Sunlight all around you,
This is where I want to stay-y-y-ya.
Now it’s over its over its over,
for us. (Lost at sea)
Sunlight all around you,
This is where I want to stay.
No I don’t want this to get,
Too Complicated.
Oh I guess I don’t,
Have my own.
Saviour in the city,
You already know.
Oh I’ve been on my,
Shit since 98’.
I don’t know what I’m
Supposed to do, for you.
Nothing more I could do,
Breathe like this is my last day.
(Never learned to compose,
I’m just praying that the water saves me)

VERSE 1
Silhouette
Hair up so it’s
Not wet
Breath you in
I know that I can swim
Lost at sea
Rupture the waves
To breathe
I’m at peace
After you look at me
CHORUS
Blue sky in your eyes,
Shows me we’re sailing away.
Through the rip tide,
I’m just a castaway.
Under the ocean,
I see the beauty.
Above.
Red sky paints my eyes,
Covered in words I won’t say.
On the front lines,
Secrets I won’t give away.
But for you love,
Violet takes over,
My head.
VERSE 2
Silhouette
Hope that I don’t
Forget
How you cried
Matched with the
Sad grey sky
Intertwine
Bodies like waves
In wine
Fold me in
Tattoo you on
My skin
CHORUS
Blue sky in your eyes,
Shows me we’re sailing away.
Through the rip tide,
I’m just a castaway.
Under the ocean,
I see the beauty.
Above.
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Red sky paints my eyes,
Covered in words I won’t say.
On the front lines,
Secrets I won’t give away.
But for you love,
Violet takes over,
My head.
OUTRO
Give me your light,
And I’ll adore ya.
Oh I would do anything,
For your love.
Give me your hands,
And I can hold ya,
Cause I would do anything,
For your love.
I, can’t, miss,
The sunset on your, two, lips.

VERSE 1
Sunlight in the middle,
Of you darkness.
Maybe this is what I need,
From you.
Maybe this i what I need,
From you.
Maybe this is what I need.
Darkness in the middle,
Of my sun light.
I know you haven’t been,
Alright.
I know you haven’t been
Alright.
But I’m hoping one day soon,
That it’ll change.
Pre-Chorus
Maybe this,
Isn’t exactly.
What I thought it was,
How was I to know?
Smoke em if,
You got em.
But you never really had em.
So how was the supposed to go?
CHORUS
I’ve been on my shit,
Since ’98.
I don’t know what I’m,
Supposed to do.
For you,
I won’t reminisce.
Oh baby oh oh
I’ve been on my shit,
You don’t know who I am,
You never wanted to.
Oh my baby oh my baby,
not my baby anymore.
Verse 2
Outta time,
I don’t really wanna,
Do what you do.
Keep a little doll of you
So I can voodoo.
Change the colour of your shirt,
From red to blue.
Smoke and wine,
We were never gonna,
Have a sequel.
Put you in a booster seat,
Pretend we’re equal.
Label said Merlot,
But all I taste is diesel.
Pre-Chorus
Baby this,
Isn’t exactly.
What I thought it was,
Now I’m glad I know
Smoke em cause,
I got em.
You were never gonna have them,
No there’s no other way that this could go.
You’re out of time,
I was never gonna,
Follow though.
Couldn’t be more obvious,
I gave you clues.
Over night I turned to ice,
I’m giving you crystal blue.
CHORUS
I’ve been on my shit,
Since ’98.
I don’t know what I’m,
Supposed to do.
For you,
I won’t reminisce.
Oh baby oh oh
I’ve been on my shit,
You don’t know who I am,
You never wanted to.
Oh my baby oh my baby,
not my baby anymore.
BRIDGE
Maybe I got to be,
On something.
Just to lose a little bit,
Of my self esteem.
Cause you talk about my so much
It’s so extreme.
The attention puts me into,
My own pipe dream.
Maybe I got to be,
On one now.
Just to do a little digging
To figure out.
All the ways you seem to say,
That I fucked around.
I think it’s time for you
To back down.
CHORUS
I’ve been on my shit,
Since ’98.
I don’t know what I’m,
Supposed to do.
For you,
I won’t reminisce.
Oh baby oh oh
I’ve been on my shit,
You don’t know who I am,
You never wanted to.
Oh my baby oh my baby,
not my baby anymore.
Oh, not my baby,
Not my baby.
Not my baby,
Cause Summers Over.
Uh uh, ow.

VERSE 1
I’ve been here daily,
You’ve been here with me.
I hold my breathe,
Trynna look in your eyes.
I’ve tried so hard,
But nothing seems to break my heart,
More than you do,
Oh.
CHORUS
Now It’s over

For us,

I wish I could see that too.
Theres no more,

“In love”.
I Wish I could see that too,
But all I see is me and you.
VERSE 2
If death becomes her then I am shame,
I tried to do it couldn’t look at your name
Wont you forgive me for that.

