I know enough about love
To break it
I’ve heard enough about love
How to make it
I wrote a song about us
Are we faking
I hope it’s not about us
I’d put myself on a tree
Like the lord
With my feet
Off the ground
And I’m bound
And the nails
How I’d bleed
I’d give it all for love
All of my breathe for love
I want a run-in with love
Take me
I want to know the whole love
I’m aching
I know it’s all about love
No mistaking
Let me and I’ll bring the love
I’d put myself on a tree
Like the lord
With my feet
Off the ground
And I’m bound
And the nails
How I bleed
Now take me down from this tree
Take me down
To my knees
Take me whole
I want to live in the love
I want to share in the love

This Here Island
04:03

About as far as we
Are gonna go
Look at us
We are dogpiling
Will it fade
I won’t pretend to know
When all our fear is strung out on the snow
And all the love we feel
the drain of blood
And if we all fall out
If the bottom drops out
I hope that we share ground
On this here island
And if we all fall out
I hope that we share ground
On this here island
How can we ever be
The way we were
Come with me
Let’s go unwind it
Are we too late
We can’t yet know
When all our fear is strung out on the snow
And all the love we feel
the drain of blood
And if we all fall out
If the bottom drops out
I hope that we share ground
On this here island
if we all fall out
I hope that we share ground
On this here island
And if we all fall out
If the bottom drops out
I hope that we share ground
On this here island
if we all fall out
I hope that we share ground
On this here island
And if we all fall out
I hope that we share ground
I hope we don’t fall out
And if we all fall out
If the bottom drops out
I hope that we share ground
On this here island
if we all fall out
I hope that we share ground
On this here island

Keeping an open mind
When all that surrounds me
Is aiming to polarize
Done enough weeping
To know that it ain’t alright
There’s plenty of pain in sight
Keeping an open mind
Keeping an open hand
All that surrounds me
Is reaching for all it can grab
I’ve done enough seeking
To know that it ain’t all fair
I’m holding it out midair
Keeping an open hand
What left to say
More than a prayer
Reaching out for
A better way
What left to say
More than a prayer
Reaching out for
A better way
Keeping an open plan
When all that surrounds me
Is aiding to pin me in
I’ve done enough dreaming
To know that I can’t be bound
Beginning leave ground
I’m keeping an open plan
What left to say
More than a prayer
Reaching out for
A better way
What left to say
More than a prayer
Reaching out for
A better way
Here I lay it down
Here I, here i’ll lay it down
Let my fear dissolve
Let me shed it and evolve
Let my feet be planted
Let me stand up really tall
I’m a miracle
What left to say
More than a prayer
Reaching out for
A better way
What left to say
More than a prayer
Reaching out for
A better way

Every time you run away
Every time you’ve pulled away
I’ve looked and I’ve found no reason
Every time we’ve tried it on
Every time we pulled it off
Our vibe has defied all reason
In the back of your mind
In the soft of your thighs
In the green of your eyes
I think you know
In the boldest of tone
In the marrowest bones
On the tip of your nose
I think you know
I think you know
Even when the ice is thin
Even when I’m not let in
Our bond is a whole adhesion
Even in the coldest wind
Even when the sun is in
Our love is a warming season
In the back of your mind
In the soft of your thighs
In the green of your eyes
I think you know
In the boldest of tone
In the marrowest bones
On the tip of your nose
I think you know
I think you know
I think you know
Think about it
Think about it
About I think you know
I Think
About I think you
I Think
I think you know
About it
About it
About it
In the back of your mind
In the soft of your thighs
In the green of your eyes
I think you know
In the boldest of tone
In the marrowest bones
On the tip of your nose
I think you know
In the back of your mind
In the soft of your thighs
In the green of your eyes
I think you know
In the boldest of tone
In the marrowest bones
On the tip of your nose
I think you know
I think you know
I think you know
Think about it
About I think you know
I think you know
Think about it
Think about it

No Standing Still
03:26

In my head we’re certainly miles away
So let’s comb over every play
There’s so many colours that we could make
Yet we are monochrome in a way
Yet we are monochrome in a way
It might have been suddenly night and day
But we were wrapped up in the game
There’s so many movements left to make
Yet we are statue-like in our place
Yet we are statue-like in our place
And maybe we’re crazy enough to pray
But what would we want god to say
There’s so many worries that we could make
Yet we are readjusting our aim
Yet we are readjusting our aim
There’s no standing still
Only moving forward or backward
And on the whole we’re hand in hand
I hope this goes into the after

As I play my part
You inspire me
So I take my mark
And I start to sing
In my heart
And my body
In my bones
Every part of me
And if I’m drown out or in free fall
You are my favourite one of all
And when I’m not fully settled down
To you I’m tethered, wrapped around
Ooh You require me
To remove my guard
Give you all of me
In my heart
And my body
In my bones
Every part of me
And if I’m drown out or in free fall
You are my favourite one of all
And when I’m not fully settled down
To you I’m tethered, wrapped around
And if I’m drown out or in free fall
You are my favourite one of all
And when I’m not fully settled down
To you I’m tethered
I’m wrapped around
I’m wrapped around
Ooh I’m wrapped around
Tethered and wrapped around

Unwavering Routine
02:23
|

When I am not well
Still you are found here
You do your best to heal
You do not disappear
I say your name in the dark
I find you there like a shot
You’re almost one to fear
Entangled by your love it’s clear
With no applauding
You are the last to sleep
Unwavering routine
You have a fix on our needs
I trace your name on my palm
I ring it out like a song
Toward your will I do steer
Anything to keep you near
Unwavering Routine
Unwavering Routine
Unwavering Routine
Unwavering Routine

Keep your hands clean
Keep your hearts wide open
If you’re antsy
Know you’re not the only one
Hope over fear
Love over hate
When it’s unclear
Where to place your next foot down
And you’re unsure
That you’ll make the next time around
Hope over fear
Love over hate
Hope over fear
Love over hate
Hope over fear
Love over hate
Hope over fear
Love over hate

As the wind, it swirls around me
Let it pull me out of melancholy
And the walls that stand around me
Let them come down and set me free
Anyway, anyway you warned me
That this way was lonely
I follow my feet
As the world shifts all around me
Let me not follow rather lead
And while others run to high land
Let me learn how to traverse the sea
Anyway, anyway you warned me
That this way was lonely
I follow my feet
I follow my feet
I follow my feet
I follow my feet
For better or worse
I’ve altered my course
I follow my feet
I follow my feet
I follow my feet
I follow my feet
Anyway, anyway you warned me
That this way was lonely
I follow my feet
Anyway, anyway you warned me
That this way was lonely
I follow my feet
I follow my feet

It’s over and I never thought I’d see the day
The disappearing of our love
A rearranging of what was
A bomb went off and then we weren’t
In mourning I took up a craft distracting me
From everything that ever was
Mysterium tremendum
In reaching out to touch the sun
Here lies a pardon
A transcendental way to entice us
A transcendental way
Adjust my eyes to see if I could puncture through
The world as it appears to us
To see the forces blind to us
To see and not deny thus
Here lies a pardon
A transcendental way to entice us
A transcendental way
A transcendental way to entice us
A transcendental way to entice us
A transcendental way to entice us
A transcendental way
