about

Single from upcoming EP "Proper Words"

lyrics

You burned the city down to ashes from your heat within
Jumping over fires with my shirt tucked in
Following you always from a distance

You pointed out the emeralds that flickered in my dizzy eyes
Lips stained red with strawberry wine
I know I’ll never make you mine

Leaving so soon? You just got in
Always find you when I’m done looking

If I could find the proper words
I’d tell you everything, I’d tell you everything
But I am lying when I say that this is fine
That we’re just friends and nothing more
What am I lying for?

Don’t always hear the meaning of the things you’re talking about
Staring at the words as they shape on your mouth
You push your hair, reveal your blouse

A certain melody in the breaths you take
The lingering smell of daylight when you walk away
The beauty of it makes my heart ache

If I could find the proper words
I’d tell you everything, I’d tell you everything
But I am lying when I say that this is fine
That I’m okay with nothing more
What am I fighting for?

I don’t wanna leave, don’t wanna fall asleep
Having you here laying next to me
So close I can feel your heartbeat
Icy cold, your touch it burns
Dead skin cells they crave for more
Don’t it feel good, don’t it feel good, don’t it

If I could find the proper words
I’d tell you everything, I’d tell you everything
But I am lying when I say that this is fine
That we’re just friends and nothing more
What am I lying for?
That I’m okay with nothing more
What am I fighting for?
