Lyrics

You know 
You're crying on my phone
About someone I don't know
Doing something, something I don't know
And I won't 
Take your alibi no more
You said it all before
Something ever so hypocritical

So I call my friends to make sure I'm not alone
The story is difficult and that's not how this goes

And I was holding out for nothing and break down to my car
And it's been way to frickin' difficult to find out who you are
And it's a cold, cold, cold 
Bitter irony
And I was looking for an answer cause something wasn't right
And then you turned it on the table, just way too many times
And it's a cold, cold, cold
Bitter irony

Thought I was holding out for something, yeah
When you stumbled late back home
The only time you'd call
Was an accusation calling this my fault
You tell me that you're different
Something I didn't know was wrong
Cause in your eyes I'd done
Anything colder than your soul

So I call my friends to make sure I'm not alone
The story is difficult but how was I to know?

And I was holding out for nothing and break down to my car
And it's been way to frickin' difficult to find out who you are
And it's a cold, cold, cold 
Bitter irony
And I was looking for an answer cause something wasn't right
And then you turned it on the table, just way too many times
And it's a cold, cold, cold
Bitter irony

And I was holding out for nothing and break down to my car
And it's been way to frickin' difficult to find out who you are
And it's a cold, cold, cold 
Bitter irony

Lyrics

Infatuate, infatuate, infatuated

A couple weeks ago went out with a friend
Had a drink to help him get over his ex
He chatted to a girl in the bar, hit a spark, was it the start 
Of something wonderful?
'Cause now they’re spending all their time together
And they’re saying they’ll last forever
But it got me freaked out wondering whether
They can find love suited better 'cause

She's pop rock and loves Shrek
He's halloween and bumps heavy metal
His hot rod screams hell yeah
Caught in the middle got me giving some advice

Hey, remind yourself 
There's nothing wrong with being alone
Hey, I'm no saint myself
I'll admit love's complicated
Are you sure that you've fallen in love?
'Cause from where I stand I swear that you're just
Infatuate, infatuate, infatuated

He’s jamming Maiden, she’s dancing to Bieber
He’s beer and bacon but she’s pineapple on pizza
He’s a skater, she’s a book reader
And they can barely hold a conversation between them
But now they’re spending all their time together
And they’re saying they’ll last forever
But it got me freaked out wondering whether
They can find love suited better 'cause

She's pop rock and loves Shrek
He's halloween and bumps heavy metal
His hot rod screams hell yeah
Caught in the middle got me giving some advice

Hey, remind yourself 
There's nothing wrong with being alone
Hey, I'm no saint myself
I'll admit love's complicated
Are you sure that you've fallen in love?
'Cause from where I stand I swear that you're just
Infatuate, infatuate, infatuated
Infatuate, infatuate, infatuated

She's pop rock and loves Shrek
He's halloween and bumps heavy metal
His hot rod screams hell yeah
Caught in the middle got me singing one more time

Hey, remind yourself 
There's nothing wrong with being alone
Hey, I'm no saint myself
I'll admit love's complicated
Are you sure that you've fallen in love?
'Cause from where I stand I swear that you're just
Infatuate, infatuate, infatuated 
(Heavy metal)

I know you're slipping you're a thousand miles away
See no more texts your only confidence has faded
Everyone you know is pushing you away
I know you hate it 'cause I fail to say things twice
If you knew better, I'd like to think you'd try
But I hope, you take my advice when I say
Don't let your heart fall down that road
I'm begging you, begging you, begging you
Begging you please don't go
Don't let your heart fall down that road
I know you're slipping you're a thousand miles away
See no more texts your only confidence has faded
Everyone you know is pushing you away
Proved that you know how to slip away
Put your back in, pull yourself back in today
Now I think that you're fake, ok, ok
Now everybody got a thing to say
To say how they feel 'cause they don't think you're right
For me, for them, for you alright
You chat sh*t and that's what I heard
I'm so sick of feeling tired
...When I say

about:
in 2016, tom shawcroft skilfully began to fuse pop and electronic music with a strong diy ethos. as the years have progressed, tom has been upping the ante in bedroom production while concocting increasingly catchy hooks. tom’s distinctive style draws influences from acts such as jon bellion, years & years and mike posner, while adding his own signature sounds and lyrical showmanship. on february 8, tom will be releasing his new ep 'sunflowers and rainy days'; a vulnerable valentine’s ode that is a sonic departure from previous records. 

