The first single from Joseph Lofthouse's debut EP, The Four and Two

Fate

You're two
You're cosy
In Love, no doubt
But now, you say you ache
For nothing, and all

So dive now you've found
Your way, to the down
Pearls deep, in the dark
and closed to the world

Hold out,
Hold on
You're fine
It's in
The four, the four, the four
And two.

The Four and Two

Trade my coffee for Kerosene 
Light my insides, set fire to me 
All that smoke, no sign of coal 
This level head will leave us all 

Now i see her, 
Sitting in the darkest corners 
Pulling her strings 
And it seems this girl, could set these boys alight 

Set me burning, don't put me out 
Pour the embers on my searing doubt 
All that smoke and no sign of coal 
She only burns, and she won't be told 

Now i see her, 
Sitting in the darkest corners 
Pulling her strings 
And it seems this girl, could set these boys alight 

Now i see her, 
Sitting in the darkest corners 
Pulling her strings 
And it seems this girl, could set these boys alight

Kerosene

This started out with a lyric about a summer friend I had and the troubles he had with his girlfriend. The line: 'why can't you just grow old with Grace?' was my though upon his situation. 

The song evolved evolved into something else. A commentary on beauty and beauty's perception, from the eyes of a person who loves their partner as the world made them. 

Despite this, every time I sing that line I still think of my friend and his girlfriend, Grace. I never told them about the it, i probably still won't (unless they read this of course.) 

As far as i know they are still together.
