lyrics

Sit inside
I don’t want to sit inside
I know I’m just wasting light
And well, so are you

Now I’m breaking down
It’s so hard to feel right now
If only I knew how
To find who’d be true

Call me back
Oh baby, call me back
In the night I will wait for you
In the night I will wait for you

Break my heart
Oh, my darling, I’ll play the part
If it means I’ll know what to say
And if that’s “I love you”
Well I love you

And now it’s gone
Every part of me that says you’re wrong
While you drag it out too long
I wander and muse

Will it ever be the same again
Or is it just nothing more than mechanical sweetness
Thought it was all pretend
If there is a time to come for me, it’s now
I got it all so wrong
While my heroes sang along
As they do

Don’t you know I can’t sleep at night
With this all on my mind
And while it’s on my mind
I’d like to ask you to please

Tell me when
Oh baby, tell me when
I’ll escape this daze I’m in
Let me out of this daze I’m in

In June I sat
Up on the bluff
I saw the coastline
Fade in the dusk
Now that I’m home
And out of hiding
It’s just enough
To feel alright

But will it ever be the same again
Or is it just nothing more than mechanical sweetness
Thought it was all pretend
If there is a time to come for me, it’s now
I got it all so wrong
While my heroes sang along
As they do

If you only knew
That in the dream world, everyone liked me
I keep so quiet though every night we talk
Of what it means, now I know that it’s coming
How I feel like it’s always been inside
I tried to think all through the deepest, darkest night
And still, I don’t know why

This song ticks all the boxes for me. Guitar sounds, vocals, song structure. I can't put my finger on any one factor, it all works together to make a really great song. malfunction54
