White Noise
03:46
|
|||
Pull me up and hit space
and I'll play quietly in the background
so unobtrusive to whatever it is
you're not doing while I'm around (doing while I'm around)
Switched off and tuned out
and I can't dial you in
so I thumb-wrestle with myself right beside you
maybe that way I can get a win
You don't wanna be by yourself
and I don't think I can be myself
if it's making you overwhelmed
so now I just feel like
White noise that you put on
to help you sleep while you're awake
I think I might be a set of fucking RGB lights
that you can set to whatever mood you like
am I just a universal adapter
plug and play straight out of the packet
when you're near the sound of my voice (sound of my voice)
all you hear is a bright white noise
Sit me down, shift me around
'till I'm on the right frequencies (sit me down every time)
and I don't get it, do you even want a human there?
I think you need an NPC, baby
'cause you don't wanna be by yourself (by yourself)
but I don't think I can be myself (be myself)
If it's making you overwhelmed
now I just feel like
White noise that you put on
to help you sleep while you're awake
I think I might be a set of fucking RGB lights
that you can set to whatever mood you like
am I just a universal adapter
plug and play straight out of the packet
when you're near the sound of my voice (sound of my voice)
all you hear is a bright white noise
White noise that you put on
to help you sleep while you're awake
I think I might be a set of fucking RGB lights
that you can set to whatever mood you like
Am I just a universal adapter
plug and play straight out of the packet
when you're near the sound of my voice
all you hear is a bright white noise
a white noise that you can put on
to help you sleep while you're awake
I think I might be a set of fucking RGB lights
to put colour in the room in the dead of night
I wanna help make it all go away
but it's not like you'd listen to a word I say
When you're near the sound of my voice (my voice)
when you're near the sound of my voice
all you hear is a bright white noise

Roomie
03:35
|

(you live in my head for free)
(not much space but now you've got the keys to the)
(front door of all of me)
(I was living alone but now I guess I got a roomie)
Don't look at me like that again (don't look at me like that again)
'cause I might fall so hard
that I break every bone in my body
I felt like I could use a friend (felt like I could use a friend)
but I got much more, now you're with me 24/7
going up, but now we're stuck in the lift together
You've gotta see
what you do to me
and I'd venture to say that you like it
and you break me down
to my component pieces
try to put me back together
but now it's a tight fit
'cause you live in my head for free
there's not much space but now you've got the keys to the
front door of all of me
I was living alone but now I guess I got a roomie
You live in my head for free
there's not much space but now you've got the keys to the
front door of all of me
I was living alone but now I guess I got a roomie
I feel like I've been split down the middle (split down the middle)
but the upkeep costs stay the same
and the bills I pay they haven't changed
and I feel like this is a bit of a one-sided arrangement
and I think we might default on our payments
'cause you live in my head for free
there's not much space but now you've got the keys to the
front door of all of me
I was alone but now I guess I got a roomie
you live in my head for free
there's not much space but now you've got the keys to the
front door of all of me
I was living alone but now I guess I got a roomie
(you) 'cause you didn't pay a god damn thing
you just barged right in
and now you've got the keys to the (keys to the)
You live in my head for free
there's not much space but now you've got the keys to the
front door of all of me
I was living alone but now I guess I got company
You live in my head for free
I gotta get the locks changed cause now you know the way to the
front door of all of me
'cause I was living alone but now I guess I got a roomie

