She's a queen She's a mix between Margot Robbie and Teenage Dream No it's not like the movies I don't have answers and She's a mess She's the kind of person I'll struggle to forget As we drive All alone I push play on our song Please, listen close for a little while I'll give you all the answers and You can roll your eyes and give me that smile While you lean on my shoulder We're close to the bar that we used to dive Sleep all day and then party all night so Please, listen close for a little while Cos I feel us getting closer She's a star She cannot see the constellations from where we are She's a live wire She's a mess She's the kind of person I'll struggle to forget So we drive to the coast While we listen to that song Please, listen close for a little while I'll give you all the answers and You can roll your eyes and give me that smile While you lean on my shoulder We're close to the bar that we used to dive Sleep all day and then party all night so Please, listen close for a little while Cos I feel us getting closer Please, listen close for a little while I'll give you all the answers and You can roll your eyes and give me that smile While you lean on my shoulder We're close to the bar that we used to dive Sleep all day and then party all night so Please, listen close for a little while

Baby Could you help me Put these pieces back together I've been kinda lonely While you're sleeping in my sweater Send me All your selfies Keep my screen awake forever I watch all your stories Spoon my pillow to feel better Cos I've been up all night Thinking about how you hold me Cos I had a dream last night That we weren't really that lonely So I'll park the car and never start it up Cos I've been up all night Thinking about how you hold me Kiss me like you miss me Watching Deadpool 2 together God I miss the movies Haven't been in like forever Yeah I miss your body And your soul yeah sure whatever No but seriously When will we be back together Cos I've been up all night Thinking about how you hold me Cos I had a dream last night that we weren't really that lonely So I'll park the car and never start it up Cos I've been up all night Thinking about how you hold me Yeah Catching breaths and taking meds but when it's all done i'll be your amphetamine Cos i've been up all night Thinking about how you hold me And I know that you're not fine Cos I know that you're still lonely So I'll park the car and never start it up Cos I've been up all night Thinking about how you'd hold me Baby Could you help me Put these pieces back together I've been kinda lonely While you're sleeping in my sweater Catching breaths and taking meds but when it's all done i'll be your amphetamine

Candle-Lit and Nervous 03:03
lyrics

I've been feeling hopeless Candle-lit and nervous Like a movie scene but not so glamorous Still don't have a purpose Main Character Motive Just out of our teens and never growing up Yeah my voice ain't broke and I still can't tie my shoes And my grandparents are still watching the BBC News And my phone it hasn't died because it's bigger than you And I'm not terrified that this planet could really die And my first thought wasn't "hey man can i have your wi-fi?" It was taking off my shoes cos well now that's just polite I've been feeling hopeless Candle-lit and nervous Like a movie scene but not so glamorous Still don't have a purpose Main Character Motive Just out of our teens and never growing up Die for our perspective While being deflective Still believe in memes more than our own government Kinda love that's hopeless Can't tie down emotions Just out of our teens and never growing up And I've been 'rocking kicks' like it's still 2006 And I've been singing tik tok rather than scrolling on it And now my dream girl can take me to an MCR Gig I'm not saying that I'm not a modernist I just like To reminisce and take the piss Chill out and look at some vines Maybe instead of drinking lean we could just sip on some wine I've been feeling hopeless Candle-lit and nervous Like a movie scene but not so glamorous Still don't have a purpose Main Character Motive Just out of our teens and never growing up Die for our perspective While being deflective Still believe in memes more than our own government Kinda love that's hopeless Can't tie down emotions Just out of our teens and never growing up Just wanna go to bed You really should have said Just wanna go to bed You really should have said Just wanna go to bed You really should have said

Wait up Yeah you're still in my head But this girl keeps leaving me on read How does it feel to be undesired Kind of like I'm walking on a wire Yeah Zero confidence and I'm bound to fall Am I gross or am I just not cool enough To take your beauty out to dinner Am I a fool for thinking I'm a winner So tell me who's with you I think that you should put me in the picture He doesn't even know your favourite liquor I'll be your super-hero So tell me who's with you I think that you should put me in the picture He doesn't even know your favourite liquor I'll be your super-hero Wait up Who is that anyway He's a model Oh yeah sure well that's great But can he write a hit about you though Oh wait he did… and it got into the charts Oh Fuh Here's the part where I say I'm great at smash And you should see how I throw it right back Then she laughed and even cracked a smile Let's grab a drink We're gonna be a while So tell me who's with you I think that you should put me in the picture He doesn't even know your favourite liquor I'll be your super-hero So tell me who's with you I think that you should put me in the picture He doesn't even know your favourite liquor I'll be your super-hero Ah Is it hard for you to fathom Yeah Ah And you thought fetch would never happen Yeah Ah Is it hard for you to fathom Yeah Ah And you thought fetch would never happen Yeah

Please give me a better day Cos I don't want to see your face And don't ask me if I'm okay So I hit the ground running Heart is thumping I've got all you need So I break myself over and over Until I cease to breathe Tell me that you just can't breathe Tell me that you'll be so much better without me I kind of liked the pressure Ah I kinda liked the Trauma and the Pleasure Tell me that you just can't see Tell me that you'll be so much better without me I kind of liked the pressure Ah I kinda liked the Trauma and the Pleasure Listen now baby I swear I'm not crazy But if you're the victim Then I'll be your shady When times get too rough I'll still be by your side For better or worse It can't be that bad right? Right Yeah you know You're not special and This is mental Look at me what do you see? And you know That you messed up and This is tough love And loves not what you need Tell me that you just can't breathe Tell me that you'll be so much better without me I, I Kind of liked the pressure Ah I kinda liked the Trauma and the Pleasure Tell me that you just can't see Tell me that you'll be so much better without me Ah I kind of liked the pressure Ah I kinda liked the Trauma and the Pleasure No you never said You seem kind of sad lately No you never said that No you never said You seem kind of sad lately No you never said that No you never said You seem kind of sad lately No you never said that No you never said You seem kind of sad lately No you never said that Tell me that you just can't breathe Tell me that you'll be so much better without me I, I kind of liked the pressure Ah I kinda liked the Trauma and the Pleasure Tell me that you just can't see Tell me that you'll be so much better without me Ah I kind of liked the pressure Ah I kinda liked the Trauma and the Pleasure No you never said You seem kind of sad lately No you never said that No you never said You seem kind of sad lately No you never said that Tell me that you just can't see Tell me that you'll be so much better without me I, I kind of liked the pressure Ah I kinda liked the Trauma and the Pleasure

Play me back just like a movie Watch the memories start to form In my head The marks from lights that never left me I just hope there's some lights left Yeah So take my hand and call me crazy Yeah But you won't forget all you saw You take a breath Cos every breath's another blessing Yeah And we'd never run out of air If our Lives Were in Film Mode We'd look pretty in slow-mo With a 4.1 focus The pictures in motion If our Lives Were In Film Mode So now we're here let's play the best scenes I'll play you mine if you play yours Then she said 'My favourite scene's imaginary' Then you can act I'll play the score We could act and save it all If Our Lives Were in Film Mode We'd look pretty in slow-mo With a 4.1 focus The pictures in motion If Our Lives Were in Film Mode If Our Lives Were in Film Mode We wouldn't have to let go With a 4.1 focus The pictures in motion If Our Lives Were in Film Mode If there were anyone else Then I swear to myself that I would have been different And if I was bad for your health for just being myself then I won't be me again But if you wanna go right now Let me play all of the music down and out Promise me right now That If Our Lives Were in Film Mode We'd look pretty in slow-mo With a 4.1 focus The pictures in motion If Our Lives Were in Film Mode
