i really really really really like you
i really really really really like you
i wanna borrow your sweater and live in it forever
i really really really really like you
you smell like cinnamon and peach
your warmth makes me want to fall asleep
and when our hands touch, it’s almost too much
my heart jumps around, my feet aren’t on the ground
anymore, there’s the floor, far below
but we won’t fall
because i’m safe here in your arms
we won’t come to any harm
how’m i s’posed to concentrate
when all i see’s your pretty face?
i haven’t seen you for so long
i should be doing homework
but i’m writing you a song
cause i really really really really like you
i really really really really like you
i wanna borrow your sweater and live in it forever
i really really really really like you
cause i really really really really like you
i really really really really like you
i wanna crawl into your skin if you’ll let me in
i really really really really like you
how’m i s’posed to concentrate
when all i see’s your pretty face?
i haven’t seen you for awhile
i should be going to sleep
but i’m never fucking tired
cause i really really really really like you
i really really really really like you
i’m a total fucking mess and you know that the best
i really really really really like you
i really really really really like you
i really really really really like you
i wanna count all of your freckles and hang out with the devil
i really really really really like you
I really really really really like you
I really really really really like you
I wanna borrow your sweater and live in it forever
I really really really really like you

just another lonely day
don’t know quite how to say
that i miss you
and it hurts
if it were easy
i’d have said the words by now
and if it were easy
i’d have it figured out
but i’m alone in my bed and stuck in my head
i’m thinking too much, i can’t shut my brain up
if it were easy
i’d have told you this by now
wish i’d wake up from the sun through your drapes
and open my eyes to see your pretty face
i’d count all of your freckles, make plans with the devil
would you come with me and live by the sea
we’ll plant flowers and dance, we’ll water the plants
and we’ll never feel alone
if it were easy
i’d have said the words by now
and if you could see me
i’d have it figured out
but i’m alone in my bed and stuck in my head
i’m thinking too much, i can’t shut my brain up
if it were easy
i’d have told you this by now
why can’t it be easy
i’m lonely all the time
please make it easy
why can’t i be fine
but i’m alone in my bed and stuck in my head
god this isn’t fair, when awake is a nightmare
if it were easy
i’d have talked to you by now
if it were easy
i’d have talked to you

lyrics
give me a tarot reading in your bedroom
and maybe after we can watch a film, or
lie up on the roof, with the stars
and the moon
and maybe then we could put on a record
and dance around the room in your arms
and listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat
sometimes i’m scared to fall asleep
but when i’m with you, my lavender blue
when i’m with you
let’s sneak out, 2 am
skate out for miles
stop at the dairy, shit’s getting pretty scary
fuck around in the aisles
i’ll buy you your favourite candy
if you will hold my hand when i’m afraid
swear to god i can be brave
i will, i will, i can — i’ll do it for you
dance around the kitchen in our shirts
and we’ll forget that we’ve ever felt hurt
hotwire an old car, and get the fuck outta here
i don’t care where, i just wanna be with you
my lavender blue
my lavender blue
can we pretend that we're the only two alive (my lavender blue)
can we just leave and drive away into the night (my lavender blue)
can we pretend that we're the only two alive (my lavender blue)
can we just leave and drive away into the night (my lavender blue)
skate around the town at 2 am
let’s move to the seaside and never feel lonely again
hotwire an old car, and get the fuck outta here
i don’t care where, i just wanna be with you
my lavender blue
my lavender blue
give me a tarot reading in your bedroom
and maybe after we could watch a film

i’m so sorry
i’m so sorry
i’m so sorry
i really love you, really love you
i really love you
i’m so lonely
i’m so lonely
i’m so lonely, and i’m only
fifteen, fuck that
i’ll just forget
everything between sixteen, and
tell me when to talk to you
i’ll bring flowers, i’ll bring some glue
and we’ll stick back what has been broken
i’ll just learn to be outspoken
and i guess this is the end
when you told me to let you go, but
i don’t want to, i don’t think so
i don’t want to let you go (i don’t want to)
i don’t want to