[verse 1]
singing a love song
don't mean too much
if you're f**ked up
maybe i just think too much
if you're okay
just let me know
so i don't have to wonder
where on earth this will go

[pre-chorus]
i just wanna know
if this is how you feel
we can take it real slow
before we seal the deal
every now and then
i just wanna let go
(oh)

[chorus]
if you're upset
if you're upset
if you're upset
tell me what you're really thinking
if you're upset
if you're upset
if you're upset
tell me what you're really thinking

[verse 2]
so if you're okay
i'm thinking we could go
out of the blue, just me and you
and go where we don't know
but if you're upset
i cannot help it, but
i know a place we can hide
just where we fell in love

[pre-chorus]
i just wanna know
if this is how you feel
we can take it real slow
before we seal the deal
every now and then
i just wanna let go
(oh-oh-oh)

[chorus]
if you're upset
if you're upset
if you're upset
tell me what you're really thinking
if you're upset
if you're upset
if you're upset
tell me what you're really thinking

[verse 3]
how am i
supposed to know?
what the hell you're thinking
tell me what you're really thinking
you call it love
but i don't know
what the hell you're thinking
tell me what you're really thinking

[bridge]
and if you're upset
if you're upset (tell me)
if you're upset
tell me what you're really thinking
and if you're upset
if you're upset (tell me)
if you're upset
tell me what you're really thinking

[chorus]
if you're upset
if you're upset
if you're upset
tell me what you're really thinking
if you're upset
if you're upset (i don't know)
if you're upset
tell me what you're really thinking

idk what to write, so here's the press description of the track:

‘supernova’ is the musical brainchild of Nottingham producer Tom Shawcroft, featuring the dream-like vocals of Tori Sheard. This intergalactic love song combines bedroom pop with electronic influences to paint a cosmic picture of an unlikely romance between two lovers trapped in a cold black hole. Lathered in vocal effects reminiscent of The Japanese House and Daft Punk, ‘supernova’ is the perfect backdrop to both relaxed summer afternoons and parties alike.

lyrics:

[Chorus]
I'm a fool for you, just let me know
Let me know if I control you
Fool for you, just let me know
Let me know if I'm your one and only
I've got love running through my veins
Running thick like it's nothing but novocaine
For you, just let me know
Let me know if I control you

[Verse 1]
You don't care about my heart
With every little thing you pull it apart
We could make a brand new start
Feelings don't fade, we made it this far
I got love through my veins
But everyday we stay the same
You don't care about my heart
With every little thing you pull it apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Just let me know, let me know, let me know
Let me know (If I control you)
Just let me know, let me know, let me know
Let me know

[Chorus]
I'm a fool for you, just let me know
Let me know if I control you
Fool for you, just let me know
Let me know if I'm your one and only
I've got love running through my veins
Running thick like it's nothing but novocaine
For you, just let me know
Let me know if I control you

[Verse 2]
I didn't even go to sleep last night
Felt faded 'till the world felt right
I didn't even care to breathe that night
'Cause oh god I'm not alright
And I'm falling in to something that just don't feel right
It's not sleep, it's love, and I feel so frightened I
Cannot afford to be loving someone
When I can't love myself

[Chorus]
I'm a fool for you, just let me know
Let me know if I control you
Fool for you, just let me know
Let me know if I'm your one and only
I've got love running through my veins
Running thick like it's nothing but novocaine
For you, just let me know
Let me know if I control you

lyrics:

we don't break, we just fall apart
your lover said we're a living car crash
stripping back to the worst of us
i hate to admit it, i hate this sinking feeling so

we get high and i love it sometimes
we get by reminiscing old times where we
would stay up late, time was passing us by
and you
you... yeah

break down with the words you never want to speak
listen up you're just another one of us freaks
break down with the words you never want to speak
listen up you're just another one of us freaks

