And Maybe I'm Scared

Loneliness 

Is a blanket

Hung from stars

Haunts the streets

Oh, united souls

We’ll never meet

I could be anything

Evergreen

Sweater weather

Hopeless runaways

Childhood chase

And in those shifty eyes

My freckled face

Your heart was make believe

Maybe I’m scared of the silence

But maybe I’m not alone

I overhear phrases in fragments

And wish I’d never known,

I wish I’d never known

And maybe I’m scared of the silence

But maybe I’m not alone

I overhear phrases in fragments

And wish I’d never known

I wish I’d never known

We’d end like this

Seventeen

Flights above you

And the world 

Opens wide

Over tower blocks

The turning tide

One day we’ll all forget

Neighbourhood

Single mattress

Words that bind

Liar’s thread

On your empty bunk

I banged my head

And we begin again
