Just two weeks in and I already miss you,
Just one more week and I swear I'll love you.
'Cause you've got that look in your eyes and that adorable smile,
Maybe we could sit and stare a while.
'Cause I haven't felt this way since 2015 or so,
And I know it seems so easy to say these things,
But I mean every word I say,
'Cause I've got a feeling that this,
Yeah this might be..
(This might be permanent)
Maybe we could build something together,
Like a pub or a club in the countryside,
You'll warm up their hearts like a log fire,
And we'll sing until we close.
We won't change the world,
But we'll give it all we've got.
'Cause I haven't felt this way since 2015 or so,
And I know it seems so easy to say these things,
But I mean every word I say,
'Cause I've got a feeling that this,
Yeah this might be,
This might be permanent.
I won't let you down,
I won't let you go.
I can't let you down,
I can't let this go.
'Cause I haven't felt this way since 2015 or so,
And I know it seems so easy to say these things,
But I mean every word I say,
'Cause I've got a feeling that this,
Yeah this might be,
This might be permanent.
I've got a feeling,
Yeah, I've got a feeling,
That this might be permanent.

Easy

Used to see you once or twice on my nine to five week,
You broke up the monotony with every word you'd speak,
But if no-one can know the way you light up my dark,
Then what do we call this feeling besides a spark?
Now we're getting drunk in the same bedroom,
Getting off on the smell of perfume,
There's something in the air and I'm sure you kinda feel it too,
I can tell by the way you cling to me like industrial glue.
Now I don't know where we go from here,
I'll keep it a secret if you do,
My lips are sealed but they're turning blue,
And I still need you but I don't want to believe you,
This could have been so easy.
Now I don't know if or when I'm gonna see you again,
I can't blame you but I don't think I could just be your friend.
'Cause there's things that we've seen,
And places that we've been,
But I don't believe I could cut it off clean.
I don't think I've been caught in something more one-sided,
I'd like to hear that you feel it too but I didn't write this,
If Saturday was a memory and that's all it ever will be,
I'll carry it like a photograph and I'll keep it with me.
I'll keep it a secret if you do,
My lips are sealed but they're turning blue,
And I still need you but I don't want to believe you,
This could have been so easy.
(It could've been so easy)
I'll keep it a secret if you do,
My lips are sealed but they're turning blue,
And I still need you but I don't want to believe you,
This could have been so easy.
I'll keep it a secret if you do,
My lips are sealed but they're turning blue,
Nice to meet you but I don't think I need you,
This could have been so easy.
(It could've been so easy)

Distance

And it might seem a little strange,
That we're all wrapped in silence,
'Cause after all that we shared,
I needed a little distance.
I tried to work out what went in your head,
When I felt all the things I shouldn't have said.
And sometimes I write down my dreams,
Just in case you show up in one of them.
And I can't wait for the stars to come out,
And I'll see you again.
And I can't wait for the sun to come down,
And maybe you'll need a friend.
And after that long afternoon of playing it over and over,
I still didn't know what I would say,
When the only words that came to mind were "please stay".
I tried to pretend I didn't need you,
And act like I'm easy and all laid back,
But the truth is I need you,
God damn, I need you.
And I can't wait for the stars to come out,
And I'll see you again.
And I can't wait for the sun to come down,
And maybe you'll need a friend.
Even though it's going to be so hard,
I think I can make it through,
I can't wait to see you again,
When the stars come out tonight.
'Cause there's a light at the end of the tunnel,
I think it's kinda calling my name.
I'm okay.
And I can't wait for the stars to come out,
And I'll see you again.
And I can't wait for the sun to come down,
And maybe you'll need a friend.
No, I can't wait for the stars to come out,
And I'll see you again.
No I can't wait,
For the sun to come down.
('Cause I miss you and I need you,
Maybe it'll make love stronger,
But I don't want to know,
This isn't how far I want to go.)
And I can't wait for the stars to come out,
And I'll see you again.
No I can't wait,
For the sun to come down.

I saw you in my sleep the other week,
When did my dreams get so bleak?
When did everything get so bleak?
We carved our names into a tree,
Like that's how it would always be,
As if that's how it would always be.
Said we'd plan our own little family,
Little feet running circles around me,
Now you're talking shit about me.
And there were good times but then,
I didn't think you'd do this again,
Line up some other fool to pretend.
Did you leave your heart in Minnesota?
'Cause I didn't think in four years that this would be over,
And what the fuck were you doing,
When I was there in ruins?
Now I've got to pick up the pieces.
I'm gonna get high off your remedy,
'Cause this is the man I thought I'd never be,
And there were nights when I'd never sleep at all,
But if I did I'd dream of cliffs and I'd always fall.
You could have just told me,
We could have had a talk,
But in the end you took the decision to walk.
Did you just feel some sympathy for his fucked up personality?
You know I can't think of anything,
Oh and I can't think of anyone worse.
Did you leave your heart in Minnesota?
'Cause I didn't think in four years that this would be over,
And what the fuck were you doing,
When I was there in ruins?
Now I've got to pick up the pieces.
And I won't try,
I won't try to remember you.
And I bet your life feels like a fucking fairy tale,
Well let me tell you that those fairy tales aren't real.
And I bet that you think that you were right all along,
If that were the case I wouldn't write this song.
Did you leave your heart in Minnesota?
'Cause I didn't think in four years that this would be over,
And what the fuck were you doing,
When I was there in ruins?
Now I've got to pick up the pieces.
And I bet your life feels like a fucking fairy tale,
Well let me tell you that those fairy tales aren't real.
And I bet that you think that you were right all along,
If that were the case I wouldn't write this song.
And there were good times but then,
I didn't think you'd do this again,
Line up some other fool to pretend.
