I've decided that i'm not gonna lose my mind 
Hypervisual; distracted by bright lights 
My heart beats in four four time, but sometimes five 
On the corner of this crowded street 
Singing parables of old friends, busking for black coffee 
Now wide eyed with a wider smile 
'Cos this narrative is bigger than any rooftop I could climb 

So take heed, oh take heed 
Of that blood red burgundy sky 
When you feel like you're losing your mind 
Fast as the summer tides 

So take heed, oh take heed 
Of that blood red burgundy sky 
When the world declares war on your time 
Girl, rest those tired eyes 

Whilst the parties sell their plans 
In papers that I just can't buy 
I'll try to wash the blood off my hands 
Through songs that I just can't write 
Tell me, where is my peace of mind? 

Take all my shortfalls, take all my doubts 
Let 'em burn up in August droughts 
So hard to be still, but I can't think why 
Oh rest find my restless mind 
Oh rest find my restless mind 

So take heed, oh take heed 
Of that blood red burgundy sky 
When you feel like you're losing your mind 
Fast as the summer tides 

So take heed, oh take heed 
Of that blood red burgundy sky 
When the world declares war on your time 
Girl, rest those tired eyes

LYRICS:
Hearts like leaves they float along
Where oh where do they belong
Hearts like leaves they float around
Will they ever find the ground?

Tired of winds that change my ways
Won't you give our hearts some weight
Won't you give our hearts some weight
So we fall in the right places

Hearts like leaves they're to and fro
Hard to know where they will go
Aren't you tired of floating on
Floating til your time is gone

Tired of winds that change my ways
Won't you give our hearts some weight
Won't you give our hearts some weight
So we fall in the right places

When the winds have changed my ways
Won't you give our hearts some weight
Won't you give our hearts some weight
So we fall in the right places
