Out of the Woods 06:01
lyrics
buy track
When you need you call my name 
 And I’m not there to ease your pain
 Cast the last straw 
Camel won’t take no more 

Hold my gaze 
But you won’t 
I’ll turn your page 
That you loath
 
Deep breaths, don’t get so distressed 
The trail is long and treacherous 
You say that I’ll never feel your pain 
But we all get lost in the woods the same 

 Hold my
 Hold my gaze 
But you won’t 
You can’t change On your own 

When you need you call my name 
But I’m out of the woods and I don’t want to go back again 
You say that you really hate that place 
But I think that you really want to stay 

In the woods you want to stay 
You don’t want me to find you 

 I can’t help if you don’t talk If you don't talk 
I’m giving up

Rapture 03:35
lyrics

Butterfly, I’ve lost my way 
Saint Peter won’t let me 
Through the Pearly Gates 
I need someone to blame 

Butterfly, there’s no escape 
I’ll have to play along If it feels so great Then why is it so wrong?

 We’ll fly high until we reach the top 

Butterfly, I’m in too deep 
I’ve nowhere left to reach 
I’m ok, I’ll be ok Just tell me this is safe We’ll fly high until we reach the top Sometimes the top’s too much for us
 
Crash down 
Go up Crash down 
Go up, up
 And crash down
 
Go up and crash down 
You go up and crash down 

Go up and crash down

Flight Mode 04:06
lyrics
buy track
The day you left for the sky 
You said you’d call every day 
But now I’m losing my mind
 You’ve had no signal for days 
How are supposed to survive? 

As I wake you shut your eyes
 We can’t seem to get it right 
When you’re sleeping, I’m thinking Of dreaming about you 
I wake up to the sunrise
 Just so I can say goodnight 
When I’m dreaming I can’t help thinking 
 That you’re not next to me

 Am I victim of your lies?
 Is this beyond your control? 
I’m so alone, I’m so deprived 
And I can’t bear to let you know 

As I wake you shut your eyes
 We can’t seem to get it right 
As you’re sleeping, I’m thinking Of dreaming about you
 I wake up to the sunrise
 Just so I can say goodnight
 When I’m dreaming I can’t help thinking 
That you’re not next to me 

I need you

Love It 'Til It Gets Old 04:36
lyrics
buy track
We want to feel special but now we all look the same 
And all that we see on our scrolls gets in our heads
 Love it ’til it gets old 

My clothes all have holes and the stains won’t come out But it’s alright if it's vintage 
And I’m blanking my past on the street Cause I’m a ‘brand new me’
 Love it 'til it gets old 
Love it ’til it gets old

 You’ll be my step on my journey up 
I’ll climb higher than any funky monkey
 Tell me I’m beautiful and I will Love you until you turn your back 
Love it ’til it gets old 
Love it ’til it gets old 

Obscurity is what frightens me so I scramble to make a scene 
It’s probably wrong but I don’t really care Voices in my head keep me from sleep
 They’ll love me ’til I get old 
They’ll love me ’til I get old 

You’ll be my step on my journey up
 I’ll climb higher than any funky monkey 
Oh my god, I just love this song
 But I didn’t make it past the first verse 
Love it ’til it gets old 
Love it ’til it gets old 

I used to be special, but now I’m just underpaid 
And the legacy I’ve left is that strangers don’t recall my name 
I promised myself once I won’t give into these ways
 But my word is failing fast, I can’t keep up this charade
 
Sow in me the seeds of doubt and I will Grow taller, grander, more fragile 
And when the cracks start showing up That’s when I’ll start again 
A cycle of aspirations leave me left With nothing to call my own
 And after all this time and effort Will they love me when I get old? 

 We want to feel special but now we all look the same We want to feel special but now we all look the same
 Love it ’til it gets old

Thunder 04:46
lyrics
buy track

How could I not be jealous when you’re as perfect as you are?
 How could I not feel sick when I see them watching you from afar
? I want you to stay, I want you to promise not to stray
 Cause I don’t feel safe, now I’m out here on my own The clouds are going dark

 You are my shelter from all the thunder 
I’m scared of thunder
 I’m scared of thunder
 You’ll be my cover, hide me from monsters 
I’m scared of thunder 
I’m scared of thunder 

I claw at the ground 
But the cracks in the sky open up and you’re nowhere to be found 
You tell me it’s all ok 
But now my head’s filled with drops of doubt and they surround 
I want you to stay, I want you to promise not to stray 
They might call me insane, but I’m happier just to know Before you let me down

 Cause you are my shelter from all the thunder 
I’m scared of thunder 
I’m scared of thunder
 You’ll be my cover, hide me from monsters
 I’m scared of thunder 
I’m scared of thunder
 
Could you say I’m easy?
