This is a single by cavetown uploaded to YouTube, which is, I assume, a demo to the song with Kina that was released later.

Trying Not To Cry

Cavetown - Trying Not To Cry

i wrote this yesterday very quickly. it's nice that writing songs is becoming a little easier :-) hope you all like it

buy it if u wanna! <3

the idea of you

sticking with the theme of happy sounding love songs, here's the latest addition... "cliché"! i hope you all enjoy it, i had a lot of fun writing it and i think it's rather fun to listen as well. :-) i've also noted that people really like having lyrics so here they are haha:

i walked into the room and i then i saw your face
you looked me in the eye
i wanted to erase myself, myself 

i didn’t wanna fall but then i stepped right in
i looked down at the ground 
and then i felt it right within, it was too late for me (late for her)

you took a step forward and tilted your head
with a curious glance you stared
and i felt dead, oh my god, i think i’m dying!

you said “hey”
and i said “hello”
what’s your name?
i’d really like to know 
about you, too bad i stopped at “hello.”

i just stared
and you grinned
and looked right back
it felt like just one big whirlwind one big whirlwind

over the next few days we got to talking
with every single word i started falling
farther and farther for you

you were witty and so charming
you swept me off my feet
you made me laugh you made me blush
oh no one could compete (no one could compete!)
it seemed to good to be true (it was too good to be true)
i wanted to be with you (and only with you)
we clicked like legos 
or the clacking of tap shoes 

you say “hey”
i said “hello,
how was your day?”
you said “better now” with a smile.
oh what a cliché.
but to be honest it made my day!

i didn’t wanna fall but then i stepped right in
i looked up at your face
and those eyes , they drew me in, it was too late for me

that’s what we were
a simple cliche
it wasn’t made to work 
but i wouldn’t have it any other way 

you were witty and so charming
you swept me off my feet
you made me laugh you made me blush
oh no one could compete (no one could compete!)
it seemed to good to be true (it was too good to be true)
i wanted to be with you (and only with you)
we clicked like legos 
or the clacking of tap shoes 

you say “hey”
i said “hello,
i gotta know, do you feel this way?”
you said “yeah i do, but i was scared of what you might say…”

that’s all we were,
a silly cliché
i still think you’re cute
but maybe it’s better this way

bah duh dum
bah duh dum
bah duh duh duh duh dum

bah duh dum
that’s okay
we’re just a little cliché
duh dah dum,
and that’s okay!

cliché

click here to buy :-)!

it's been a long time coming, but here it is, i hope you all like it

chords: Dmin G C C7

lyrics:
i’m happy for you
i’m smiling for you
i’d do anything 
for you for you

it’s always for you
and never or me
i need it to stop 
so let me tell you please

i’m always sad
and i’m always lonely 
but i can’t tell you 
that i’m breaking slowly

closed doors
locked in, no keys
keeping my feelings hidden 
there is no ease

i need it to stop
and i want to be able
to open up but, 
my feelings are fatal
(my feelings are fatal)

how many times
must i keep it inside
i need to let go 
and i swear that i’ve tried

but opening up 
means trusting others
and that’s just too much, 
i don’t want to bother

so i’ll keep it inside 
and bury it deep
i know it’s not healthy 
but you won’t hear a peep

though i’m always sad
and i’m always lonely
i could never tell you
that i’m breaking slowly

closed doors
locked in, no keys
keeping my feelings hidden 
there is no ease

i need it to stop
and i want to be able
to open up but, 
my feelings are fatal
(my feelings are fatal)

something

buy it here!

feelings are fatal

hey everyone !! im back and alive fortunately
I wrote this song many years ago, I mean when I was literally 12 almost 13 so it wasn’t that long ago I lied
anyway
it’s a song that’s a little hard to explain but im sure yall will get it, its not what I normally post, if no one likes it that’s okay but yeah 
here it is !!
I had a terrible day and music makes me happy so 
ALSO i got a mic and im confused about it, i tried my best but i suck at audio !!

lyrics:
I know you
And I know you don’t wanna stay with me right now
Follow through
I took more photographs of you 
Than you would ever consciously allow
You think I don’t know about her
Just look at her 
With her bright blue eyes and peppermint smiles
You cant resist
I know her
And I know that she smells like bubblegum and peach
But have you heard
Have you heard I feel like comfort in blankets
And love and safety
What can I do to to change your mind
Just look at her
With her bright blue eyes and peppermint smiles 
Ill never win
She is bright and yellow and bubbly
While ill stay here and disappear like this
I know me and I know I could never try to face the truth
The truth is she 
Shes a lovely girl that gives you lovely company
Ill stay silent and ill wish
That I was anything like her
I wish I had bright blue eyes and peppermint smiles
That you cant resist

thank you for listening !! all criticism good and bad are appreciated !

