I'm nervous about what's gonna happen to me
Once I get over this, when I've been set free
From this routine that I've been trapped in, can't even force a smile and blend in
And it's been playing on my mind that I always feel so guilty
When I never did anything wrong
I'm learning my lessons, I'm taking my own advice
My message in a bottle is a song
I was stuck down, coloured in but faded out
Wasting paper trying to work this out
My weekly problems have nothing on me now
And every cloud outside is silver once again, but it still rains sometimes
And I'm nervous about the way I'm treating my friends
I've been heavy on the light-hearted end
Surprise, they're low with me, everyone is struggling to breathe
There's definitely something in the air
I cannot say whether I will make it through the day
But you'll be awake this afternoon
And you'll hear me playing music when it is too loud to think
Noises are all muffled, when I never leave my room
I was stuck down, coloured in but faded out
Wasting paper trying to work this out
Maybe I just need, some time alone
Cos it's been years since I really had a home

Strawberry

I tried believing that something good would happen if I waited long enough
Is it clear that my patience is wearing thin?
You are the reason that my dreams are out of season and my legs twitch all the time
Maybe I'll be okay tomorrow, I'll never be this way again
Keep both feet on the ground, but don't ever look down
Don't ever look down
You'll make a decision, to make this division
We were divided all along
So I haven't felt this way since I was younger
Why did all of these moments have to go to waste?
Strawberry it reminds me of summer
But I can barely stand the taste
But you are strong enough, you're stronger than you think
Breaking like a branch, not snapping like a twig
That night you stood outside my window, well I should have let you in
I was too scared to consider it
I gotta get through this.
I think I owe you an apology
And you still treat me as a friend
So I'll fold, and say it over and over again

If I'd known when I was 17, what my life was panning out to be, well I guess I would've stayed with you
I find it hard to fall asleep, with the bed springs digging into me scraping over scars from new years eve, when we didn't make it through
We were young and carelessly, living in the present, and now I know that good things never last
Cause your trust is such an issue, if you give it up completely, have me taking all my walks through broken glass
But honestly, I wish we didn't fall apart
You know how high you set the bar, I hope you'd say the same for me
And in Germany you said I'd never be alone
I thought you meant it from the tone of your voice, but then you cried the whole way home
Why would you cry the whole way home
This is the last song that I'll sing to you
Even if you don't want me to
All the shit that you put me through wasn't worth it in the end
A classic case of anxiety
Nothing was as it was meant to be
Pulled apart and analysed again
I found my freedom when I lost a friend
You knew I wasn't a liar
I always told you the truth
You hid your secrets like nuclear codes
I never needed the proof
A little jealousy makes the heart grow fonder
Or so I told myself
But you didn't want to leave this dead end town
Without a plane ride out
And you clouded my perspective
And you really dragged me down
But I meant every word I said when I lay there in your bed
I knew you'd come around

This pain that I'm feeling deep inside my chest is spreading to my lungs
Because I keep smoking my nights away instead of getting drunk
And I'm still breathing, still oxygenating my blood
Nothing can compare to when I'm feeling numb
What if I'm a failure?
In my grandfathers eye
Well I won't sing him this
Ignorance really is bliss
Oxford at 17 is too much to compete with
We are not, we are not the sky above we're the stars that fill it
We are not, we are not the oceans blue we make the currents within it
We are not, we are not the sky above we're the stars that fill it
And we should be proud to be us
I could help shape the foundations of modern structures
And I would be happy, happy making others content
But I'm not a builder, I am more of a painter
I'll add the details if they do the rest
What if I'm a failure?
Not where I'm meant to be
Well I won't say this
Ignorance really is bliss
Oxford at 19 wasn't good to start with
If I could be anyone I'd still be me
