i wanna be within whatever walls you call your home that day
stray far from the open in the storm but dont forget my face
well you can bring me something just let me know that you make it home today - we're like endpoint terminals (yeah, yeah) just open circuitry - i'll make a diagram of all your sparks and all the different ways you shine on me
and you know you mean it, you know you mean it
you mean a long long long long minute to me
and you know i meant it, when i say it
you mean a long long long long minute to me
(are we nearly there yet?) (they punch my one call on to your landline oh) (are we nearly there yet?)
so im staring at a shopfront on a street that i should recognise but all i know for sure is my way back to you - and the hours in between us that im not okay with stacking up while you keep watch for both of us
oh is it this way now - (call me when you get back home now)
is it this way now - (i keep running seconds back over)
you know you mean it, you know you mean it
you mean a long long long long minute to me
and you know i meant it, when i say it
you mean a long long long long minute to me
and its not like im counting seconds but you mean a long long long long minute to me
you know you mean it, you know you mean it
you mean a long long long long minute to me

i'm making my way back to you awaiting the news
i sit on my hands and stare at my shoes - tell me you miss me now
kept falling into waking up, tell me have you been sleeping much?
well i can't be the only one struggling to tell the days apart
so many things to show you i don't know where to start
building up inside me like a house of cards - gripping to the minutes that belong to us
we dance so slow it's almost like we never start - balancing the weight to keep our bodies up
the days are getting lighter but i feel the same
and you know you see right through me like a windowpane
we learned to call each other by another name
like some shortcut or another to a common place
being right just didn't feel so nice this time - well i can't be the only one struggling to tell you that i'm fine
i'm making my way back to you awaiting the news
i sit on my hands and stare at my shoes - blink and you'll miss it now
tripping over into waking up - tell me how you been holding up?
well i can't be the only one falling just falling through the cracks
let me know when you get this would you please call me back?
remember me forever - can you promise that? tearing through the hours like we're born to that
don't tell me it'll be longer i can't cope with that
i swear i'm getting greyer like a chimney stack
nothing you could hit me with could even match - looking like i'm coasting forward 'til i stumble back
soften up the silence with the click of your door
and i can't even meet my own eyes anymore
i promise it won't happen like it did before
well i can't be the only one falling just falling through the floor
don't know what i been waiting on - tell me what you're thinking?
i am not afraid of it any more, i am not afraid of it anymore
living in a circle i - i recognise this feeling but
i am not afraid of it any more, i am not afraid of it anymore

wanna show you round my hometown - where i learned to stand up
and where i learned to fall down
i don't wanna let you out of my sight - the world was pushing me left
but you were on the next right
even though we're miles apart
my mind is playing tricks on my heart
i thought i saw you in the shop last night
but i know you're taller in real life
i wanna circle back into that place
where we listened to frank ocean on the fire escape
there's all these moments just waiting in line
i got enough here to last the whole ride
even though we're miles apart
my mind is playing tricks on my heart
i thought i saw you in the shop last night
but i know you're taller in real life
you can come around any time
now would be a good time
even though we're miles apart
my mind is playing tricks on my heart
i thought i saw you in the shop last night
but i know you're taller in real life

and you - get brighter comparatively speaking to the dark
and you - flash out in silence kiss the shoreline with a spark
and in a second of summer everything is shadowed next to you
and you
i get dayblindness when you're nearby, even when i close my eyes
i get dayblindness and i can't see what's standing right in front of me
and i prefer it when you are here with me
i get dayblindness and i can't see - oh
love aches like i'm all out of place sometimes but i know
i could fill up this house with all the things that i know about you
stuff breaks at a curious rate around me so i'm on my toes
and we can fill up the spaces in between with a whole other view
i get dayblindness when you're nearby, even when i close my eyes
i get dayblindness and i can't see what's standing right in front of me
and i prefer it when you are here with me
i get dayblindness and i can't see - oh

feels like summer with you
when you light up my room
tryna stay up as long as you
it'll be over soon
when i can't find you anywhere i
leave a voicenote here or there i
wanna let you know i know the feeling, feeling
tell me what you need right now i'd
move the ground for you right now or
hold your hand and stare at the same ceiling, ceiling
god knows i know that you've had your better days and
we both know that i can almost hold your weight and
i'd do anything to make you feel okay tonight, last night, past life
you can't always tell me what you think about and
i won't be the one to make you spell it out but
i'd do anything to make you feel alright tonight, last night, next life
i recognise your walk so clearly
skipping down the stairs like a slinky
springing over steps like it's easy
if only it could be so simple,
springing over steps like it's easy
skipping down the stairs like a slinky

i'll take the weight of your heart
even when you speak in nothings
sleeping on my belly with one eye open
i remain in the dark
tryna be the one to solve your shape
how could i be better off without you
when i love every little thing about you?
if only i could bless your worried mind
if you let me i would swallow all your sadness
sleeping on my belly with my phone in my hand
i'll chuck this thing away when you get back
everything i need will be near me