peppermint smiles

lyrics: 
tall and gentle
too hot to handle
you’re all i want
you’re all that i want oh please 
don't u know baby

sweet as nectar
honeysuckle
you make everything fun so
oh boy
my sweet boy

{*insert rap attempt*}
you got a smile so bright
your pearls be making me so blind
you sugar coat your words
just to make sure that i dont get hurt
you make me higher than a sire
treat me like royalty 
do me a favor 
and just take me away

{back to top}

~ lyrics ~

this is erosion 
grinding up rocks with your molars 
a big fish swims past your rod 
you can’t catch it, it’s far too fast 

deep hook marks in rubber lips 
i see your eyes in the flowers 
i’ll pick a bunch for your room 
green and blue to match your pictures 

you looked so good in green 
i hope you’re well 
and you look so good with him 
and i’m proud of you still 
i miss your perfect teeth 
i was too blunt 
i hope you feel happy 
that’s all i want 

mess in the kitchen 
i was so disappointed 
i guess i got to my head 
and i was too young to understand it 

i get it now that it’s too late 
i never stopped feeling guilty 
i’m over it, i promise that 
i just gotta sing it out of me 

you looked so good in green 
i hope you’re well 
and you look so good with him 
and i’m proud of you still 
take care of my shirt 
warm and red 
i hope you think of me 
still as your friend 
i hope you love yourself 
your body and heart 
i hope you feel happy 
that’s all i want

few words about "green" from cavetown:

"About a girl I love a lot, who's probably the most flawless person I can think of. I've been selfish in the past and didn't treat her properly because I was new to loving people like that and I didn't know what I was doing. I still feel bad about it, but it was a learning curve for me and I'm better now because of it. She still holds a special warm place in my heart and it just genuinely makes me happy now to see her happy."

cavetown - green

it's all temporary, just hang on it'll become better. 

lyrics:
how does it feel
to feel nothing at all i wonder
i imagine it’s grey
like the world suddenly lost its color

but i’d be lying if i said
i hadn’t wished to feel nothing 
to feel nothing at times

cause feelings are painful
i don’t wanna suffer through 
all those moments without you
when i lost you

anger and sadness 
they’re always there
they’re always pretty rough 
to cope with 

feelings oh feelings
you tear me apart 
i wish i could start again
again

but i know that there’s the other side
the one that i can’t see right now
but i’ll find it 
yeah i’ll find it

and when i do
i’ll be 
so better for the rest
so much better in my chest
can you feel can you feel 

and when you do 
you’ll be
so happy that you felt
so happy that you dealt with it 
yeah you dealt with it 

feelings oh feelings
you tear me apart 
i wish i could start again
again

but i know that there’s the other side
the one that i can’t see right now
but i’ll find it 
yeah i’ll find it

and i used to think
that being numb would ease the pain
but i was wrong
i was so wrong

it’s just better to feel 
and know you’re alive
while reminding yourself that it’s temporary
oh it won’t last for long

purchase it here :-)

temporary nothing

Cavetown - Another One Of Those Days

[Verse 1]
If I found someone to stick like glue to
I'd probably peer out from the leaves
Hide a couple roses up my sleeve
And I always find myself stuck in this love goo
Feelings are hard to ignore
Especially when you don't know what they're for

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't know just what makes flowers bloom
But I hope that they'll enjoy a tune

[Chorus]
So if the only love I'll feel is for bumblebees
That's fine with me
That's fine with me
And if I'll only ever dance with pine trees
That's fine with me
That's fine with me

[Verse 2]
It's lonely in the forest that I grow in
I wish I could dive into the sea
But I'm stuck inside a hive covered in honey
I never really know which way I'm goin'
But I guess the weather's warm enough to bear
And I never have to brush or do my hair

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't know just what makes flowers bloom
But I hope that they'll enjoy a tune

[Chorus]
So if the only love I'll feel is for bumblebees
That's fine with me
That's fine with me
And if I'll only ever dance with pine trees
That's fine with me
That's fine with me

[Bridge]
It's lonely in the coral reef I float in
I wish I could swim out of the sea
But sharks are circling and nothin's easy
I still don't really know which way I'm goin'
But I guess the water's warm enough to bear
And I'll never have to wash or dry my hair

[Pre-Chorus]
I miss watching the flowers bloom
But at least I can keep writing tunes

[Chorus]
So if the only love I'll feel is for bumblebees
That's fine with me
That's fine with me
And if I'll only ever dance with pine trees
That's fine with me
That's fine with me
