Hanging around in our little town
We got nothing to do, we just drive in my Ford Laser
It’s getting too cold to have the windows down
You’re not as funny as I thought you were in summer
This is the end, but we pretend
Cos no one wants to say
This is fast love
It’s not last love
It was always gonna sting
This is fast love
It’s not last love
And we’ll spend our whole lives not recovering
Down at the store to buy some cheap wine
Peaches have gone back up to $13.99 and
I’m thinking your thoughts, you’re thinking mine
And we’re drinking from the bottle at another backyard bonfire
This is the end, we’re not even friends
There’s nothing left to say
This is fast love
It’s not last love
It was always gonna sting
This is fast love
It’s not last love
And we’ll spend our whole lives not recovering
No, I don’t want to meet your mother
No, the nights are getting longer
No, this was only for the summer
This is fast love
It’s not last love
It was always gonna sting
This is fast love
It’s not last love
And we’ll spend our whole lives not recovering
Fast love
It’s not last love
It was always gonna sting
This is fast love
It’s not last love
And we’ll spend our whole lives

Maybe it’s time to give up on this dream
I am wasted and tired
I have tried everything
I’ve been waiting for someone to show up one day
Take the wheel from my hand,
Wipe the blood from my face and say,
You’ve arrived, you’ve arrived
You’ve been waiting for tonight
Take the stage, hit the lights,
You’ve arrived
You’ve arrived, you’ve arrived
You’ve been waiting all your life
Take a breath, hold on tight,
You’ve arrived
Maybe one day I will fit in my skin
I will lose all the weight
I will love who I’m with
And then everything else will just fall into place
I’ll walk into the room
And everyone will turn and say,
You’ve arrived, you’ve arrived
You’ve been waiting for tonight
Take the stage, hit the lights,
You’ve arrived
You’ve arrived, you’ve arrived
You’ve been waiting all your life
Take a breath, hold on tight,
You’ve arrived
But there’s this voice in your head
Saying, what’s next, what’s next
It never lets you forget
When you get what you want
You just want what you don’t have yet
You’ve arrived, you’ve arrived
You’ve been waiting for tonight
Take the stage, hit the lights,
You’ve arrived
You’ve arrived, you’ve arrived
You’ve been waiting all your life
Take a breath, hold on tight,
You’ve arrived

The Runner

I’m awake all through the night
Cortisol and blue light
Searching for a cheap flight
Gotta get away before
You come round asking for more
I can’t give you what you’re looking for
The more you need to more I want to go
It’s easier to leave than say so, cos
Baby I’m a runner
Baby I’m a runner
Baby I’m a runner
This makes me want to run away
I kissed you at Angus’ place
Then ignored your calls for days
I don’t know why I act that way
I’m uncomfortable with need
You give so much that I can’t breathe
Aggressive reciprocity
When I get scared it makes me want to go
It’s easier to leave than say so, cos
Baby I’m a runner
Baby I’m a runner
Baby I’m a runner
This makes me want to run away
Despite the fear
Try to let my guard down
There’s something here
That makes me want to stick around
Baby I’m a runner
Baby I’m a runner
Baby I’m a runner
But you make me want to stay right here

Live Slow, Die Old
02:56

There’s nothing loud about it
You catch my eye across the room
Out on the dancefloor, they’re all shouting
But it’s just me and you
There’s nothing fast about it
Driving slow in the van
Windows down, music’s playing
Yeah, you can call me Al
These quiet fireworks
You make me want to take my time
I just want to live slow, die old with you
Think you want it too
There’s nothing big about it
Sun on the balcony
You bring me coffee from the kitchen
And we sit quietly
There’s nothing bold about it
The everyday bravery
Of handing your heart over to someone
And hoping they don’t leave
These quiet fireworks
You make me want to take my time
I just want to live slow, die old with you
Think you want it too
These quiet fireworks
This tiny universe
You make me want to take my time
I just want to live slow, die old with you
Think you want it too
