Cradle me, I'll cradle you
I'll win your heart with a woop a woo
Pulling shapes just for your eyes

So with toothpaste kisses and lines
I'll be yours and you'll be

Lay with me, I'll lay with you
We'll do the things that lovers do
Put the stars in our eyes

And with heart shaped bruises
And late night kisses divine

Hmm Hmm Hmm

Cradle me, I'll cradle you
I'll win your heart with a woop a woo
Pulling shapes just for your eyes

So with toothpaste kisses and lines
I'll be yours and you'll be

Toothpaste Kisses (Cover)

Picking tulips from the ground
And laying shells of them back down
Shedding teardrops all around
My mouth is shaking I can't help

This feeling is strong it's all in the sound
The silence is deadly it's filling the ground

Like the tulips on the ground
Like the tulips on the ground

Daffodils the roses too
The poppies and lilies and orchid ooo 
The colours on the ground the colours under the tree
The colours all around it's all for me

I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
To my family (my family)
Did all that you taught me
Fuck the Patriarchy 

Like the tulips on the ground
Like the tulips on the ground
Like the tulips on the ground
Like the tulips on the ground

Ahh
Ohh

Like the tulips on the ground
Like the tulips on the ground
Like the tulips on the ground
Like the tulips on the ground
Like the tulips on the ground
Like the tulips on the ground
Like the tulips on the ground
Like the tulips on the ground

Tulips

Tulips - Demo

Oh, we almost got away, we cut it close
The city's getting loud
If I choke, it's only 'cause I'm scared to be alone
Been tryin' to work it out, you should know

I would do whatever you wanted
We don't have to leave the apartment (oh)
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like

Livin' in a movie I've watched and
Funny, 'cause you couldn't have called it (oh)
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like

Oh, the train was cold, we left Connecticut
We stayed a couple hours
Our clothes matched enough to throw me off a bit
Your phone was playing "Towers" and I

I would do whatever you wanted
We don't have to leave the apartment
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like

Livin' in a movie I've watched and
Funny, 'cause you couldn't have called it
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like

And I need you sometimes
We'll be alright
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like

And I miss you some nights
We'll be alright
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like

I would do whatever you wanted
We don't have to leave the apartment
Met you at the right time
This is what it feels like

Feels Like (Live Cover)

I remember when
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions have an echo in so much space
And when you're out there without care
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Possibly

And now that you are having the time of your life
Well think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you
Who do you think you are
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control

I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on the limb
And all I remember is thinking I wanna be like them
Ever since I was little
Ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

Hmm
Hmm
Hmm
Hmm

LYRICS

This little girl, she ran through it all
This little girl, she ran through the storm
Through the thunder and lightening she wept and she wept ’til she saw
The lonely old beggar who stood by the light at the door

Ahh-ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh-ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh 

The lonely old beggar then showed her the way
They started their journey together that day
Through the dark of the forest she realised that she was afraid
She wasn’t so certain that she’d ever feel okay

Ahh-ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh-ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh

That lonely old beggar then started to fade away
She knew all along that she’d be her own saviour that day

For that little girl, her life had begun
She walked on her own, now facing the sun
This girl, she never knew herself like this before
This girl, she found herself by the light at the door

Ahh-ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh-ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh-ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh
Ahh-ahh hmm mmm

This Girl

LYRICS

Salty kisses, salty kisses in the water
I don’t wanna have to find out what it’s like here without you
Clinging on you like an octopus, like I don’t know you
Hold on to me I’ll hold you too, won’t ever let you go

Oh darling, don’t be afraid we’re ready to go

Salty teardrops on your cheek now I asked ‘how can I help you?’
You replied and said you weren’t afraid, that you were happy for us
The water running strong now moving closer together
Never wanna be apart, I think we must be destined for each other

Oh darling, don’t be afraid we’re ready to go

Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh 
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh 

Hold on to me
Hold on to me

Salty kisses, salty kisses in the salty water
I never had to find out what it was like without you
I held on to you so tight, I never thought it’d feel so right, my lover
I love you, you love me too, lets never ever let go

Oh darling, don’t be afraid we’re ready to go

Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh (wahey)
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh (wahey)
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh (wahey)
Ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh

Salty Kisses

You won’t listen to me
I’m talking to myself
You might fade away
Some day hmm  

Don’t fall in love with the afterlife
Don’t fall in love it’ll bring you to your knees
I’m falling
Falling and I can’t breathe 

You might wish for silence
I’m begging you to stay
Choose a few more years
With me hmm 

Don’t fall in love with the afterlife
Don’t fall in love it’ll bring you to your knees
I’m falling
Falling and I can’t breathe 

If you have made your mind
Then I don’t have a choice
Close your eyes
And smile hmm

And in this place where you lie
So full of death so full of life
You better run for your life
You never know you might survive 

Don’t fall in love with the afterlife
Don’t fall in love it’ll bring you to your knees
I’m falling
Falling and I can’t breathe
