touch and go

Puppet

Back when I was 17 I had a big crush on Tidus - the lead character from the video game Final Fantasy X. At the time it was a big awakening for me and it made me question a lot of things about myself. Reflecting on this now, it seems so whimsical and adolescent, but like with so many strong feelings and past events in my life it's become a part of who I am today and I wouldn't be the same without it. So this song is dedicated to the boy I was, the boy I wanted to be with, and that aching longing that comes with a teenage crush.

Lyrics:

When there’s nothing to do 
Absolutely nothing to do
I sit down
And wait
And wait

Hours turn to days 
And I fade away

I’m not moving at all
I’m watching the process, yes 
I’m not moving at all
You know that I’m a big mess

The clouds are hanging low 
over my head
I wish that I could touch em 
And swirl them all round

I spend my time on balcony 
whenever I have the time 
After this I go inside
and watch shit on the TV

I’m not moving
I’m watching the process, yes
I’m not moving at all
I’m learning from you boss

How does it feel, ooh 
How does it feel, ooh 
How does it feel

Not to feel anything 
Not to feel anything 
Not to feel anything 
Not to feel anything 
Not to feel anything 
Not to feel anything 
Not to feel anything 
Not to feel anything

Lyrics:

In my mind
I created a world 
We’re safe and sound

Carnival and cotton candy
When you’re sad, it's kinda handy

There’s magic everywhere 
What kind of trickery is that? 
There’s a rabbit in a hat!

Carnival and cotton candy 
We're not sad
We’re fine and dandy

Around we go and up and down 
Around we go and up and down we go
(Around we go and up and down) 
(Around we go and up and down)

When you need to laugh 
more than you already do 
Ha ha, hoo hoo

Just think of me
and my funny looking face
and that way
we might get through these days

Stop by anytime
my ice cream parlour is always open 
for business and for you

Carnival and cotton candy 
Maybe on a beach
soft warm and sandy

(Now would you like that?)

Around we go and up and down 
Around we go and up and down
(Around we go and up and down) 
(Around we go and up and down)

You’re the funniest boy I know 
Don’t go, don’t go
Now you’re the funniest boy I know 
Don’t go, don’t go

Carnival and cotton candy, hmm..

Lyrics:

I’ve been chasing dreams around 
but I haven’t found
any reason to go on
all my hope is gone

I’ve cried so hard but it’s no use 
I’ve tried and tried but it’s too hard 
(to make life worth living)

There’s no one in my home 
So I’m going to die alone 
and soon I’ll be gone

I’ve cried so hard but it’s no use 
I’ve tried and tried but it’s too hard 
(to make life worth living)

I throw my hands up, I throw my hands up 
and walk away
I throw my hands up, I throw my hands up 
and walk away
(I gotta I give up)

I don’t want to stay and feel this way 
I’m gonna throw it all away
I can’t stand the pain

I’ve tried so hard but it’s no use 
I’m not going to try anymore 
(to make life worth living)

My body’s just a cage
to keep my soul from running away 
it doesn’t want to stay
so I’m gonna set it free today

My body’s just a cage
to keep my soul from running away 
it doesn’t want to stay
so I’m gonna set it free today

I throw my hands up, I throw my hands up 
and walk away
I throw my hands up, I throw my hands up 
and walk away
I’m gonna give up

Ah-hah, ooh, state your name and business 
Ah-hah, that’s manners
Ah-hah, state your name and business 
Ah-hah, that’s manners
(How do you do, how do you do, how do you do) 
Ah-hah, state your name and business
(How do you do, how do you do, how do you do) 
Ah-hah, that’s manners
(How do you do, how do you do, how do you do) 
Ah-hah, state your name and business
(How do you do, how do you do, how do you do) 
Ah-hah, that’s manners