cemetery night walks

la la la la la la la la
la la la la la
i lie crying in bed ’cause i
hear what you said echo in my morbid mind
and i know i spend way too much of my time
thinking ’bout the way your lips felt on mine
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la
they don’t tell you how it hurts to fall in love
they just let you feel it all until it’s way too much
and i burst into tears when i get off the bus
but somehow it never really is enough (it never really is enough)
la la la la la la la la
la la la la la
and all i see is the way you smiled at me
in chemistry, when you told me you were fond of me
and i lay down on your thighs
and watched the rainbows in your eyes
i think my problem is i reminisce about the past
i will things to stay as they are but nothing lasts
and i’m scared ’cause time is passing way too fuckin’ fast
and once it’s gone, you can never ever get it back
and no-one else seems to care or really understand
they’re just getting through the year and they’re making plans
and people seem so excited for the future
but i just sit at home and feel like a loser
and i’m on the verge of sixteen (sixteen)
feeling like i’m barely even fifteen (fifteen)
and i feel too much, and not enough
i’m not enough for the people i love
and i try so hard
to be someone that you will love
i cut my hair and changed my clothes and
still i feel like no-one knows me (ooh, ooh, ooh)
i kinda have this fantasy
that we stargaze in a cemetery
and we sit on a gravestone and smoke and talk about
how it feels to grow up
and the music we love, and why it means so much
and how we feel like we will never truly be enough
and i’ll tell you my fear of dying
and what’s the point in trying
but i’ll do it for you, and i’ll do it for them
and i’ll do it for her, and i’ll do it for him (what’s the point in trying)
and i’ll do it for you, and i’ll do it for me
and i’ll do it for you, and i’ll do it for you
but they need me, so i will stay right here
tell me if you need me and i’ll be right there
and we could skip this town, and get the next ride out
and i swear i could be happy
fuck the rest, i’m not coming back
la la la la la la la la (i’m not coming back)
la la la la la (i’m not coming back)
la la la la la la la la (i’m not coming back)
la la la la la (i’m not coming back)

arson and stars

baby, do you wanna commit arson with me
and we’ll burn down a building and run
and I’ll drag you along, and the night is so long
so let’s steal a shopping cart
and fuck around till the sun comes up, and
i wanna kiss you so bad
but i don’t wanna come off too strong
so I’ll wait till i can
and we could watch the stars and pretend
that we aren’t so far
from the rest of the world, and
fuck them all
hmm, hmm, hmm
my dear, i know you’re scared
of being alone, so i’ll hold you close
and let you go when you need me to
and i hope that i’m enough for you
i feel the loneliness
as poignantly as it persists
and i love it, but i hate it
i just wanna feel it all
and we drive away from this town
on a summer’s night with the windows down
and 'loveland’s playing softly through the speakers
and you realise you love her when you leave her
you realise you love her when you leave her
baby, do you wanna commit arson with me
and we’ll burn down a building and run
and I’ll drag you along, and the night is so long
so let’s steal a shopping cart
and fuck around till the sun comes up, and
i wanna kiss you so bad
but i didn’t and now i wish that i had
and we could watch the stars and pretend
that we aren't who we are as we lie in the dark, and
fuck them all
baby, do you wanna commit arson with me
baby, do you wanna commit arson
baby, do you wanna commit arson with me

you tell them these stories so they know who you are
you tell them to me too, as if i don’t already know them
before you open your mouth
you tie this rope around my waist
and wrap it ’round an idle hand, and
every so often you give it a tug
i’m feeling things again
me too, love
but there’s no rope around your waist
only the one you’ve tied yourself
you tell me these stories so i know who you are
as if i don’t already know them
before you open your
mouth
my love, i am here, i am here, i am here
scream it at the top of your lungs
so the world will hear
i know it's bad to be so scared of time
nothing matters, we’ll die
fuck the future, we’re fine
kiss me once, close your eyes
i'm not scared, not this time
i feel safer at night, i can tell when you lie
you got in another fight
kissed your knuckles, let them fly
let them fly
i want to be apart of something bigger than me
a blunt on the grass, sitting in the skatepark
while the dark
dampens out the street
it’s just another scar on my spine
falling from rooftops in the night
you said you were mine
and then you left my life
nothing matters, then we die
nothing matters, then we die
nothing matters, then we die
well i guess i’m not alive
nothing matters, then we'll die
nothing matters, then we die
nothing matters, then we die
well i guess i’m not alive
nothing matters, we’ll die
fuck the future, we’re fine
kiss me once, close your eyes
i'm not scared, not this time
i feel safer at night, i can tell when you lie
you got in another fight
kissed your knuckles, let them fly
hold me close, i might die
actually, i am fine
I don’t think we’re alright
you seem sad all the time
live fast, then you die
i’ve tried, it’s not mine
if i could i would fight
but you don’t want me ’round and that’s fine
that’s fine
i want to be apart of something bigger than me
a blunt on the grass, sitting in the skatepark
while the dark
dampens out the street
it’s just another scar on my spine
falling from rooftops in the night
you said you were mine
and then you left my life