once you show me your true colors
it wasn’t the same

CHORUS
Now It’s over

VERSE 1
See, on my own,
I don’t have.
It the bag.
I guess I couldn’t,
See it in the summer.
While you were mine,
Was it just in my eyes.
I don’t wanna have to,
Save it at all.
(I just need a saviour in the city)
PRE-CHORUS
Oh I guess I don’t,
Have my own.
Saviour in the city,
You already know.
How do I feel,
When you hold me so real?
Ah ah ah oh.
CHORUS
How do I tell my friends,
That the reason I’m not around.
Is because I don’t know,
What I have,
To offer this crowd.
And how do I tell the boy,
That he’s the only one i want around.
(He’s the only one I want around)
What if I’m not the one
That he thought.
And i let him down.
I just need a saviour in the city.
VERSE 2
Now on my own,
I don’t have.
Heaven to pay.
I guess I should’ve,
Seen it in the summer.
Crystals in sky,
Lift the hood,
From my eyes.
I just wanna see,
The world in its whole.
(I just need a saviour in the city)
PRE-CHORUS
Oh I guess I don’t,
Have my own.
Saviour in the city,
You don’t even know.
How do I feel,
When you hold me so real?
Ah ah ah oh.
CHORUS
How do I tell my friends,
That the reason I’m not around.
Is because I don’t know,
What I have,
To offer this crowd.
And how do I tell the boy,
That he’s the only one i want around.
What if I’m not the one
That he thought.
And i let him down.
I just need a saviour in the city.

Maybe I could be the one,
To hold you tonight.
If that alright,
With you.
Your hands all over me,
In the dead of the night.
You’re all I want,
To do.
PRE-CHORUS
Maybe I’m just for now,
Let’s just see the turnout.
Who’s to say that this won’t,
Go somewhere, oh.
We won’t know till we try,
Let’s keep playing with fire.
Till we burn I wanna,
Loose my air.
CHORUS
No I don’t want this,
To get too complicated.
With us oh no no baby,
With us.
I don’t wanna get this wrong,
But baby I deserve it all.
So won’t you save it for me.
VERSE 2
Maybe you could be the one,
To hold me tonight.
Until we see
the sun.
Cold hands no plans,
My lips won’t you take a bite?
Oh I think I’m,
Going numb, baby.
PRE-CHORUS
Maybe I’m just for now,
Let’s just see the turnout.

Till we burn I wanna,
Loose my air.

With us oh no no baby,
With us.
I don’t wanna get this wrong,
But baby I deserve it all.
So won’t you save it for me.
BRIDGE
I think that we should chance it.
Leave it in the hands of god, of fate.
To you I wake
It doesn’t matter no
Cause we choose it anyway.
Oh we choose it anyway.
Oh we choose it anyway.
Oh no.
CHORUS
No, no I don’t want this,
To get too complicated.
With us oh no no baby,
With us.
I don’t wanna get this wrong,
But baby I deserve it all.
So won’t you save it for me.
OUTRO

VERSE 1
I think that it’s time,
I jump the pool.
Keep my mouth wide it’s,
Okay, I’m cool.
Maybe I’m not honest,
And I know I’m not flawless.
But I hope at least I’m good.
But I hope at least I’m good.
CHORUS
Oh how can anybody see me,
When there’s nobody for me to show.
I’ll just lend you all my stolen answers,
While I stitch my own mouth closed.
Oh how can anybody read me,
If I never learned to compose.
I’m just praying that the water saves me,
Let my crystal blue expose.
VERSE 2
Scalpel my chest,
Read my open wound.
Pour my red paint,
In your afternoon.
Maybe I’m not honest,
And I know I’m not flawless.
And I know that I’m not good.
And I know that I’m not good.
CHORUS
Oh how can anybody see me,
When there’s nobody for me to show.
I’ll just lend you all my stolen answers,
While I stitch my own mouth closed.
Oh how can anybody read me,
If I never learned to compose.
I’m just praying that the water saves me,
Let my crystal blue expose.

Verse 1
Crystals in the sky,
Something we don’t even know.
Something in the sky,
Tells me I should take you home.
Oh baby be my man,
Baby be my woman for now.
Oh I could be your man,
I could be your man I avow.
Chorus
Sunlight all around you,
This is where I want to stay.
Nothing more I could do,
Breathe like this is my last day.
I hold you in my loose hands,
Offering to you: leave me.
Dig your roots in the sand,
Nowhere else I’d rather be.
Verse 2
Crystals in the sand,
Shovelling to your heart beat.
Stick after the water,
At the edges of your feet.
Wont you take me to the ocean,
Take me where your river runs.
Oh everything at once now,
Everything that you become.
Chorus
Sunlight all around you,
This is where I want to stay.
Nothing more I could do,
Breathe like this is my last day.
I hold you in my loose hands,
Offering to you: leave me.
Dig your roots in the sand,
Nowhere else I’d rather be.
Bridge
Crystals baby drive me crazy,
Sunlight in the grass.
Nothing to you I can loose,
You see through all my glass.
(you see through)
Through the rough you cut me up,
My days will come to pass.
(My days will come to pass)
Take your light to neon heights,
A fire from the match.
Pre-Chorus
Crystals in the sky,
Something we don’t even know.
Chorus
Sunlight all around you,
This is where I want to stay.
Nothing more I could do,
Breathe like this is my last day.
I hold you in my loose hands,
Offering to you: leave me.
Dig your roots in the sand,
Nowhere else I’d rather be.
