i still play the piano sometimes, although i mess up at the end. one day i’ll record something properly. but now at least we know it’s real. lyrics below and download here for those silly enough to still be using iPhones with no Flash players.

you never cared so much when the night went out
even when the house shakes and holds you down, under waterfalls
and i spoke twice you understand, that the air is running out
of all the stories in your head

and god sat underneath our windows
counting acorns as we speak
and with the most peculiar silence
the southern oceans turn to ghosts
underwater

you never cared so much when the night went out
even when the house shakes and holds you down, under waterfalls
and i spoke twice you understand, that the air is running out
of all the stories in your head

so now we both bow down to reason
the king of france begins to weep
for when the queen picks up her pencils
all the days turned into blank
white pages

and in that house the one held deep beneath the sea
the water whispers “dear, your love is yours to keep”
awake at night, they sleep

so now the time starts to turn backwards
and all the clocks began to beat
for once you’ve set yourself on fire
the ones you love will cease to be
with you

you never cared so much when the night went out
even when the house shakes and holds you down, under waterfalls
and i spoke twice you understand, that the air is running out
of all the stories in your head
