I'm sorry I can't be there this winter, you know that circumstance puts distance between you and me. But as I'm sat in this George street house drinking the hours to the ground, I just pray that you don't do the same.
And I'm sorry that I never stay as long as you'd like me to, I just can't. I lost too much blood there and I'm just not the same. I age by years in months these days it seems and my ribs break at the mention of your name.
I need to find myself again, I lost it all to friends and late nights spent on late night drives trying to find some wonder and mend. I think I need a holiday or a day away from everything I use to know. I just need some time to be okay.
Still, when your lungs exhale I'll be breathing it in, to take the space you leave when you're wearing thin.
Laying on our backs with eyes wide, fingers crossed and our breathing timed. Drifting between awake and asleep. My bones are cold but I don't mind.

They took me out to see the lights and all the people that I love. I hadn't left my house for weeks but I like what we've become. I've heard what they say but I'll never speak of what I say that day because it hurts to think that I will never change. Are you proud of that? Tell me what to say because I'll say what you want to hear.
They took me out to see the things that I love and I'm never coming back. They took me out to hear the music I missed and I swear it's the best that I've had. I've seen all these things. Can you imagine that this kid grew up to be someone to be misheard?
All these lights and sounds. Do you feel me reaching out to touch the sun? Are you scared of something else other than the obvious? Because I'll never speak those words you miss so much.
I grew up so fast. Does it scare you that I wrote off my past? But I swear It's not that bad.

In a strangers bed next to a strangers head, these tired eyes give the look that I get when there's no good in them anymore. She says it's just the swelling inside my chest. So keep me in your sheets and I'll take off my skin to let you see underneath.
As your slipping out of your clothes, you move a slow like the days I spend In that house by then the coast. Youve got such a pretty face and the smell of wine on your breath but on your tongue is my name. I'll keep you in my veins and honestly, truth be told, I don't need the same.
I'm gonna move out your window if it's alright, if you want you can sit with me with one leg over the ledge and the other intertwined with mine.
I'll still notice the ragged ends of your summer dress even if it's only in our heads. So speak up or speak slow just please don't leave me alone.

The land is dry and the day's getting longer, but tonight we walk down by the fields so I can feel the wind between my arms. As my disorders settle in, I lose the courage to talk, but when the clocks move back I'm on it because I want in.
These weathered hands, they serve me well. When they break beneath the weight I'll carry them as well.
I'm waiting for someone to find a cure for everything in me that takes over and control. As the world presses on again and I'm left here, the things I use to love grow old.
These blistered feet are tired and so cold, but they're just extensions of my small and weary bones.
I'm becoming a stranger, but it's not the strangest thing to happen round here. If you could wait out the weather I'll be back in time to find you my long lost friend.
And I've always been taught that if I have to fight a war, it's best to be on the side that's going to win, but how can I feel alive when I'm someone else's choices. To me that just ain't living.
My aching skin is thin and so frayed, but it's worth the gentle reminders of better days.

I’ve been on my own so long
All my thoughts have turned to song
Whilst the melody is strong
the sense of hope it gives is wrong
All my words appear to rhyme
But I resist the urge to mime
Every action is aligned
But I know now that I’ve got
Time
(woah-oh, woah-oh)
Yeah I know that I’ve got time
Time forgets you in a flash
Headlights never saw the crash
As I gaze upon the ash
I knock back another splash.
Soco, amaretto, lime
Cloud my judgement, cloud my mind
All the planets have aligned
And now I’m running out of time
Navigate me through the stars
Shine the light down where you are
Sound the siren overseas
Say you did it all for me
As I lay in my bed, wishing none of this happened.
There’s a note left unread, that says nothing else matters.
