Amber Run - Affection

 

Trust me
It always turns out the same
Affection has always been a little game
Forgive me
It's one I've never understood
Love to me has been as bad as good

I've been drowning in the water
That you're walking on
Falling through the air as you float up

Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes and wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Because all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection

Affection

Believe me
It happens all the time
Affection can be as cruel as it is kind
Lover
Won't you give me a sign
Love can be as deaf as it is blind

I've been drowning in the water
That you're walking on
Falling through the air as you float up

Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes and wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Because all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection

Fall down into sleep
Into a fevered dream
Where I barely know what is going on
Except I know that I want you
And I know that I need you
And I tell you I love you again and again and again and again

Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes and wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Because all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection

Affection 

 

Amber Run ft. London Contemporary Voices - I Found

 

And I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind
And I'll use you as a focal point
So I don't lose sight of what I want
And I've moved further than I thought I could
But I missed you more than I thought I would
And I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I'll use you as a makeshift gauge
Of how much to give and how much to take
Oh I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense then you'll lose your mind

Oh and I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me

And I found love where it wasn't supposed to be
Right in front of me
Talk some sense to me 

Amber Run - Wastelands

 

If you don't know where you're going
You're scared of what you might find
If you feel like an island
Stuck inside a maze in your mind

When you drown, I'll drown

We started as a fever
We turned into an ache that never goes
And if I couldn't fix it
I guess, well now you're better off alone

When you drown, I'll drown
And I know you'll fall in love again
When you do, I hope you'll find somebody
Who you can love like I love you

It happened piece by piece
It happened just a little at a time
And then the bruises started showing
Joined up in neat little lines

When you drown, I'll drown
When you drown, I'll drown

And I know you'll fall in love again
When you do, I hope you'll find somebody
Who you can love like I love you

(You drown, you drown
You drown, oh, you drown)

And I know you'll fall in love again
When you do, I hope you'll find somebody
Who you can love like I love you 

 

Amber Run - Fickle Game

 

I wanna be older, I wanna be stronger
I don't wanna fall at the start
I wanna be quicker, I wanna get closer
Don't wanna feel worlds apart

Cause I'm fast enough to get in trouble, and not fast enough to get away
I'm old enough to know I'll end up dying
And not young enough to forget again

It's all a fickle game
Life's a fickle game we play

I wanna be older, I wanna be stronger
I don't wanna fall at the start
I wanna be quicker, I wanna get closer
I don't wanna feel worlds apart

Cause I'm fast enough to get in trouble, and not fast enough to get away
And I'm old enough to know I'll end up dying
And not young enough to forget again

It's all a fickle game
Oh life's a fickle game we play

It's a fickle game

Cause I'm fast enough to get in trouble, and not fast enough to get away
And I'm old enough to know I'll end up dying
And not young enough to forget again

I'm sick of fickle games
It's life's a fickle game we play

Amber Run - Machine

 

Don't think that there's a medicine
For what is going round
Fight it with your vitamins
I've heard it knocks you out

And it goes round and round and round and round
Until it's yours

When the hurt is a hundred miles long
And your shadow weighs a ton
And your river has run dry
And you think you'd rather die
When the water pulls you under
I'll wrap my arms around you
I'll hold you while you cry
And in the dark I'll be your eyes

Don't think that there's a sedative
Strong enough to stop
The waves that come crashing down
On each and and all of us

And it goes round and round and round and round
Until it's yours
It goes round and round and round and round
Until it's yours

When the hurt is a hundred miles long
And your shadow weighs a ton
And your river has run dry
And you think you'd rather die
When the water pulls you under
I'll wrap my arms around you
I'll hold you while you cry
And in the dark I'll be your eyes

Treading water, fading out
No way to drown the silence out
Twisting, turning, breaking out
Going round and round and round

Treading water, fading out
No way to drown the silence out
Twisting, turning, breaking out
Going round and round and round

When the hurt is a hundred miles long
And your shadow weighs a ton
And your river has run dry
And you think you'd rather die
When the water pulls you under
I'll wrap my arms around you
I'll hold you while you cry
And in the dark I'll be your eyes
I'll be your eyes 

 

Amber Run - I Dare You

 

I know I won't live forever
May only get this feeling once
I want to show you my devotion
A worship not taught at church

I Dare You
To jump into that sweet unknown
With me

Love has always been so lonely
So forgetful and unkind
But with you it feels holy
When we bloom in the dead of night

I Dare You
I Dare You
To jump into that sweet unknown
With me

I dare you, jump into the sky
And float in the blue
I dare you, take a bite out the sun
And fall in the gloom

I dare you, jump into the sky
And float in the blue
I dare you, take a bite out the sun
And fall through the gloom

'Cause I Dare You
'Cause I Dare You
To jump into that sweet unknown
With me
With me

So it must be
So it must be
A comfort in times like these
So it must be
A comfort in times like these 

 

Amber Run - No Answers

 

I saw you
And I knew you
Because you still smile in the same way
And I found you
And I called you
And through the crackle of the phone I heard you say...

Oh that I've got no answers
Oh that I've got no answers
Oh that I've got no answers for you
And I want you still
Like I always think that I will
But I've got no answers for you
For you. For you. For you

I know you
But I don't want to
Because people like you, you never change
And I can forgive you
But I can't forget you
Because the things you said are etched inside my brain
You said

I've got no answers
Oh no, I've got no answers
Oh no, I've got no answers for you
And that I want you still
Like I always think that I will
But I've got no answers for you
For you. For you

I'll find someone new
We'll shrug off our armour
I'll take what I want
And then I'll leave you
I'll be the shadow that you see at night
That shred of doubt in the back of your mind
A talking head. A silhouette
And I'll be your old romancer
Your forgotten partner
And still I got no answers for you

Oh, I've got no answers
Oh, I've got no answers
Oh no, I've got no answers for you
And I want you still
Like I always think that I will
But I've got no answers for you 

 

Amber Run - 5AM

 

We run into a dark room
And we spasm to the sounds
Of a copy of Morrissey
Or the blues of the Deep South.

And the drugs will only hide it
The feeling never really goes
You won't find love at the bottom
Of a Class-C hole.

And you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
And you don't know who to love until you're lost.
And you don't know how to feel until the moment's passed.
I wish you'd live like you're made of glass.

We've got work in the morning
But it's nearly 5 AM.
Is this really what we envisioned?
We won't be 21 again.

And in the haze you see colours
And problems suddenly make sense.
But the way you've been going
You'll be in an early grave.

And you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
And you don't know who to love until you're lost.
And you don't know how to feel until the moment's passed.
I wish you'd live like you're made of glass. 

 

Amber Run - Just My Soul Responding

 

Oh, and I wanna be here when morning comes
When the stars in the sky fade into one
Oh, and I wanna be here when times are hard
When the beating of your heart is like a drum
But every day
I found new ways to hurt you
And every day
We took our sides

And it's just my soul responding to the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding to the love you took from me

Oh, and I wanna be here when morning comes
When the stars in the sky fade into one
Oh, and I wanna be here when times are hard
When the beating of your heart is like a drum
But every day
I found new ways to hurt you
And every day
We took our sides

And it's just my soul responding to the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding to the love, to the love, you took from me
And it's just my soul responding to the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding to the love, to the love, you took from me
And it's just my soul responding to the heavy heart I'm holding
And it's just my soul responding to the love, to the love, you took from me
