If giving left me lonely
If giving was my friend
I'm keeping all the old themes

I'm keeping my loose ends
But now you're feeling empty
I tried my bes...

This is gonna be torture

Just a single question
When you finally get this
Where will you be?
Will you be a shipwreck or a star
Falling for a boy who does...

Awake from a dream
One that started as a nightmare
Like a war so extreme
It erased itself from memory
Here's where I jumped
The curve of the coast of ...

There's a look in your eyes when you're hungry for me
It's a beautiful knife cutting right where the fear should be
Into me

 I'm just another girl in a sweater
 Perpetual novice

And if I could
 I'd raise my arm
 And wave a wand
 To end all harm

I was five and he was six
 We rode on horses made of sticks
 He wore black and I wore white
 He would always win the fight

 Bang bang he shot me down...

Earth went silent
London fell asleep
She dreamed of winter
Where you appeared to me
Perfect timing as new petals in November
A tender creature
A fever...

Psycho, priceless
 Good in a crisis
 Working the angles
 Oh, billions
 Sexting sonnets
 Under the tables
 Tangled in cables
 Oh, billions
 Salty (Ah),...

We don't rely on "There's nowhere to go"
We realize that the soul grows
We just deny that the truth is untold
No one to rally us both

 At the right time
 Maybe I don't wanna be any...

 Two pilgrims of the mist
 Your words drift to me
 Those words I can’t resist

 We are higher than the setting sun
 Made of metal we are ma...

To see my phone
Nothing there can guide me home

A broken screen
 A thousand leagues
 Even now
 I trust that you will light the way to navigate
 Cut through the waves
