Heaven Only Knows

Heaven must be lonely
I could let you love me
Whisper all your high hopes
Heaven only knows where we'll go
Soft touch, sugar rush
Fire when our fingers brush
I know you're leaving soon
I'm nervous through the afternoon
Stomach full of wanting you
I know you're leaving
You leave me grieving
Heaven must be lonely
I could let you love me
Whisper all your high hopes
(I won't tell if you don't)
I'll take off your brave face
Take you on a blind date
Kiss me with your eyes closed
Heaven only knows where we'll go
Wide-eyed twenty-three
Chasing technicolour dreams
Is there a place for me?
I’m calculated to a fault
Never one to risk it all
But you’re the thing I can’t let go
Heaven must be lonely
I could let you love me
Whisper all your high hopes
(I won't tell if you don't)
I'll take off your brave face
Take you on a blind date
Kiss me with your eyes closed
Heaven only knows where we'll go
Up we go, we go
To where the stars blow up
And planets glow, they glow
Up we go, we go
Where we end up heaven only knows
Heaven only knows where we’ll go
Heaven must be lonely
I could let you love me
Whisper all your high hopes
(I won't tell if you don't)
I'll take off your brave face
Take you on a blind date
Kiss me with your eyes closed
Heaven only knows where we'll go

Atoms

Caught you looking at me with those eyes
You just pull me in
Caught my heart in my throat
I forget how to swallow it
And we fall to the ground
In the way that children do
I’m a planet a slave to the physics
I orbit you
And I’m so tired of the same politeness
Of the people I have always known
Crash into me with that white-hot fury
That you keep inside your trembling soul
And we can change the world
Flashing forward in time
You and I have the world by storm
Making giants from atoms
And fires to keep us warm
And we fall to the ground
In the way we knew we would
I’m a magnet and you’re so attractive
You got me good
And I’m so tired of the same politeness
Of the people I have always known
Crash into me with that white-hot fury
That you keep inside your trembling soul
And we can change the world

Modern Love

Life isn’t fair
It’s a game of luck
Let down your hair
Let’s keep it hush
Don’t think too much
Saw you online
Thought you looked nice
Gazed from my screen
With medallion eyes
Oh my, they’re just my size
No, don’t look down
Don’t run away
Who cares what people say?
This modern love is here to stay
Do you wanna run away?
Run away, run away
From what we need
Oh won’t you
Run away, run away
Run away with me
Don’t think too much
Saturday sky
Table for two
Smashed avo like
I’m smashing you
It’s baby blue
No, don’t look down
Don’t run away
Who cares what people say?
This modern love is here to stay
Do you wanna run away?
Run away, run away
From what we need
Oh won’t you
Run away, run away
Run away with me
Don’t think too much
Don’t think too much

Are You Dreaming of Me?
03:01

Are you awake, are you asleep
Are you dreaming of me?
Holding my phone, sitting alone
On the bench where we’d meet
Been a few years since all the tears
That I shed over you
But I still see you in my dreams
Do you see me there too?
Everyone says you will forget
When you find someone new
All of the ghosts haunting the past
Will stop following you
Leave ‘em behind, you will be fine
How I wish that were true
Cause if it were I wouldn’t still,
Still be thinking of...
Everyone that I’ve ever loved
Holds a place in my heart
Whether I like it or not and
Every time that I love again
Nobody goes, the space just grows
Are you awake, are you asleep
Are you dreaming of me?
Holding my phone, sitting alone
On the bench where we’d meet
Been a few years since all the tears
That I shed over you
But I still see you in my dreams
Do you see me there too?
Now that I’ve found someone to love
For the rest of my life
I think of you less, but I confess
That from time to time
I will wake up and I will start
Humming a familiar tune
And I will smile when I realise
I was dreaming of you

Older

Somebody told me
When you get older you long for your youth
But you’ll never get it back
So you’d better make it last
I could’ve sworn they were telling the truth
I lived with the fear
That I wouldn’t do all I wanted to do
Oh, I was terrified
That I’d run out of time
Yeah I was a whirlwind and then I met you
And if you’re to get older
I want to get older with you
And if you’re to suffer
I wanna carry that burden with you
It’s not about me getting my way
Although you know that I want you to stay
So let’s spend the years slowing it down
Watch the lines appear like the stars coming out
And when you get older
I’m gonna kiss you like we were eighteen
Lying on the running track
Watching the sky go black
We were the happiest we’d ever been
And if you’re to get older
I want to get older with you
And if you’re to suffer
I wanna carry that burden with you
It’s not about me getting my way
Although you know that I want you to stay
So let’s spend the years slowing it down
Watch the lines appear like the stars coming out
And time slows down
As the stars come out
And I know the years ahead might
Wear us down to the core
But I’m not scared anymore
It’s not about me getting my way
When you get older
I will be older too
And when you suffer
I’ll carry that burden with you
It’s not about me, yeah it’s about us
It’s about compromise, patience and love
So let’s spend the years slowing it down
Holding you close while the stars all go out
And we’ll be much older