Intimate
03:52
|
|||
You come sit next to me
not being weird about it, we've been messaging
non-stop so much it's embarassing
but i don't know what's happening
you're close in a different way
its like you're tryna instigate something
your touch so understated
can't help but reciprocate it
so i ask for the light
but i just wanna lean in close again
we were just platonic
but if we're honest, we're not just friends
we're getting real proximal
it's so tense when it's subtextual
your lips just a moment from mine
and i wanna know
how'd we get so intimate
with your arms around me like that
how'd we get ourselves
into this position girl
cause i think i lost track
i knew before i left that one look from you
and it'd all make sense
do you think they'll notice if we ducked out together
for just ten minutes cause
i'm filled with anticipation
but i'm done with being patient
your touch so understated
can't help that i'm frustrated
we're getting real proximal
it's so tense when it's subtextual
oh baby your lips just a moment from mine
and i've gotta know
how'd we get so intimate
with your arms around me like that
like that baby
how'd we get ourselves
into this position girl
cause i think i lost track
think i lost track
how'd we get so intimate
with your arms around, your arms around me
like that baby, like that now
how'd we get ourselves into this position girl
cause i think i lost track
doesn't matter what we do tonight
fact of the matter is it feels right
so lets forget the complications
we don't need no explanation
we both ran the simulation
but its real this time
So baby how'd we get so intimate
with your arms around me, like that
how'd we get ourselves into this position girl
cause i think i lost track
how'd we get so
how'd we get so intimate
with your arms around, your arms around me,
like that baby, like that now
how'd we get ourselves into this position girl
cause i think i lost track
i think i lost track
how'd we get so intimate
with your arms around me, like that
like that like that now
how'd we get ourselves into this position, girl
cause i think i lost track, think i lost track

Phone Down
05:31
|

I don't know where I'm gonna go again
(i always do this)
I open up too far apart
(apart)
so now i'm lighting up your phone again
(but its not easy)
for me to feel how i'm feeling
say you want this
and i didn't wanna say it but
i feel afraid
that you want something
that i ain't got and
i don't wanna worry bout the things
you dont say
call me up and say you like this
it's so pathetic
i'm left on read and staring at the ceiling now
you're so collected
i'm thinking bout you thinking how to let me down gently
and i know that i'm not always easy to be
around when i feel like thie
(feel like this)
but it's just how my mind likes
to fill in the blanks
when your love has been redacted
I don't know where I'm gonna go again
(i always do this)
I wish I knew where this was leading, leading yeah
so now i'm lighting up your phone again
(but its not easy)
for me to feel how i'm feeling
so call me up and say you want this
i didn't wanna say it but i feel afraid
that you want something that i aint got
and i don't wanna worry bout the things you dont say
say you like this
(cause i can't figure what you're feeling like)
tell me what you're thinking when i'm not around
cause i want something that you ain't giving
so i'm staying up after you put the phone down
i'm second guessing
every little thing i wanna say to you
i'm sick of getting stuck inside this same loop
but i guess its' just the same with you
i wonder do you know what you're doing, uh
maybe you just wanna fuck with me
maybe i'm overthinking the ending
but the best thing was hearing
(you say)
say you want this
(cause i can't figure what you're feeling like)
didn't wanna say it but i think i feel afraid
that you want something that i aint got and
i don't wanna worry bout the things you dont say
say you like this
cause i can't ifgure what you're feeling like
tell me what you're htinking when i'm not around
cause i want something, that you aint giving
so i'm staying up after you put the phone down
you've got to let me back in
pick up and tell me what you wanted to say
i can't stop overthinking
so stop bringing me down
tell me what to do
you've got to make it all clear
open up and tell me what you needed to say
i can't do this alone from here
so stop bringing me down
call me up and say you want this
cause i can't figure what you're feeling like
i didn't wanna say it but I feel afraid
(tell me what you wanted to say)
that you want something that i ain't got and
i don't wanna worry bout the things you don't say
tell me what to do
say you like this
tell me what you're thinking when i'm not around
(when i'm not around)
cause i want something that you aint giving
so i'm staying up after you put the phone down
say you want this
and i didn't wanna say it but i think i feel afraid
(tell me what you wanted to say)
cause i think that we've got something
but you never did give nothing
so i'm reading into every word that you say
just call up and say you want this
tell me what you're thinking when i'm not around
cause I want something, something
that you aint giving, giving
so i'm staying up after you put the phone down
