
Tread water with me, we can swallow the sea
Maybe it’s my convict blood?
Maybe it’s our convict blood?
Tread water with me, we could swallow the sea

Tiny Skeletons
03:10
|

|
Our favorite game was to count the eyelashes
That fell on my cheeks whenever you got a little anxious
You said it seems so strange that you can feel all my pain
I just smiled and walked away
I dreamed of leaving you today
Leaving you today
Later that same day
I was still thinking of running away
You said my eyelashes reminded you of tiny ribcages
You said if we’d saved everyone since this had all begun
We’d have 100 sons
A hundred sons, 100 sons
I said my dear I think you’re wrong
Go and look what we have done
We’ve made a whole lot of skeletons
But there’s nothing to hold onto
I’ve seen my bones fit together
With all sorts of people in all sorts of weather
But they have to get up and go, and they have to be on their own
On their own
Cause you’ve got the brains and I’ve got the heart
Ian Curtis said it would tear us apart
But it’s tearing me in two
Oh I want to think of you
I do I do I do, I do I do I do
But I’m thinking of my bones
They want to get up and go
They want to be on their own, they want to be on their own
Well I do
