about

This is the second single from the upcoming album - And The World Rushed In.

lyrics

IT’S IN OUR GENES, GIRL
TO BE LONELIER THAN LONELY
COME THE NIGHTTIME
I THINK THEY INVENTED SLEEPING
FOR THE OTHER PEOPLE
COS WHEN THEY CLOSE
THEIR EYES THERE’S NO NIGHTMARES
THERE’S NO TIME WHERE
YOU AND I AREN’T THERE

DON’T BE A LOSER, HUN
YOU WALK ON WATER, YES!
YOU’RE THE MIRACLE, CHILD!
YES, YOU’RE THE SAVIOUR
AND THAT SOUND IN THE BACKGROUND’S
JUST YOUR TIME COMING
IT’S JUST YOUR HALO HUMMING
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
NOT JUST THE THINGS THEY TELL YOU
SET YOUR OWN DIRECTIONS
OWN THE COMPASS
BE YOUR OWN ACCOMPLICE
SET YOUR OWN MISSIONS
NO OMISSIONS
NO DISTRACTIONS

MY GIRL MY GIRL
SUDDENLY IT’S A NEW DAY
ALL THE PROBLEMS THEY JUST FADE AWAY
SUDDENLY IT’S A NEW DAY
LIKE TURNING A NEW PAGE
SUDDENLY IT’S A NEW DAY
LIKE A NEW CHAPTER
IN YOUR EVER - AFTER
THE TALL TALES
THEY’LL BE TELLING ABOUT YOU!!!

STOP LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT IN ME
WHEN YOU OUT - CANDLE EVERYBODY
YOU SHOULD BE
THAT KID AND CANDY
BULL AND CHINA SHOP
CHAOS ALL ABOUT YOU
YOUR CREATION
YOU KEEP MAKING IT
COS YOU’RE NEVER FAKING IT
I’M LOOKING UP
YOUR FATHER FIGURE
BUT I’M SPENDING SO MUCH TIME LOOKING UP
ONLY TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH YOU
IN YOUR STEADY CLIMBING
YOU RISE..AND YOU RISE AND YOU RISE
STEADY CLIMBING

SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH
ONLY FLIES IN ONE DIRECTION
NEVER HESITATE
MAKE YOUR MISTAKES BEAUTIFUL
I CAN SEE A GOD IN YOU
LOVING YOU, LOVING YOU
LOVE AND YOU’S THE SAME THING

MY GIRL MY GIRL
SUDDENLY IT’S A NEW DAY
YOUR WORLD YOUR WORLD
SUDDENLY IT’S A NEW DAY
KEEP TURNING A NEW PAGE
SUDDENLY IT’S A NEW DAY
TURN A NEW CHAPTER
IN YOUR EVER - AFTER
THE TALL TALES THEY’LL BE TELLING ABOUT YOU!!!
