Chew Lips Album

Such confusion can't be good
And though my house is made of wood
I can throw stones if I please
Can set fire my gathered leaves
Where'd you go, I wouldn't say
Always been a mile away

A high-speed chase on your wedding day
Give and take are all the same
Cannon shoot on grassy moor
A battlefield of love and war

Empty bottle on your bed
Broken-hearted, innocent
Where you've been I wouldn't go
Just another story told

A high-speed chase on your wedding day
Give and take are all the same
Cannon shoot on grassy moor
A battlefield of love and war

It's your high-speed chase on your wedding day
Give and take are all the same
Cannon shoot on grassy moor
A battlefield of love and war

Any way, any way the car goes
Any way, road is gonna turn
We'll pay, we'll pay the toll charge
We'll pay, then we'll have to learn

And we're ready but we didn't sign
Cuz you know it when it isn't right
Better look behind both eyes
Oh we're never getting out alive

Don't you know, don't you know we're trying
Don't you know, can't be here for long
Set it up, set it up to see you
Set it up, broken in a song

And we're ready but we didn't sign
Cuz you know it when it isn't right
Better look behind both eyes
Oh we're never getting out alive

And we're ready but we didn't sign
Cuz you know it when it isn't right
Better look behind both eyes
Oh we're never getting out alive

We're ready but we didn't sign
Cuz you know it when it isn't right
Better look behind both eyes
Oh we're never getting out

Dappled in blue like a midnight moon
Over the mountain
And God we would ride down the steepest side
To the beat of a lone drum

Never knew what we got into
Always the running
Now we find that there's all the signs
Change is a-coming
Now it seems it was history
Thoughts from a past life
Now it seems only memories
Life making fast time

Come on along
And it won't take long
Those were the last words
Lay in the trees where you'll always be
Over the pasture

Never knew what we got into
Always the running
Now we find that there's all the signs
Change is a-coming
Now it seems it was history
Thoughts from a past life
So it seems it was memories
Life making fast time
Now it seems only history
Thoughts from a past life
So it seems it was memories
Life making fast time

Dappled in blue like a midnight moon
Never knew what we got into
(Change is a-coming)

Now it seems only history
Thoughts from a past life
So it seems only memories
Life making fast time

Everybody's watching you for signs
Hope you can confuse them with your mind
Everybody's watching you for secrecy
Where you running to selfishly
A careless interview
Summer camp photo in the stream
Holding back diving after me
You can't share

Everybody thinks you're on your way
Hope you can keep prying eyes away
Everybody thinks of you with secrecy
Where you running to selfishly
A careless interview
Summer camp photo in the stream
Holding back diving after me
You can't share
You no you can't share

What's happening now we made a truce
What's happening now
Out of nowhere with all to lose
Out of no- horse and leather told a story
Versions seem to be distorted
No one ever listened really
History or heavy breathing

And there's such a thing as too much talking
Take a while to have a think about it
All the comfort of an old time lover
See him in the face of all the others

All over this town with faithless minds
All over this town
I'm being drawn in with pencil lines
Being drawn- horse and leather told a story
Versions seem to be distorted
No one ever listened really
History or heavy breathing

And there's such a thing as too much talking
Take a while to have a think about it
All the comfort of an old time lover
See him in the face of all the others

With a filthy mind of brilliance
Filthy mind in doubt
Pinching skin hard between the eyes
Suck the poison out

Running for our lives like a child's dream
Mouth make the word, electricity
Nothing to hide but your old milk teeth
Can't see death i'm just a baby
Climbing up from the single bed
Off the same pages we both read
With papercuts and our money tins
Before we showed our secret skin

For all, for all, for all we've done
It's you, it's you, it's you i want

Walls that long fell into crumble
Walls that fell out not in
Leaving everything just open
Skeleton of common sin

Running for our lives like a child's dream
Mouth make the word, electricity
Nothing to hide but your old milk teeth
Can't see death i'm just a baby
Climbing up from the single bed
Off the same pages we both read
With papercuts and our money tins
Before we showed our secret skin

For all, for all, for all we've done
It's you, it's you, it's you i want
For all, for all, for all we've done
It's you, it's you, it's you i want

Followed you down to the beach tonight
Wearing two coats but nothing besides
Forget that we're away from home
Pretend we've got a beach of our own
Always before but never again
In the tall white grass where we ran and slept
I lost my head but the ideas came
Sweating out words like a fevered game
And now that seems like it was lost in time
But for those two years he was a friend of mine

Summer's so long and it's running away
I lost my chain in the river that day
Watched that fire in the silent dark
And i found you crying in the back of your car
In the small hours while the embers glowed
And the light showed drops on your blanket folds
I let you rest from your tired life
Carving that soil with your daddy's knife
And now it seems it was lost in time
But for those two years he was a friend of mine

Followed you down to the beach tonight
Followed you down to the beach tonight
Followed you down to the beach tonight

You"ll be the only one
Leading a mile in front
You'll be the guardian
You'll give them what they want
You'll be the only one

Nothing's easy
That takes the price down
If you need me send up a lone sound
We'll be waiting out in the hallway too

With friends and enemies
And all thats in between
One minute on your knees
The next you're begging please
With friends and enemies

Nothing's easy
That takes the price down
If you need me send up a lone sound
We'll be waiting out in the hallway too
Nothing's easy
That takes the price down
If you need me send up a lone sound
We'll be waiting out in the hallway too

We can't be saved from what we love
From rabbit holes into kid gloves
Palest earth to darkest thought
We choose the either or

Nothing's easy
That takes the price down
If you need me send up a lone sound
We'll be waiting out in the hallway too

Counting one
And now you're counting trees
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Counting birds
Count the rest for me
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting

Only starting
Take it all in
Two hands open
Both minds hoping
Only starting both

Dreamed of june
And we were in the sea
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting for
Facing south
To were my father's been
What are you waiting for
What are you waiting

Only starting
Take it all in
Two hands open
Both minds hoping
Only starting
Take it all in
Two hands open both

After the forest fire
Among the black trees
Among the carcasses
I found your gold key
And when your father called
Hid in the deadwood
And all the birds flew up
I thought they understood

Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns

Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
Uh oh, midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns

It was the day before
The day before this
And we had party plans
And party dresses
Out on a crowded street
And I talked a man down
He wanted peace in death
He wore a gold crown

Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns

Uh oh, your hands were tied
Uh oh, the storm had come
Uh oh, with midnight eyes
Uh oh, we played with guns

The pivot that we circle round
Find something to hold
Learn to be afraid while we wait for more
It made me never want to lie
'Cause i had before
Everything polarised and now we wait for more
Hhonouring our wild devotion
I wash in morning warmth
It sleeps a distant notion and now we wait for more
I'm clearing out my flat today
I'm taking off the doors
No history, no gates, we wait for more
Baby we can go away
'Tween the night and dawn
Your life ahead in frames, we wait for more
All the trades we dislike
We count them as our own
Sick of being unkind and now we wait for more
Everything you'll ever dream,
Someone dreamed before
Won't you chase them please we wait for more
