Feel the wind on your face today All the things they like to say All my demons were released last night But I think they were too shy They caught me doing the things right But I’m not so proud of that I used to believe in you and in your friends Now I just wanna disappear Let me be here when it starts to feel good These are the perks of being misunderstood If you feel you wanna dance just look around There is nobody watching you become yourself Feeling weird about last night’s drinks But this is my point of view You might be good at doing nice things That’s nothing to do with me How about skipping the work today? And let’s pretend today is payday We can order all the things you want And then just lie in London’s sun Let me be here when it starts to feel good These are the perks of being misunderstood If you feel you wanna dance just look around There is nobody watching you become yourself Let me be here when it starts to feel good These are the perks of being misunderstood If you feel you wanna dance just look around There is nobody watching you become yourself

No Brainer 04:57

I've never been further From getting what I want It's the same old story I'm just not trying hard enough No better no different From what I did before That used to be ok but That ain't working anymore I thought I could be something Beyond of my control But then they judge you And I fall into my bed The feeling of being The only person you know It's so big so intense Let me just say you a no It's a no brainer If you don't think about it Years, years without my sleep Can someone show me how to be? Uncategorised and then complete

Acho que eu ja perguntei Tudo o que eu pensei De quando eu te vi Acho que assim que eu te chamar Pro meu mundo de la Nao vou ter o que dizer Acho talvez eu deva ir Pra bem longe daqui E nao te ver sorrir Time, time can make me feel so sad When it’s all so dark in my mind Even though I still can see But all the windows are so closed You can get me a nice view So I could open my eyes I will then sing you a song About what you have in mind Acho que eu ja perguntei Tudo o que eu pensei De quando eu te vi

The Things They Don't Play 06:26

Yesterday, I sang that song again About the joy of being misunderstood Dressing like a boy That forgot to go to school And the days passed out He didn't figure out Call me please To go to your place tonight Let me be part of your circle of joy Keep doing this until your heart is full And don't complain This is all your fault These are the things I don't want, I don't wanna say These are the things they don't want to play, things they don't play These are the things that make you, that make you sad These are the things that make you, that make you laugh I’ll keep you now in my box of weird things That's kind of cool if you knew what I could do Dressing like a girl That forgot to go to school And the days passed out She didn’t realise These are the things I don't want, I don't wanna say These are the things they don't want, things they don't play These are the things that make you, that make you sad These are the things that make you, that make you laugh These are the things I don't want, I don't wanna say These are the things they don't want, things they don't play These are the things that make you, that make you sad These are the things that make you, that make you laugh That make you laugh Just wanted make you laugh Make you laugh, make you laugh Just wanted make you laugh Make you laugh, make you laugh

I don’t know why it feels so cold in here Let me tell you why I want you to leave Bear with me I'll give you the keys Of your life, of your car, of your dreams This is how I’d like to proceed I’ll make a note every time you need An excuse to go out and be seen Just don’t forget Voices I hear them all But their feelings don’t belong to you Grab a tea and check your neighbours They know me better than you This is how I’d like to proceed I’ll make a note every time you need An excuse to go out and be seen Just don’t forget I’m free Last night when I was dancing by myself Just thinking about moving to your hell Or any place where I could drown But honey I don’t know how to swim This is how I’d like to proceed I’ll make a note every time you need An excuse to go out and be seen Just don’t forget This is how I’d like to proceed I’ll make a note every time you need An excuse to go out and be seen Just don’t forget I’m free

When I'm Not There 05:30
lyrics

This time I think I'm getting stuck With all the feelings you can hide and they can be so close to mine I've realised that night when I left you there That you can find some peace And maybe find yourself when I'm not there You don't need to work seven days a week Just sit there and play a song that you don't know the chords anyway If this is hard you can then just breath And we can meet some day at that bar Your friend told you that it's good Oh irony, I do love you so You stay when I want you to go Oh tragedy, wouldn't you say? You go when I need you to stay I live now so far from you But I can drive for hours and hours just to help you with the dog Remember when I told you that joke About dogs and cats and how they're different But they can both love you Oh irony, I do love you so You stay when I want you to go Oh tragedy, wouldn't you say? You go when I need you to stay Oh irony, I do love you so You stay when I want you to go Oh tragedy, wouldn't you say? You go when I need you to stay

Say It Out Loud 04:55
lyrics
buy track
Do you fancy a visit to their houses? Empty of kids with no flowers With loads of broken wings Do you fancy a glass of their finest wine? Pictures of people getting wild When everything was said out of loud Be here when, when they are screaming for no reason When they are laughing at your wisdom But their truth is the one you want to see Did you believe when they said that it was done? And everything else was fun And all their money was under the law Did you believe when they talked about hope? But all they wanted was your soul Things like that can be tough Be here when, when they’re screaming for no reason When they’re laughing at your wisdom But their truth is the one you want to see Do you fancy a visit to their houses? Empty of kids with no flowers With loads of broken wings Be here when, when they are screaming for no reason When they are laughing at your wisdom But their truth is the one you want to see Be here when, when the sun is ready to rise And all we can think is the price Of having someone standing by our side Now I can see your face and your bright side Hear the voices while I just want to hold your hand Now we can think about things we left behind About your home and mine, and you know it’s the time Now we can meet all your friends down the valley Or we can just wait to be there, that's true, yes, I swear
