1975

You listen to The 1975 while I just try to feel alive

The disconnect, you know I see it

You're turning pages like the seasons

I read to try to find the meaning

Nonfiction, I don't like to live out fantasy

Is it weak to see the colour drain?

Is it wrong to break the window frame?

Is it cool to misplace the face that you were wearing all along?

Does it suck when your luck runs out?

Does it hurt to cry and let it out?

Does it feel the way we used to feel so many years ago

When we were young?

'Cause we can talk talk talk till the lights go out

And we can dance and shout till our lungs give out

The moon will sweep us off our feet and into galaxies

And the blackened sky makes our senses rise

And we convince ourselves for a moment of time

That this is where we're meant to be

When we all fall asleep

When we are all knee-deep

Inside the water that is rising

For the tide to come and take us out to sea

This is how it feels to just be

Free

You listen to The 1975 while all your friends are getting high

Sitting out and talking shit by candlelight

Designer things and diamond rings

Sold your soul for that quick fix

You know we're not so different, you and me

So we sink

To depth we know we couldn't reach

With thoughts we know we shouldn't think

Running from secrets we know we probably should not speak

And the shadows come to haunt my dreams

And my mouth just cannot say these things

But someday you will know

The things I do not show about me

'Cause we can talk talk talk till the lights go out

And we can dance and shout till our lungs give out

The moon will sweep us off our feet and into galaxies

And the blackened sky makes our senses rise

And we convince ourselves for a moment of time

That this is where we're meant to be

When we all fall asleep

When we are all knee-deep

Inside the water that is rising

For the tide to come and take us out to sea

This is how it feels to just be
