Im surprised this only has two comments! Man, these lyrics are seriously something magical. Meaningful, catchy, and everything in between. Emphasis on meaning and purpose. Something I feel like popular music has been really missing lately

This chorus reminds me of Close This case

Adam Tell: Complete


I could feel I'd fallen into a hole
Things stopped making sense a while ago
People leaving quicker than they'd appear
Won't you stick around and tell me things I don't wanna hear

I was getting good at lying low
I think my indifference was starting to show
Made me wonder why you came onto me
But I'm ok with leaving it at serendipity

I'd be lying if I said that I don't love it when you scramble my head
You're always testing my restraint, you let me loose then you pull back the reins
When you catch me feeling down, you know exactly how to bring me round
No you're nothing but bad news for the self-destructive guy you rescued

It'd be easy to fall back on my face
If you weren't here beside me sharing your grace
There were times I couldn't get out the door
Now I'm begging you to show me why we're sprawled on the floor

You've been saying it's so lovely to see
That I'm the one creating positive energy
When you found me I was working uphill
Keeping distances and promises I couldn't fulfill

I'd be lying if I said that I don't love it when you scramble my head
You're always testing my restraint, you let me loose then you pull back the reins
When you catch me feeling down, you know exactly how to bring me round
No you're nothing but bad news for the self-destructive guy you rescued

You couldn't stay away, no alibi would do
You wouldn't let me go 'til I wanted you
I began to see a different point of view
I was breaking down, now I'm breaking though
Turn the music up 'til we blow a fuse
Sing along with me, we'll make our big debut
Don't deny it girl, you're the perfect muse
You're the only one worth singing to

You're bad news for the old guy
But you're a great excuse to start a new life
We'll go slow, take the long way
"Nice n easy does it," just like they used to say
Let's shake down all the goodbyes
Close the chapter, and skip the reprise
Throw all the bad things in the archives
Nothing but you and me in the headlines

Let's not dwell on this; mistakes happen, let's move on
We shouldn't take tallies. They proved that system wrong
If you wash your hands, use my dirty water
We can come clean and we should do it together
We've got stories, roller coaster stories
And we can make this moment a tale of conquered seas
Cause I would cross an ocean of all our worst emotions
To never lose the feeling your smile gives me

We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we'll lose it all

Conversation crash, never mind, that came out wrong, don't listen to me
Let me rephrase the way I sing your song
Everything to lose, I won't take you for granted
Why say it plainly over something romantic
We've got mem'ries, disenchanted mem'ries
But we can overwhelm them with time we frame today
And give us new perspective for when we feel reflective
We can't be naive but we can meet halfway

We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we'll lose it all

All we know is what we choose to see
And all we are is whom we choose to be

We're standing on a solid base
This house just needs a coat of paint
Attention falls on tainted walls
If we can't look away, we've already lost it all



Coat Of Paint


We were a good team, we had public passwords
But plans went sideways and we went backwards
"Yes"es were "not now"s, "easy" was "somehow"
I tried to bring you in, but you just pushed back out

No explanations, only referring
No expectations on your returning
Yet here you stand with cheeks stained in sadness
Come in and dry your eyes

Love, don't speak
Keep your eyes right here, resync
Love, unwind
Gimme your eyes right here, you'll be fine

Do you remember this elevation
You were fearless, no hesitation
There might be questions you haven't answered
But I will help you relight the lantern

No better stories than second chances
We'll start a fire from broken branches
Can't wait to see you fly off the pages
This kind of freedom is so contagious

Love (I still love you, 'course I love you), don't speak (don't you say a word about it)
Keep your eyes right here (lock 'em in and don't you worry), resync (take a deep breath and bring it in)
Love (Love I know you've got this in you), unwind (don't you think it's time to let go?)
Keep your eyes right here (focus on me, don't you worry), you'll be fine

No one needs to know where you've been
Just leave it alone and take my hand
Cause there's a good life with your name on the side
It's easy to see, just open your eyes

Love, don't speak
Keep your eyes right here



Eyes Right Here


Ordinary evenings
Blasé days repeating
Maybe I'm just in-between two meanings
Creation still employs me
But passion must avoid me
Where did all this time go is still the mystery

Seeing a past life under streetlight is a harmless distraction if played right
Jump the fences, and tap your senses. Remember when you felt alive
Keep it back there for when you need it, but don't give in to temptation and feed it
It will consume you, just might kill you under its weight
Death by nostalgia

Progress quickly slows
Straight lines start to bow
Cynical thinking creeps in the shadows
Too young not to buy
A fabricated lie
To camouflage the reason why you're not letting go

Seeing a past life under streetlight is a harmless distraction if played right
Jump the fences, and tap your senses. Remember when you felt alive
Keep it back there for when you need it, but don't give in to temptation and feed it
It will consume you, just might kill you under its weight
Death by nostalgia

Death By Nostalgia


There it is, I finally figured it out
Gimme just a second, let me jot it down
I won't let another moment slip by

It's right here, no more searching anymore
It checks out by the happy couple next door
They use this answer all the time

I'll try it out, it can't be that hard to do
The first week, sure, like breaking in new shoes
But it won't be long before it's second nature

I feel calm. It's given me clarity
Shaping all my words and carrying my feet
Never been so hopeful of the future

I know I've made progress, but I want it to breathe
I haven't been sharing it with anybody but me

I'm being critical, retuning my strings
Don't we all have boxes full of broken things
I've got the song, I've found my words
I need to open up my ears and do some listening
I need to do some listening

Stay sharp, and handle yourself with care
Search for the truth, and don't chase the dare
You can so lost without warning

Have faith in the people who taught you well
And don't ever stop listening to yourself
You both know what's best for your journey

So step up, make your case, and take aim
Shoot down your guilt, release the blame
Cause I'm done with counting the score

I think back on the night I took you home
And we dragged the fighting to the phones
What the hell were we arguing for?

I'm taking my heartbreaks and setting them free
Cause none of that matters where I'm going to be

I'm being critical, retuning my strings
Don't we all have boxes full of broken things
I've got the song, I've found my words
I need to open up my ears and do some listening
A little more listening

I know you think you've gone too far
Too much remorse, too many scars
It's such a shame you've been so vain
But it's not too late to turn around
Backtrack, and take the higher ground
Everyone you love is waiting

I'm being critical, retuning my strings
Don't we all have boxes full of broken things (full of fixable things)
I've got the song, I've found my words
I need to open up my ears and do some listening
I need to do some listening

Lyrics:

We kept our intentions in the dark
and separated the tinder from the spark
I’m sure it’s obvious to them
that we’ve been selling ourselves as just good friends
It doesn’t matter how we plead
You’re wearing my name, I’ve got your fingerprints on me
Sure, it’s been fun to play the game
But it’s time we called this by its real name 

Don’t overthink the way we feel
Anticipate the slow reveal
We’ve engineered the perfect tale
We only need to part the veil
To see what’s been there all along
See the truth behind the song
The preparations have been made
For the welcoming parade

Let’s take a walk and talk this through
Relay the messages of love we hid from view
We should be clear about one thing
There’s gonna be kisses flying all around the ring
Don’t be afraid to lose control
Sit back, relax, and watch the fireworks show
The idea’s always been the same
But it’s time we called it by its real name

Don’t overthink the way we feel
Anticipate the slow reveal
We’ve engineered the perfect tale
We only need to part the veil
To see what’s been there all along
See the truth behind the song
The preparations have been made
For the welcoming parade
