European City

Well, I’ve been
Searching for the boy I used to be
He might be
Under a palm tree in the European City, I’ve tried
Holdin’ on closely
Like fur to the flea
But I believe the lies, he’s telling me
This day reminds me
Of when we said goodbye and how you
Couldn’t even wait for
The waters to subside and as I’m
Starin’ at the sun, I can. feel myself go blind
Oh, my my
Oh, my my
Oh, my my
‘Cause even when the stars they shine
I only have a single one in mind
There are billions to see
But it’s you that shines for me
Oh, my my
Oh, my my
Oh, my my
Now that I’m an old man
I’m thinking to myself has the
Boy that I’m lookin’ for
Left me on the shelf or is he
Still on this island. Where he freezes and he melts
Oh, my my
Oh, my my
Oh, my my
‘Cause even when the stars they shine
I only have a single one in mind
There are billions to see
But it’s you that shines for me
Oh, my my
Oh, my my
Oh, my my

What Humans Do

Oh, I know now I know I should’ve told the truth
From the beginning when I met you
And no, I had no intentions to
I guess that’s what us humans do
I always left you so confused
With what my feelings led you to
The things that I have put you through
Are things that I cannot undo
But is it over?
Or can we stay friends?
Now that we’re older
We still pretend
And I think that I, need to apologise
For a misconception and the high expectations
Yeah, yeah
I guess that’s what us humans do
You always had things on your mind
And I would try to ask you why
But without the light you stood there blind
Said you needed me to make you shine
But is it over?
Or can we stay friends?
Now that we’re older
We still pretend
And I think that I, need to apologise
For a misconception and the high expectations
Yeah, yeah
I guess that’s what us humans do
I guess that’s what us humans do
I guess that’s what us. Humans do

Broken Heart

You made it pretty clear to me
You don’t want to talk anymore
You don’t have to say a word, oh,
Your eyes say it all
I just wanna feel your skin on me one last time
Let your words swallow me before we say goodbye
I think it’s over; I know it’s over for me
Say those words your lips are meant to say
Speak the truth but you let lies slip away
I want you but you don’t see me in that way
Oh, I’m just a man with a broken heart
You came home last night with your shirt buttoned up all wrong
Your shoes were in your hands, I just said “I hope you had fun”
I didn’t know his name until you called it in your sleep
I hide my face against the wall as you kissed him in your dreams
I think it’s over; I know it’s over for me
Say those words your lips are meant to say
Speak the truth but you let lies slip away
I want you but you don’t see me in that way
Oh, I’m just a man with a broken
Say those words (with a broken heart, with a broken heart)
Speak the truth (with a broken heart, with a broken heart)
I want you oh no (with a broken heart, with a broken heart)
But I’m just a man
Oh, I’m just a man with a
Broken Heart

If Only

If you just stayed, I would’ve made a life in you
Hurts like a blade you don’t feel the way I do
You just made it harder, to mend my heart
I bleed, I bleed
We want to say the truth but choke up when we go to speak
You just hid yourself on the highest shelf
Out of reach, no I can’t reach
If only you had stayed
If only you had stayed
I wonder where we’d be by now
I wonder where we’d be by now
Would you be in my arms lying on the couch?
Or would you cause me harm and feel me with doubt?
As the days go by, I wish I knew why
You’re gone, you’re gone
Was it I just wasn’t what you want?
As the feelings fade, a strangers made
From you, from you
If only you had stayed
If only you had stayed
I wonder where we’d be by now
I wonder where we’d be by now
Ohh
Ohh
If only you had stayed
If only you had stayed
If only you had stayed

Social Disorders
03:44
|

|
A kiss, a kiss, an innocent kiss I gave
Your lips, my lips, in the softest kind of way
Maybe it was a little much I know you want to take things slow
But how can I resist your touch when feelings inside me grow?
A simple yes or no I don’t want maybe, oh
Cause it’s unusual, you’re avoiding me lately, oh
A simple easy plan I made for us to head into town
You said “sorry but it’s kinda late, I don’t mean to let you down”
Excuses fly, through the night from you, oh
Yeah, that’s alright, I’ll find something else to do
Was it something I did to you? Or am I just crazy? Oh
You’ve got me so confused, do you love, or do you hate me?
Well, I wanna talk but it isn’t easy
When everything I say comes out too cheesy
Let me know when I’m crossing borders
Cause I suffer with social disorders, oh
I’m just trying to keep my distance
You can talk cause I’m happy to listen
Let’s reschedule on that coffee
I bailed again and I’m very sorry, no
I wanna talk but it isn’t easy
When everything I say comes out too cheesy
Let me know when I’m crossing borders
Cause I suffer with social disorders
