lyrics

Crawl past the crosshairs you pish take paradox
You keep leaving me unaware honeybear/it's so hard to bear
I'll scrap another
This haiku just won't do
Got no syllables left for you/you turn the screw
Turn the world askew/well out of view/i'll never get my head around you

We could be dead by Summer
The coral reef was one huge step too far
Your love it pulled me under
I've never been an anecdote
You're the words I can't misquote

Sometimes there's no hope
I mope, you're my go-to trope
Watch me milk it through a tape-delay
Stop the bleeding turn the tourniquet
I'll always say you're my best cliche

I thought you did care but now what you said I swear
It's a major minor miracle I'm still lyrical
And on the third repeat
So indiscreet
Don't dream of me when you're asleep

And fuck your Indian Summer
A souvenir of sunshine seems sub-rationale
I wish we died that Summer
Cos there's no way to leave you
Yeah I still miss that kiss
