Lyrics:

Spend the rest of the night in
Spend the rest of the night in
Spend the rest of the night in

I don't know when the tables turned
The rivers dried and the old me burned
I've never felt nothing else like this
Cause when the heart benefits nothing else exists
Nah

I looked in your eyes
And I knew the answer
I broke the line, you pulled me right back
Having no suggestions
Great escape, you pulled me on track
And you showed me Zion
Like a photograph of all the things you said that I would see
Said that I would see

I fell in love with a better life, don't wanna talk about it

And did we make a mistake
Or was it meant to be
Multiple missed calls
In a cab home from our teens

And what dya think of this place
Does it fit the brief
Does it close by ten
Does it serve you herbal tea

I fell in love with a better life, don't wanna talk about it
I fell in love with a better life, don't wanna talk about it
I fell in love with a better life, don't wanna talk about it

And did we make a mistake
Was it meant to be
Multiple missed calls
In a cab home from our teens

And did we make a mistake
Or was it meant to be
Multiple missed calls
In a cab home from our teens

And what dya think of this place
Does it fit the brief
Does it close by ten
Does it serve you herbal tea

herbal tea

Lyrics:

What I ought to do
Is drop a text to you, but I
Can't believe that I am barely through
Dealing with some shit that's overdue

So I think I better jump ship
Probably should've dropped this
Before we had enough to give up, we
Should go ahead and back down slowly

Well?

But everybody fucks up once in a while
Have another drink and I will swing by
And embolden your heart back closer to mine
To mine, to mine

Tomorrow we can start the rest of our lives
Long weekends in Rome, intercity drives
If you let me attempt to make it alright
Tonight, tonight
Yeah, yeah

Can I rephrase it
I'm overthinking it daily
And now my thoughts are rearranging
And I just hope to god you're still waiting

So please let me rephrase it
I'm overthinking it daily
And now my thoughts are rearranging
And I just hope and pray you're still waiting

Hey it's me
Haven't heard from you in like three weeks
I don't know what's going on but
probably best to just call it day 

Cause everybody fucks up once in a while
Have another drink and I will swing by
And embolden your heart back closer to mine
To mine, to mine

Tomorrow we can start the rest of our lives
Long weekends in Rome, intercity drives
If you let me attempt to make it alright
Tonight, tonight

Cause everybody fucks up once in a while
Have another drink and I will swing by
And embolden your heart back closer to mine
To mine, to mine

Tomorrow we can start the rest of our lives
Long weekends in Rome, intercity drives
If you let me attempt to make it alright
Tonight, tonight

Things On My Mind

Like Wow

Rory and the Reverie’s latest single, Noir, is a collaboration with London rapper & poet CW Jones. Sprinkled with warm piano riffs and soul-nourishing trumpet, Noir is a song about moving too fast and forgetting enjoy the good things in life. Hitting the sweet spot between relaxed hip-hop and melancholy jazz, Noir has that vintage essence synonymous with today’s UK jazz scene. Noir releases via Rory’s independent label don’t film fireworks on 7th April 2023.

Lyrics:
No stress it's quite alright
I was moving the speed of light
How far it's taken me
We'll slow down eventually

Take space and fill cause I
Excel when mystified
I swear it's out of control

And I haven't had the feeling of your warmth
In so long
For so long
For so long

And I thought I'd get my healing from a whole other source
I was wrong
I was wrong

Don't hang up the line
'Cause I'm coming through
And it won't be long till I'm back next to you

It's taken a while
And all I wanna do
Is turn that record player loud and dance with you

I hope your love don't come too soon for me to handle it
I don't want to see my heart wrapped in bandages
This life is precious, I'm a sensitive soul
Sometimes the best things in life
Are the things you need to let go of
'Course I'd love you with all of my heart
But sometimes this life just ain't a walk in the park, nah
It gets confusing, twisted at times
This spiritual alignment seems to twist up my spine
'Cause, I'm only human
I thought to myself
But this spirit flows though me like I'm walking through hell
Straight to the gates where the heavens seem to greet me
Who thought that this one would come so easy
There's no judgement when your passing through life
Watch it cut so smooth as you sharpen your knife
I need to disengage in the darkness at night
And go pray

So don't hang up the line
'Cause I'm coming through
And it won't be long till I'm back next to you

It's taken a while
And all I wanna do
Is turn that record player loud and dance with you
