Yoshika Colwell - Please

 

Please, give me a smile

Tell me you've found a new hobby

Take me out for a coffee

Take me somewhere new you've found

 

Please, just go to sleep

Don't wake up till morning well rested

Please, don't ever die

Oh, I need you to stay alive

For a long long time

Oh, I do

 

Please, don't look at me like that

I didn't know I was doing it, I'm sorry

Please, don't turn your back

I'd change if I knew how

 

Maybe it's alright

To know it's out of our hands

We always pay such a high price

When we act like it's not that bad

And I think that

 

I've been waiting for you

To be someone you're not

For too long

I've been wishing on stars

It never comes out right

I've been on tenterhooks

Awaiting looks of validation

And I've been up all night

Trying to set it right in my mind

But I can't

 

So, please, just shut the door

Let me be sad and quiet

I don't want to deny it anymore

Come on, let me let you go

Let me out into the open

And I'll think of you often

Of course, I will

But if I stay, then

 

You'll be waiting for me

To be someone I'm not

For too long

You'll be wishing on stars

You'll tell me every time

You'll be in my bad books

Awaiting looks of affirmation

And you'll be up all night

Trying to make it right

 

 

 

London Grammar - Into Gold

 

Dear heart, dear soul
Old friend, don't let me go
I am the fire and you are water
Drown me out, but I learnt
So if you see me, cross the street
But I still see you in people I meet
And I am the fire and you are water
You drown me out, but I learnt, I got older, found out I ought to

Make ashes from stone
All of these things that I've seen turn darkness into gold
And when I was made from the right kind of wrong
All of these things that I've seen turn darkness into gold

River run red, river run dry
River run red and white
I am the fire and you are water
Drown me out, but I learned
So if you see me, cross the street
But I still see you in people I meet
I am the fire and you are water
You ran me wild to the sea
There you'll find me
Trying to catch me

Make ashes from stone
All of these things that I've seen turned darkness into gold
And when I was made from the right kind of wrong
All of these things that I've seen turn darkness into gold
All of these things that I've seen turn darkness into gold

All of these things that I've seen turn darkness into gold
All of these things that I've seen turn darkness into gold

Ólafur Arnalds ft. Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir - Particles

 

Here I am

Floating in emerald sea

Keep me dancing

Keep me as still as can be

And I try to keep the balance right

And I try, but it feels like wasted time

 

But these heavy hands

They're pulling me down on my chest

Latching on, coloring all of my flesh

Quietly, you hover over me

And I fight, but it feels like wasted time

Feels like wasted time

 

Say goodnight

I know that I'm swallowed in sea

We collide, colors that devour me

Just say goodnight

I'm already down

And I cry, already down

 

Already down

And I cry, already down

And I try

And I try, but it feels like wasted...
