Summerset Stunner

It's been a year of ups and downs
Our silhouettes well they run through the town
But I never thought I'd fall in love like this
It's been a long and lovesick winter
I take your hand and start to splinter
Is this pain something I've started to miss
If I fall asleep in a sea of light blue lullabies
Could I get away without saying goodbye?
We're singing songs about the summer
I try to tell you but I stutter
I guess what goes around will come around again
You're sitting by the river side
I'd tell a joke and hope you'd smile
I wish you weren't my summerset stunner
Thinking fast and talking slow
If I take a chance how will it go?
Cause you're running through my mind but I'm never more than a few steps behind
If I told you how I felt, how would you feel?
Would we be stuck or could we be real?
But I think we both know that I'm stuck inside this wheel
What if my summer never comes?
What if I never sing this song?
What if I never hold your hand?
But my heart will still be yours
You're still in my head
As I lay in bed
I can't forget all of the things I'd say to you
Will I come to see
That you feel the same as me?
Will I get off with an early plea?
Or will my heart drift out to sea?

Tightrope

Pulling on a thread
Chasing daydreams round and round my head
Goes round and round again
Now I'm deep in dread
Get me off this ride I need to mend
One foot then the other you'll be fine
All these thoughts sway back and forth
And all I can do is wonder
How to keep from going under
Just don't look down
Cause we're walking on a tightrope
Where it stops well baby who knows
All these thoughts sway back and forth
And all I can do is wonder
How to keep from going under
Just don't look down
Cause we're walking on a tightrope
Where it stops well baby who knows
Well I’m trying to take these chances
Trying to keep my balance
Trying to catch my breath before it's all too much to manage
This time I promise I’ll get my head right
So promise me you’ll hold on tight
Keep your arms outstretched and head towards the stars
I’m praying that I don’t fall off this time

Shimmer

I've been living life to feel the sunrise
But all I see are monochrome, dull empty skies
Well I always said I'd rather hate the truth than love the lie
But these empty silhouettes that leave me asking why
You're all I see when I look in the mirror
I guess I've grown into you more than I’d like to admit
Tracing lines between the dots from last December
All these patterns flood my mind and I can't stand the shape of it
Daydreams, ripped jeans, all in on red
At least that’s the plan
I know sometimes I push it all aside
But the look in her eyes is forever alive
Inside my mind, they shimmer in that starlight tonight
Through it all I'm ever living for the day
When you'd come home, we'd be alone and you'd make it go away
And I'd say all of the things that bother me
You'd be right there and you'd see
Through the ups and downs you'd be better off with me
Do you take time out of your busy life
To cross my mind, sharpen your knife
Cutting through these walls of grey
Watching my hope fall, fade away
Well Is it cliche to say I’ve grown to love this pain?
So day by day I’ll hope for change
But for now, I guess I’m stuck in my ways
You’re everywhere inside my head
And I don’t understand
That’s something I can’t stand

Homebound

I guess I don't get to choose
Every time you look at me
There's no place I’d rather be
Than sitting right next to you
Wishing this was all brand new
Didn't think I could be this blue
Photo album on your countertop
It reminds me of yesterday
Well I never knew
Didn't think this through
I just wish that you could have stayed
I got those heartbreak memories headed for home
I can run, I can cry, but then I'll sit here alone
Every time I try and think of where we went wrong
I end up stuck in my headspace singing that song
Seeing sunsets over golden mountains
Watching the rays shine through your hair
Oh it made me feel alive
But I'm still waiting here, waiting for the sun to rise
It feels like forever ago
Standing here, I never want to know
I always take things far too slow
I'll be watching from a distance
I wouldn't want to miss this
I never knew how to find a part of you I didn't like

Embers

Let’s take it back to the start
Been chasing circles for too long
Always wishing for something out of reach
Craving every day to cradle the notes you left sprawled on the table
All the things that you leave just out of reach
You're burning up the oxygen
Now there's no air left to breath
You're twirling on the tabletops taking centre stage
I'm watching as you smile so bright
But if I say "I love you" I'll catch alight
And I just can't stand the pain tonight
Everywhere that I go and everywhere that I look
I hear your voice cut through
It calls me back to you
All those times we talked until midnight
All the stories we told to escape this life
But nothing could hold a candle to your eye
Now I stand here on the line
Should I tiptoe on thin ice?
Will I bend and break this time?
Or will I be alright?
I’m running from these burning embers
It doesn't feel like I am free
And if I tell you I don’t love you
Would you ever forgive me
So will I say I love you?
What if you say I love you?
So will I say I love you?
So will "I love you" and catch alight?
But I just can't stand the pain tonight
