14 VERSES TEASER

14 Verses from the upcoming EP 'Unsolicited Material: LA'
lyrics
I didn’t see him coming but I sure did see him go 
Like the light that dies in summer with the coming of a winter snow 
Its confusing me 


I found him in a scratch card that I picked up off the street 
I thought I might have won a tenner but then millions fell in front of my feet 
Its confusing me 


He didn’t come alone though he came riding in a side car 
With a distant gentleman who I refused to take seriously 
Now hes confusing me 


I must not entertain him lest I compromise myself 
And anything that may arise from compromising his emotional health 
Hes already confused and I don’t need confusing anymore 


His skins the kind of skin that drives me up the fucking wall 
Its like it closes in around me and transports me up to heaven 
And his eyes are like dreams that are using me 
God its confusing me 


I want to feel him cradled up against me 
I wanna feel his fears release inside my grip and just for the night 
Let him use me 


Well Im confused and I am carefully protecting without thinking what could be 
If I imagine he was mine and could pack up and live with me 
If I let too many ideas present themselves in front of me 
We’ll get confused and into trouble and it will not be the first time 


Theres a million conversations going on inside my head 
About the reasons why I should or shouldn’t get you into bed 
And if my beds our destination then theres things we’ve overlooked 
And the way your looking at me now its clear that we are fucked 



I didn’t see him coming but I sure did see him go 
I didn’t see him coming onto me and now I know 
Why he didn’t close the door when he walked away 
He wants me to follow him and I want him to stay 


I want him to pretend just for a while I am in his bed 
And life was easy and he knew that it was me he loved instead 
And then wake up from the dream and go back to the man hes perfect for 
This fairytales amusing me but fuck its confusing 


So baby think of me with fondess think of me with you 
And let your body daydream with those big old eyes so blue 
We were not to be its not our destiny 
I didn’t see you coming but I wanted you to be the one 


Who’d finally get down upon his knee and make an honest girl of me 
I see our future and its shining brightly 
You’re not ready for me, im ready for you 
Our universes aren’t aligned, our timing, well, its not in time 


So fuck the happy ending but I wish it all so well 
I am a much better girl for having met you what the hell 
You would be better off inside of me than skirting my periphery 
But love you from afar I will and not assume you’ll come for me 


But I wish you all you want and if one day that should be me 
I cant promise I’ll be single but I promise you that I will be 
Everything you ever wanted, everything you need and Love Will Win

Therapy (Olivia's remix)

Declan Bennett is a British singer-songwriter who writes candid, hard-hitting, pop music. Possessing a witty and poetic way with words, unique take on life and unashamed and honest tales of life, love and sexuality, Declan has won a diverse and devoted fan base around the UK, across the US and beyond...

After releasing his sophomore record 'An Innocent Evening of Drinking' Declan had gone on to write a handful of new songs, waiting to be recorded and put on a new album he knew would be called 'record:BREAKUP'. Declan had been performing alongside Billie Joe Armstrong in Tony/Grammy award winning ‘American Idiot’ on Broadway and post show, gigging across New York, continually pushing the hours in a day to find an audience for his music. Billie Joe unexpectedly turned up at one of Declan’s late night gigs and was so moved by his new work, he stepped in to finance the recording of the album demo.

The finished version of the album was recorded in New York City with a band of his closest friends and produced by Declan himself. The new album tackles familiar themes of heartbreak and infidelity in a collection of 12 songs, designed to be heard in sequence, charting the journey through the final weeks of a relationship.
