Birthdays Are Sad

Johnny said he likes to know people heart and soul
I nodded along but couldn't find words, as usual
So I danced for him by the side of the sea but I didn't fall in
Which is good, 'cause I still can't swim
We light up and I know that it's wrong but it's also quite right
'Cause birthdays are sad and I can't be lucid all night
And I thought of you as the moon slowly disappeared
And I said 'I wish you were here'
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
I'll run with you to the point of no return
When your head's on fire, sometimes you gotta let it burn
I woke up, got an hour or two and that's sort of good
But I couldn't shake the feeling I'd hear from you
I made up my face and my mind maybe one day my heart
I'm older now, I'm falling apart
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
I'll run with you to the point of no return
When your head's on fire, sometimes you gotta let it burn
Burn, burn
When your head's on fire, sometimes you gotta let it burn

I try to be kind to my younger self
But it's hard not to feel like she put me in hell
She pushed on the padlock and then lost the key
She looks nothing like me
If he was for me then he'd be here with me
And if you were the one then it's you that I'd see
But I'm stuck in between, I'm alone, it's just me
And it's hard not to think it's permanently
Don't ask how I am
Don't look in my eyes
If you ask how I am please know that I'll lie
'Cause I'm fine yeah I'm fine oh I'm fine and I'm fine
I'm fine, fine, fine
I try to be kind to my younger self
But it's hard not to feel like she put me in hell
She pushed on the padlock and then lost the key
She looks nothing like me
If he was for me then he'd be here with me
And if you were the one then it's you that I'd see
But I'm stuck in between, I'm alone, it's just me
And it's hard not to think it's permanently
Don't ask how I am
Don't look in my eyes
If you ask how I am please know that I'll lie
'Cause I'm fine yeah I'm fine oh I'm fine and I'm fine
I'm fine, fine, fine
Please don't leave me
Please don't need me
Ask me how I am, say you understand
You don't, you don't, you don't

No Man Is An Island

You ask me if I'm on something,
You know the answer's no
I'm only feeling high 'cause you and I are dancing slow
Maybe the ships will forget how to float
Maybe the maps will forget all the roads
A reason to stay
A reason not to go
Don't ask me where my friends are from
That isn't what this is
Ask me if my lips would benefit from your kiss
Maybe the ships will forget how to float
Maybe the maps will forget all the roads
A reason to stay
A reason not to go
And no man is an island, I know, I know
So tell me why I'm feeling so alone
The water's always highest before the dawn
But by then, you'll be gone
Maybe the ships will forget how to float
Maybe the maps will forget all the roads
A reason to stay
Oh no, please don't go

Like Me Like That

I don't think I wanna meet your mother,
You're the apple of her eye
I'm not buying presents for your brother,
It's his birthday in while
See I'm the type to make your problems mine
But I'm not gonna sink to that this time
I only want you liking me like I, like I
(I, I, I) I just like the way you move for me
(I, I, I) I just like the way you prove you're keen
(I, I, I) I'm not up for all this deep and complicated stuff
Think you should like me like that oh, oh
I just think it's easy if we hold back
Keep our feelings deep inside
It's not so long ago that I was told that
I need some good love in my life
Oh I'm the type to make your problems mine
But I'm not gonna sink to that this time
I only want you liking me like I, like I
(I, I, I) I just like the way you move for me
(I, I, I) I just like the way you prove you're keen
(I, I, I) I'm not up for all this deep and complicated stuff
(I, I, I) Think you should like me like that oh, oh
I can see how someone could love you
I can see it now
I can see how someone could love you
I can see it now
I just like the way you move for me
I just like the way you prove you're keen
(I, I, I) I'm not up for all this deep and complicated stuff
(I, I, I) Think you should like me like that oh, oh
I think you should like me like that oh, oh
