When The World Stopped Moving: The Live EP

...What Are We?

Surface Tension

Surface Tension (Stripped)

just to break my heart

(Alright, okay)

Loving you’s illegal, melted sin
One look at those brown eyes, falling in
Dreaming of your laughter, the bluntness, and the sarcasm

Do you even notice I’m in awe?
Drop dead gorgeous, full of flaws 
Take me in your arms, paint me in your love, let me see your soul

I don’t want you to go
Romanticizing a ghost i’ve brought into my home
Into my home
Brought into my home

Call me on a dead line, make a scene
Catch all the butterflies and all the trees 
I don’t wanna leave, I don’t wanna leave 
(Show me that you need, show me that you need me)

Lay me on the sofa, take my heart
Put it on the coaster next to our art
I just wanna love, i just wanna love 

I don’t want you to go
Romanticizing a ghost I’ve brought into my home

I don’t want you to go (call me on a deadline, make a scene, catch all the butterflies and all the trees)
Romanticizing a ghost I’ve brought into my home (I don’t wanna leave, I don’t wanna leave, show me that you need, show me that you need me)

Into my home (call me on a deadline, make a scene)
Brought into my home (catch all the butterflies and all the trees, I don’t wanna leave, I don’t wanna leave)

Into my home (show me that you need, show me that you need me)
Brought into my home

deadlines.

House Song

LYRICS:
You throw your arms open wide and I extend my hand
I’m running out of excuses not to let you in
Call it the burden of the human race
My deepest longing and my deepest fear 
Are exactly the same

If you really knew me
Could you really love me
I keep on hiding out and holding it in
If you really saw me
Would you really want me
I don’t know how to let you love me again
And I extend my hand

I hear us talking around the words we ought to say
I’ll be a sketch of myself for now to play it safe
Still I can feel you pulling on my heart
And I could tell you what I want in the end
But I’m lost in my head at the start

If you really knew me
Could you really love me
I keep on hiding out and holding it in
If you really saw me
Would you really want me
I don’t know how to let you love me again
And I extend my hand