i missed your call 'bout a hundred times
ignoring you just to live a lie
been pulling back so we don't survive
i hate to admit it, i hate this sinking feeling so
break into my heart and then you'll know that i'm alone
but we both know you broke it when you stepped inside my home
i'm so glad it ended when i lost all my control
for piece of mind just know that I would never hurt a soul

break down with the words you never want to speak
listen up you're just another one of us freaks
break down with the words you never want to speak
listen up you're just another one of us freaks

lyrics:
i know that i'm the one to make you feel complete
amongst some other things you fully comfort me
sometimes, i fantasise how you feel bout me
when i come alive
cause i failed to figure out 
that kind of love to fall for 
i somehow fell for a coldhearted kind of love
it was the kind to mess me up but i’ll be singing
sun's out but it's still so cold clear skies but it's been so long
since i remembered how to love myself again
so i called my friend to tell her now "it's been so long"
and i worry how we'll drift off away
my love, you're so hard to love
in years to come you'll learn to trust
so woe is me, i hope you're coming back to me in time
and i'll start feel alright
all you know, you're the one to make me feel complete
amongst some other things you finally found my feelings
buried deep inside a cage, you finally found the key
now i'm so alive
so when you're coming back, oh, i'll be all alone
waiting for you to show me how to feel at home
and i’ll leave my pride out by the door so you can see my heart, 
my all and my flaws, but i’ll be singing
sun's out but it's still so cold clear skies but it's been so long
since i remembered how to love myself again
so i called my friend to tell her now "it's been so long"
and i worry how we'll drift off away
my love, you're so hard to love
in years to come you'll learn to trust
so woe is me, i hope you're coming back to me in time
and i'll start feel alright

better if you never

track 3/10 from my sophomore album 'sunflower boy'
Tom Shawcroft 2020

Lyrics:

[Intro]
You know how I’ve been
You know that I’m just a mess
You know what you saw and
I’m just so low and depressed
You know what they say
How nothing ain't what it aint
We shouldn't go there
Life just caught me up, so don't you

[Verse 1]
Tell me what you feel
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you know
I don’t know your deal
I’m better alone
If you call, then I’ll fall
Cause you know just how to work yourself around me
Yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, you know it's better if you never call 
Oh, you know it’s better if you never 
Call me once, call me twice
Get that thought out of your mind
I need space, I need time
Just back off a little while
Oh, you know it's better if you never call me back

[Bridge]
You tried to call a million times
But you know that it’s
No good way to tell me that your fine
So don’t you

[Verse 2]
Tell me what you feel
Tell me what you see
Tell me what you know
I don’t know your deal
I’m better alone
If you call, then i’ll fall
Cause you know just everything about me
Yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, you know it's better if you never call
Oh, you know it's better if you never
But I tried, then I cried
Cause I took the wrong advice
When I lied, said I’m fine
With falling back to you every time
Oh, you know it's better if you never call me back

[Chorus 2]
But I tried, then I cried
Cause I took the wrong advice
When I lied, said I’m fine
With falling back to you every time
Oh, you know it's better if you never call me back
You know it’s better if you never call me back
Oo, you know it's better if you never

[Outro]
Call me once, call me twice
Get that thought out of your mind
I need space, I need time
Just back off a little while
Oh, you know it's better if you never call me back

better if you never

BOOM BOOM!
track 2/10 from sunflower boy

http://smarturl.it/boomboom-single

lyrics:
you wanna grab somebody make your body go boom boom
when you feel it in your blood you better go boom boom
feel a buzz till your mind can’t follow
body rush till there was no control
body shock through the bass move closer
into one with my hands all over
catch a breath to the beat’s vibration
feel the heat with no isolation
time to sink to my feeling for you
feeling I know you feel for me, oh
you wanna grab somebody make your body go boom boom
when you feel it in your blood you better go boom boom
you wanna grab somebody make your body go boom boom
when you feel it in your blood you better go boom boom
crossing lines with my blurry vision
crashing down, lack of inhibition
fading out with intoxication
in and out, up and down, sedation
running thick, through your veins, unstable
one, two, when you go boom boom
burning up, shutting down, unable
one, two when you go boom boom
you can’t take the voluntary madness of this game
and if you see it, you believe it, rest assured you’re not insane
one another, roll the dice, it's just a pleasure to claimed
i'm the one and only fucker who can take tomorrows pain
you wanna grab somebody make your body go boom boom
when you feel it in your blood you better go boom boom
you wanna grab somebody make your body go boom boom
when you feel it in your blood you better go boom boom
i knew you'd make me feel low darling
think you sold your soul to another
it's true I knew I was starting
to open up to you as a lover
but for now I'll look on the brightside
it's not only doom
I feel a rush, something in my blood 
and now I really, really, wanna go boom boom

