Wake me up when the day is through
"Things will change next week," they never do
Hear the rain fall, and watch the daylight fading
Another day gone, and nothing to show, another day gone
Thoughts are hazy, fog won't clear
Crumbs accumulate and form a IJsselmeer
I think Endymion had the right idea
I'm an isabelline stain on an otherwise beautiful gown
Live a life that will not change, think I'll just go around and around, again and again
I'll wait for something to change my life
I'll wait for someone like you

Remember when I told you that I'd never fall in love?
That it was just a burden that I was freeing myself of?
I hope that you'll forgive me for the promise that I broke
'Cause Lorelei I swear I loved you more than you could know
I loved the way you'd hold me and tell me everything's alright
I loved the way we'd talk and talk and talk into the night
And I loved the way you looked at me in the pale evening light
And Lorelei, swear down I'll try my best to make things right
I wasn't sure you were the only one for me
And I'm selfish through and through
Was I in love with the way you made me feel?
Or was I in love with you?
I wish I hadn't hurt you but the lesson that I've learned
Is I could never be your baby shackled by concerns
And I hope that you'll forgive me for the promise that I broke
'Cause Lorelei I swear I loved you more than you could know
Lorelei, I swear I love you more than you could know

All You Saints

And you lot say miracles aren't real
I saw one last Tuesday, under floodlights, overseen by St. Philip and St. Chad
And as I lost myself to the revelry like the fifth Followill they forgot
The train reached its final stop
Now I was peregrine there, hundreds of miles away from both my homes
And so I resolved to blend in with my old friends' new friends
But I could not ignore the burning stare of the lady sat opposite me
Now I need you to see
That there are so, so many stories of Jezebels haunting the ends that we walk
Rip out your heart from your chest the first time that you talk
Love you so good that it robs you of your agency
That's not what happened to me
I went along for the banter and secretly liked the idea that I'm more than I seem
Behind these deep brown eyes there's so much more to glean
So when she took me by the hand, led me out of there, and said I was the prettiest girl around?
Well, flattery's my favourite sound
We could dance under faux-Georgian gaslights
And have ourselves a magical night
But I'm not sure your boyfriend would think that's alright
So come let's just not
Train to Lichfield next morning, may all you saints forgive me
'cause I knew not what I'd done
Guide me home to write yet another song 'bout some crazy girl and a crazy autumn night
I mean if that's alright with you

So I'm convinced that this was all a big mistake
How could a girl like you like me, for goodness' sake?
Told you to stay away the warning didn't take
Guess it happens sometimes, it happens sometimes, it happens sometimes, it doesn't
After Nessun Dorma plays, what are we supposed to do
The ever-after's hazy, bun the follow through
And I'm so lazy I could live in dreams of you and think it'll happen sometime
It happens sometimes, it happens sometimes, it doesn't
It happens sometimes, it happens sometimes, it happens sometimes, it doesn't

So Tired

Drag me down, or blow me out
I'm so tired of it all
So much noise, but nothing's changed
I'm so tired of it all
