lyrics

Watch out, I’m looking over my shoulder
and you won’t do what I told you
I’m on lookout, wait to see if you snap again
I’m pushing buttons, you ain’t listening
I’m unhinged, but you’re too stubborn to work it out
And I’m too bold to give it up tonight
We’re chasing out own tails rather than settling down
How long have we got to keep going round

The sun isn’t really orange
And the sea isn't really blue
Everything is on the line
But you’ve got nothing to prove
Keep me in your pocket
And in the lilac of your mind
I’ve got a feeling we’ll be just fine

Take me over, make me over
It doesn't get better than this
You keep me sane, and I’ll keep you on your toes
You’ve never had to deal with this before
Climb over walls, look at me twice
Living your best life, give me mine
I overcomplicate overcompensate
Breathe before I suffocate
Spaces to crawl in, lines to be drawing
Maybe I’m not the best with timing

The sun isn’t really orange
And the sea isn’t really blue
You’re looking at me with those eyes
And I don’t know what to do
Keep me in your sightline
And keep me to yourself
Leave me by your window
