2010: Lights

Let’s join forces We’ve got our guns and horses I know you’ve been burned But every fire is a lesson learned. Guns and Horses

Handlebars that I let go, let go for anyone Take me in and I’ll throw out my heart and get a new one. Starry Eyed

Who are we to be emotional? Who are we to play with hearts and throw away it all? Oh, who are we to turn each other’s heads?. This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)

You left a blood stain on the floor You set your sights on him You left a hand print on the door Like all the boys before, like all the boys before. Under the Sheets

You wait for a silence I wait for a word Lie next to your frame Girl unobserved. The Writer

I left my house, left my clothes Door wide open, heaven knows You’re so worth it, you are. Guns and Horses

Next thing, we’re touching You look at me, it’s like you hit me with lightning. Starry Eyed

Oh, I don’t like the way I never listen to myself I feel like I’m on fire, I’m too shy to cry for help Oh, I don’t think you know me much at all. This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)

Sat on your sofa, it’s all broken springs This isn’t the place for those violin strings I try out a smile and I aim it at you You must have missed it You always do. The Writer

We’re under the sheets and you’re killing me In our house made of paper, your words all over me We’re under the sheets and you’re killing me. Under the Sheets

We’re interrupted by the heat of the sun Trying to prevent what’s already begun You’re just a body, I can smell your skin And when I feel it, you’re wearing thin. The Writer

But I wish I could feel it all for you I wish I could be it all for you If I could erase the pain Then maybe you’d feel the same I’d do it all for you, I would. Guns and Horses

Oh, everybody’s starry-eyed And everybody glows Oh, everybody’s starry-eyed And my body goes Oh oh ooh. Starry Eyed

Oh, I don’t see a reason why we can’t just be apart We’re falling on each other like we’re always in the dark Oh, I don’t think you know me much at all, at all. This Love (Will Be Your Downfall)

In here the world won’t bring us down Our plan is gold dust Out there a lonely girl could drown In here we’re frozen. Under the Sheets

But I’ve got a plan Why don’t you be the artist and make me out of clay? Why don’t you be the writer and decide the words I say?. The Writer

2012: Halcyon

That feeling that doesn’t go away just did And I walked a thousand miles to prove it And I’m caught in the crossfire of my own thoughts. My Blood

Stripped to the waist we fall into the river Cover your eyes so you don’t know the secret I’ve been trying to hide We held our breath to see our names are written. Anything Could Happen

Only you can be the aching in my heart My enemy, the only animal I couldn’t fight You hold me in the dark when storms arrive Only you. Only You

You know we can get away Because I’m calling your name Every day I feel this pain But you just turn and walk away. Hanging On

I remind you of the days you poured your heart into But you never tried I’ve fallen from grace Took a blow to my face I’ve loved and I’ve lost I’ve loved and I’ve lost. Explosions

And God knows, I’m not dying but I bleed now And God knows, it’s the only way to heal now With all the blood I lost with you It drowns the love I thought I knew. My Blood

After the war, we said we’d fight together I guess we thought that’s just what humans do Letting darkness grow As if we need its palette and we need its color. Anything Could Happen

Only you can see the emptiness I feel When you’re with me When everything you say I’m on my knees Baby I’m on my knees. Only You

No, I just can’t keep hanging on To you and me I just don’t know what is wrong With you and me. Hanging On

Explosions on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you’ve learned It’s okay to be afraid But it will never be the same It will never be the same. Explosions

The lost dreams are buried in my sleep for him And this was the ecstasy of a love forgotten And I’m thrown in the gunfire of empty bullets And my blood is all I see. My Blood

Baby, I’ll give you everything you need I’ll give you everything you need, oh I’ll give you everything you need But I don’t think I need you. Anything Could Happen

Touch me and then turn away And put your hands into the flame Tell me if you feel this pain ‘Cause I don’t want to be a ball and chain. Hanging On

And as the floods move in And your body starts to sink I was the last thing on your mind I know you better than you think. Explosions

2015: Delirium

Hold me like nobody else does Do I get the best of your love? Even when our bodies are drunk Is it me you’re stumbling from?. Aftertaste

It’s the strangest feeling Feeling this way for you There’s something in the way you move Something in the way you move. Something in the Way You Move

It’s a little blurry how the whole thing started I don’t even really know what you intended Thought that you were cute and you could make me jealous Poured it down, so I poured it down. On My Mind

You’re the light, you’re the night You’re the colour of my blood You’re the cure, you’re the pain You’re the only thing I wanna touch Never knew that it could mean so much, so much. Love Me Like You Do

I know that I’ve been messed up You never let me give up All the nights and the fights And the blood and the breakups. Army

Don’t break, don’t fade While we’re not real, we’re never too late Make time, it won’t hurt Said I’ll go now, but you said it first. Aftertaste

But tonight I’m gonna lose it all Playing with fire, I was the first to fall Heart is sinking like a cannonball Baby, kill it, what you waiting for?. Something in the Way You Move

And now I don’t understand it You don’t mess with love, you mess with the truth And I know I shouldn’t say it But my heart don’t understand. On My Mind

So love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do What are you waiting for?. Love Me Like You Do

But yeah, you understand Yeah like no one can I know that we don’t look like much But no one fucks it up like us. Army

I know there’s nothing that I can do to make you stay But one thing I know that will always remain And that’s the aftertaste The aftertaste. Aftertaste

Something in the way you move There’s something in the way you do it Something in the way you move Oh. Something in the Way You Move

I always hear, always hear them talking Talking ’bout a girl, ’bout a girl with my name Saying that I hurt you but I still don’t get it You didn’t love me, no, not really. On My Mind

Fading in, fading out On the edge of paradise Every inch of your skin is a Holy Grail I’ve got to find Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire Yeah. Love Me Like You Do

Dark times, you can always find the bright side I’m amazed by the things that you would sacrifice Just to be there for me How you cringe when you sing out of tune. Army
