Boys Are Crying 04:40
lyrics
ripped jeans bruised knees cold hands eighteen dry lips bare feet dreaming of the city coughing up blood into the basin watch it wash away down the drain you have always been one to pick fights your best friends brother gave you a black eye being this reckless keeps you alive she said the boys are crying in the bathroom silver tears falling on the tiles cosmic wonder children craving some kind of attention you and i share the same orbit humans are abusive creatures of habit chain smoke inside joke heartache high hopes warm breath love note written on foggy windows nobody’s ever going to see you cry in these empty hallways you leave behind don’t tell people whats on your mind you’ll miss them when you say goodbye she said the boys are crying in the bathroom silver tears falling on the tiles cosmic wonder children craving some kind of attention you and i share the same orbit humans are abusive creatures of habit never been so scared of growing old it feels untouchable when it feels like you know it all you feel untouchable and i’ve never been so scared of growing old is this coming of age, do i want to know? is this coming of age? is this growing old? she said the boys are crying in the bathroom silver tears falling on the tiles cosmic wonder children craving some kind of attention you and i share the same orbit humans are abusive creatures of habit

Trip Fontaine 04:39
lyrics
knee high sock and sunday shoes hair ribbons and suburban blues play your favourite record through the telephone keep it quite my mother is home remember me with a lock of hair i wear your chain around my neck love letters and secret kisses one day i will be your mrs i’ll meet you behind the bike shed when we run away trip fontaine we’ve got candy and cigarettes for when we run away trip fontaine you remind me of your father when you wear his vintage parka they don’t understand our young love they were taught to keep their mouth shut i know you’ve kissed other girls so maybe i’ll go cry about it deep down i know that this sorrow stems from something darker in me i’ll meet you behind the bike shed when we run away trip fontaine we’ve got candy and cigarettes for when we run away trip fontaine i’ve got bleeding knees and knuckles i know you dont love me thats cool i left my last words on a mixed tape drowned in the sorrows of this glory daze i choked myself in the back of your fathers old cadillac where you took my love and never gave it back in my best dress, rouged my lips red the mixed tape i left said i’ll meet you behind the bike shed when we run away trip fontaine we’ve got candy and cigarettes for when we run away trip fontaine

Blue Light 05:14
lyrics
blue light fills my eyes spills into his room it’s slow afternoons i can’t read your mind shadows make shapes on your shoulder blades i’m counting constellations on your tired face we’re just kids laughing nothing’s really funny it’s not that funny we cope with tragedy by kicking it in the teeth i’m scared of falling back into old habits she would’ve said you don't deserve to feel this sad i’m scared of falling back into old habits she would’ve said you don't deserve to feel this sad blue light fills my eyes spills into his room between silence this distance quiet conversations move in the dark a pair of bloodshot eyes a broken heart i’m scared of falling back into old habits she would’ve said you don't deserve to feel this sad i’m scared of falling back into old habits she would’ve said you don't deserve to feel this sad i know if i go the the party i’ll still end up leaving early i’ll dance to songs i don’t like i’ll convince myself that’s he’s nice i cry as i walk to the station i never liked being out when it late and maybe one day i’ll change my mind i’ve met some people who’ve changed my mind i’m scared of falling back into old habits she would’ve said you don't deserve to feel this sad i’m scared of falling back into old habits she would’ve said you don't deserve to feel this sad blue light fills my eyes spills into his room

Slow Dive 04:57
lyrics
granite grey gravel slick with heavenly tears greasy fingers smearing on lipsticked fears heavy hearted heavy soul counting the years tired love tired loving make it disappear slow dive into my veins i’m drowning in the rain slow dive into my heart turn a blind eye to the past these kinds of things they stay with you baby got himself a grave last June these are the things that happen too soon youth is the answer to your blues to your blues night time neighbourhoods change with the breeze lying on the road of your favourite street your eyes echo the colours of the sky closing the space between your hands and my thighs slow dive into my veins i’m drowning in the rain slow dive into my heart turn a blind eye to the past these kinds of things they stay with you baby got himself a grave last June these are the things that happen too soon youth is the answer to your blues to your blues i watch your lips move in the shape of my name across the tennis court i watch moths dance to their graves under fluorescent lights we’re the kind to live in spite of everything it gets tiring slow dive into my veins i’m drowning in the rain slow dive into my heart turn a blind eye to the past these kinds of things they stay with you baby got himself a grave last June these are the things that happen too soon youth is the answer to your blues to your blues
