London Grammar - I Need The Night

 

There is a voice it is chastising me
I was so cold, what had become of me
Take all your limbs and wrap them 'round your neck
So they all laugh at your predicament

All of the boys and girls
All people in this world
Give me a dream and I will give you my word

I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light till all of this ends

There is a whisper that our God is a she
She sits on high over the land and the sea
Her breast is heavy in a brand new world
Tell your grandmother and your boys and your girls
She's got a brand new favourite
Tell all the shrinks and haters
Give her a dream and she will give you her word

I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light till all of this ends

I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light till all of this ends

When I realised that I never loved them
That the ones before just held me down and caused me problems
It's in the way you see me, the way you hold me high
Tell me that you love me, longest days turn coldest nights

I need the night
And I need this drink
Will you sit with me and bring all of your friends
Chase the morning light till all of this ends 

 

HAEVN - No Man's Land

 

So call your lover up
Tell her that you've gone
Say you'll be back again
With lots of it or none
Tell her that promises
Vanish in the sun
Out in this no man's land I'm trying to be me

So call you lover up
Tell her what you see
Show her the passage to
The endless field of me
Where seasons change
All the colors of your tree
Out in this no man's land I'm trying to be me
Out in this no man's land I'm dying to be free

If only I could change, change
If only I could change, change
Cause in this no man's land I'm trying to be me
Out in this no man's land I'm dying to be free

So tell your lover
You've been wandering in between
The things you have
And the longings in your dreams
Oh how you're seeking out ways for you to leave
Out in this no man's land I'm trying to be me
Out in this no man's land I'm dying to be free

If only I could change, change
If only I could change, change
Cause in this no man's land I'm trying to be me
Out in this no man's land I'm dying to be free

I'm on my own in this lone man's road
Nowhere to go but a lone man's home

And If only I could change, change
If only I could change, change
Cause in this no man's land I'm trying to be me
Out in this no man's land I'm dying to be free 

 

Richard Marx - Angelia

 

Memories of you and me
Tumble inside my head
The way that we used to be
Things that we said
No one has ever made me believe so strong
You left me to wonder
How did our love go wrong

Angelia
Where you running to now
Angelia
Got to make you turn around

I lie awake at night
Wait for the sun to shine
I still feel you next to me
Your lips on mine
Without a warning
You made our love a lie
You said you were sorry
But you never told me why

Angelia
Where you running to now
Angelia
Got to make you turn around

Maybe my love is in vain
Maybe you're the hurting kind
Can't take no more of this pain
I've got to get you off my mind

Tried to be what you wanted
I gave you all I had
You left me with nothing
Nothing but a photograph

Angelia
Where you running to now
Angelia
Got to make you turn around
Angelia
Where you running to now
Angelia
Got to make you turn around 

 

The Cure - A Forest

 

Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees

Into the trees

Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again 

 

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...
