Etch your name on my heart
Leave a scar
But don’t tear me apart
I’m letting you in
I put up all my walls
Can you break them down?
Cause I heard you’ve got a sledgehammer lying around
I’m falling for you in every little piece
Don’t remember when I let myself
Fall this deep, oh,
Gotta write it all down
Just to remember how
You love The 1975
Love your green eyes
And how they’re the last thing
I’ll see at night
So pull me close
Baby, take my breath away
And I’ll share your oxygen… again
Polaroid picture perfect in my eyes
You’re all that I see in every single sunrise
And when
I’m chasing the stars
Fall back in your arms
Back in your arms
I’m falling for you in every little piece
Don’t remember when I let myself
Fall this deep oh,
I gotta ask baby, do you write it all down
Just to remember how
You love The 1975
Love your green eyes
And how they’re the last thing
I’ll see at night
So pull me close
Baby, take my breath away
And I’ll share your oxygen… again
I hope this isn’t all a dream
You lying here so peacefully I don’t
Wanna wake up and see you gone
With just a vinyl playing all your favorite songs
Hold me close, take my breath away
So you know I’m yours
Going against my better judgement
Trusting, loving you, yeah I’m loving you
Your voice is always on my mind
Keeping the beat of my heart in time
Don’t skip, but you’re causing a dip
A rift between my heart and mind, you’re mine so
I gotta ask baby, do you write it all down?
Just to remember how
She had a face straight out a magazine
God only knows why I never leave her
Our balaclava is starting to chafe
And as she gets my gun
I’m begging her to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay!
So give it one more time
And give it one more fight
Just tell me one more lie
Will I know you?
You look so cool x3
You love the 1975, love your green eyes
And how they’re the last thing I’ll see at night

Truman
Leave your suit on tonight
Let’s share smoke stained lies
Over glasses of your best red wine
No pressure, when the moments right
And you’re looking Technicolor in this monochromatic light
Oh, Truman, leave your suit on tonight
Oh tonight
I don’t want to kiss you
But so what, if I do
You’re a fluorescent enigma
Burning up in my bedroom
Maybe I’m overthinking our situation
But my heart changes face even more times than my brain
And I don’t want to hurt you
I don’t want to lose you
So
Truman
Leave your suit on tonight
Let’s share smoke stained lies
Over glasses of your best red wine
No pressure, when the moments right
And you’re looking Technicolor in this monochromatic light
Oh, Truman, take your suit off tonight
Oh tonight
Take a Polaroid Cat-scan of your brain
Can’t lose cred with your friends
But you’ll watch them melt away (chocolate)
It’s icy, this liquor we’re floating on
The percentage don’t seem as strong
But it could just be the grass in my veins
It’s keeping me sane
And you’re talking too loud, why don’t you sit down?
All
I’m trying to say
Is I don’t want to float
Away
With the boy, who saved rock and roll
And killed me
And our worlds may collide at unlikely times
But when you go back to black just know I’ll find you
Don’t you know that I’ll find you?
And so, at 102
The crowd will be
Oh, they’ll be screaming for you
But can you see me? In this monochromatic light?
Oh Truman
Oh Truman, I’ll take my suit off tonight

Let’s get high
And listen to Truman on my,
Vinyl player, I’ll tell you the whole story
If you want.
The breeze in the trees
Always makes me want to share
My head’s filled with questions
They’re hung in the air
Mixed with answers
I don’t quite understand
Like, “How can you love yourself,
When you’re too invested in someone else?”
I don’t know, but let’s find out
My dad’s got a telescope
So let’s fly to the moon
I’m kidding, I’m way too scared to speak those words
Into existence
Cause I don’t trust the lack of air up there
When you already leave me breathless
Borderline asthmatic
I’m begging you don’t let me die
I’m an introverted extrovert
And I’m torn at the seams
But you know, I’d rather be
Intersecting our lives, not dissecting my mind
You know that I’m crazy but oh it’s alright
Oh, oh, it’s alright
I’m an open book with my heart on my sleeve
Just like Marina told me not to be
But it’s worth it
And she said, “Are you sure?”
Though my words are shaking
My rhythm is breaking
I promise you once and for all
This is worth the risk
This love’s worth the fall
I’m an introverted extrovert
And I’m torn at the seams
But you know, I’d rather be
Intersecting our lives, not dissecting my mind
You know that I’m crazy but oh it’s alright
Oh, oh, it’s alright
Oh and, “How can you love yourself,
When you’re too invested in someone else?
I don’t know, but I’ll find out

Koolaid and Diaries

She’s like Kool-Aid and diaries
So full of mystery
Miami kissed skin, with a hat pulled low
Shades the galaxies in her eyes
So you don’t have a chance to find her and break her
Don’t save her
She gets tattoos
Just like her friends do
Wears her hair down
Just like her friends do
Smokes cigarettes
Just like her friends do
Won’t let herself love
Just like her friends do
You’re like a chocolate covered spider
Venom hidden under curls
You’ve locked onto the uncrackable
And you’re ready for the kill
Sing sweet nothings in her ear
Just to be let inside
“Maybe he’s different”
Smirk and know that she’s mine
She gets tattoos
Just like her friends do
Wears her hair up
Admire the view
Smokes old cigars
Just to be like you
Let herself love
And her friends don’t have a clue
You knew the day was coming, you got tired of her laugh
So you just left her hanging, thinking you’d be coming back
But what does love mean anyway?
It’s not a contract anyway
So, you just left her drinking, to soothe every crack
And is her heart still beating?
No, it only beats for you
But you played her, you played her like a fool
And she cries at night
Doesn’t care that her friends don’t
Thinks about you
Won’t let her friends know
Mascara lined cheeks
Won’t let them show
She let herself love you
Just like her friends don’t
They don’t
They don’t
