1975

You listen to The 1975 while I just try to feel alive
The disconnect you know I see it
You're turning pages like the seasons
I read to try to find the meaning
Nonfiction, I don't like to live out fantasy

Is it weak to see the colour drain
Is it wrong to break the window frame
Is it cool to misplace the face that you were wearing all along
Does it suck when your luck runs out
Does it hurt to cry and let it out
Does it feel the way we used to feel so many years ago
When we were young

'Cause we can talk talk talk 'til the lights go out
And we can dance and shout 'til our lungs give out
The moon will sweep us off our feet
And into galaxies
And the blackened sky makes our senses rise
And we convince ourselves for a moment of time
That this is where we're meant to be
When we all fall asleep
When we are all knee deep
Inside the water that is rising
For the tide to come and take us out to sea
This is how it feels to just be, free

You listen to The 1975 while all your friends are getting high
Sitting out and talking shit by candlelight
Designer things and diamond rings
Sold your soul for that quick fix
You know we're not so different you and me
So we sink
To depth we know we couldn't reach
With thoughts we know we shouldn't think
Running from secrets we know
We probably should not speak
And the shadows come to haunt my dreams
And my mouth just can not say these things
But someday you will know
The things I do not show
About me

'Cause we can talk talk talk 'til the lights go out
And we can dance and shout 'til our lungs give out
The moon will sweep us off our feet
And into galaxies
And the blackened sky makes our senses rise
And we convince ourselves for a moment of time
That this is where we're meant to be
When we all fall asleep
When we are all knee deep
Inside the water that is rising
For the tide to come and take us out to sea
This is how it feels to just be, free