BOOM BOOM!

alone again, *track 5* from my sophomore album 'sunflower boy'

listen to the full album: smarturl.it/sunflowerboy

[Chorus]
Some way to break it
I’m a fool just to claim
I’m not giving it up, I’m not giving it up
I’m not giving it up to be alone again
Love starts to waiver
Drift apart just to fail
You by giving it up, you by giving it up
You by giving it up to be alone again

[Verse]
I don’t wanna go home tonight
Cause my words make bitter times all the bitter
Flash back to the back streets thinking that I’ll call for you
I don’t know if I meant it, but I’ll consider (ah)
Lifestyle with the right style, I just gotta
Pipe down till it’s right now, meanwhile
Imma unpile all my things that I got
Packed on my back that I carried for lifetime
Lifestyle with the right style, I just gotta
Pipe down till it’s right now, meanwhile
Imma unpile all my things that I got
Packed on my back that I carried for lifetime

[Chorus]
Some way to break it
I’m a fool just to claim
I’m not giving it up, I’m not giving it up
I’m not giving it up to be alone again
Love starts to waiver
Drift apart just to fail
You by giving it up, you by giving it up
You by giving it up to be alone again

[Bridge]
Think back to one you know
Every second blowing up my phone
Ain't love, deep down you know
But you can't seem let go of this
Faked out with the one you call
Your lover, what a straight downfall
Uncover all the lies you told
So I don't have to waste my time

[Chorus]
Some way to break it
I’m a fool just to claim
I’m not giving it up, I’m not giving it up
I’m not giving it up to be alone again
Love starts to waiver
Drift apart just to fail
You by giving it up, you by giving it up
You by giving it up to be alone again

[Outro]
You said take time, don’t fix her
Your love strikes hard, you tricked her
You made your bed you sleep in every night
Don't tell me nothing
You called to tell me something
Your words dig deep you’re bluffing
Her love don’t mean a thing 
When she don’t wanna tell me nothing

alone again

I Want It.

idc, never mind

[Verse}
I’ve been looking for something
Even though it hurts me sometimes
To give a little love don’t mean hurting
But the bad ones corrupted my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you want me to say thank you, please stay?
‘Cause I’m honestly so proud of you, I’m proud of you
But you lied so it all means nothing at all
Pain is the way that I’ll learn to forget what you did to me

[Chorus]
You didn’t call me to tell me you’re sorry
The day your friend told me you lied
It kills me to know you don’t love me at all
But I said I don’t care never mind
It’s nothing that’s new to me ‘cause nobody’s true to me
But I just can’t leave this behind
It kills me to know you don’t love me at all
But I said I don’t care never mind
I said I don’t care never mind

[Verse]
Feels like searching forever
So I just settled one time
One time turned to forever
Even though it killed me inside

[Pre-Chorus]
Back and forth we said, thank god we met
We set up to fail with a lie to me, a lie to you
But you led me on, and you know it was wrong
I cannot change that you went out your way to regret
All that you’ve done

[Chorus]
You didn’t call me to tell me you’re sorry
The day your friend told me you lied
It kills me to know you don’t love me at all
But I said I don’t care never mind
It’s nothing that’s new to me ‘cause nobody’s true to me
But I just can’t leave this behind
It kills me to know you don’t love me at all
But I said I don’t care never mind
I said I don’t care never mind

[Interlude]
I said I don’t care never mind
I said I don’t care never mind

[Outro]
You didn’t call me to tell me you’re sorry
The day your friend told me you lied
It kills me to know you don’t love me at all
But I said I don’t care never mind
I said I don’t care never mind
