The xx are four precocious 19 year olds from south west london who provide the hushed minimal strokes of young marble giants and early cure but through the minds of a young act obsessed with the r&b turns of ciara and aaliyah, having gone so far as to cover the latter's 'hot like fire' as the b-side for their first single, 'crystalised' and having first been picked up after recording a sensational version of womak and womak's 'teardrops'. having signed to xl sub-label young turks earlier in the year the band begun to record with a host of the finest producers going, including brazilian giant diplo and up-and-coming hotshot kwes the four eventually settled with the option of recording at xl's in-house studio, with 'xx' eventually produced by the band themselves. this is an inspired, broken and uplifting record, packed with melancholic charms that recalls the suburban disillusion of the previous burial records and portishead's 'dummy'. this is a remarkable debut record from a remarkable new act.

VCR

You used to have all the answers
And you, you still have them too
And we, we live half in the daytime
And we, we live half at night

Watch things on VCRs
With me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars
You say you think we are the best thing
But you
You just know
You just do

I wanna find myself by the sea
In another's company
By the sea
I wanna go out to the pier
I’m gonna dive and have no fear
'Cause you, you just know
You just do

Watch things on VCRs
With me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars
You say you think we are the best thing
But you
You just know
You just do

Crystalised

You've applied the pressure
To have me crystalised
And you've got the faith
That I could bring paradise

I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralyzed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied

Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest

You don't move slow
And taking steps in my directions
The sound resounds echo
Does it lessen your affection
No

You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
But burn down our home
I won't leave alive

Glaciers have melted to the sea
I wish the tide would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer

Placid as I melt into the sea
(Things have gotten closer to the sun)
I wish the tide would take me over
(And I've done things in small doses)
I've been down onto my knees
(So don't think that I'm pushing you away)
And you just keep on getting closer
(When you're the one that I've kept closest)

Go slow
Go slow
Go slow
Go slow
Go slow

Islands

I don't have to leave anymore
What I have is right here
Spent my nights and days before
Searching the world for what's right here

Underneath and unexplored
Islands and cities I have looked
Here I saw
Something I couldn't over look

I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore

See what I've done
That bridge is on fire
Go back to where I’ve been
I’m froze by desire
No need to leave

Where would I be
If this were to go under
That's a risk I'd take
I'm froze by desire
As if a choice I'd make

I am yours now
So now I don't ever have to leave
I've been found out
So now I'll never explore

I am yours now (I am yours now)
So now I don't ever have to leave (ever have to leave)
I've been found out (I've been found out)
So now I'll never explore

So now I'll never explore

Heart Skipped A Beat

Please, don't say we're done
When I'm not finished
I could give so much more
Make you feel like never before
Welcome, they said welcome to the floor

It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you

Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes, I still need you

And I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more

No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before

Heart skipped a beat
And when I caught it you were out of reach
But I'm sure, I'm sure
You've heard it before

Fantasy

For the desired effect
Would you come back August or June, June
And I hate that tomorrow's too soon
But this collision came mid-bloom

Better built to resume
I'll see you August, see you June
I'm building higher than I can see
I want fantasy

Don't rest with the less
I'm burning to impress
It's deep in the middle of me
I can be fantasy

Shelter

I find shelter
In this way
Undercover
Hide away
Can you hear
When I say
I have never
Felt this way

Maybe I had said
Something that was wrong
Can I make it better
With the lights turned on

Maybe I had said
Something that was wrong
Can I make it better
With the lights turned on

Could I be
Was I there
It felt so crystal
In the air
I still want to drown
Whenever you leave
Please, teach me gently
How to breathe

And I'll cross oceans
Like never before
So you can feel
The way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images
Back at you
So you can see
The way I feel it too

Maybe I had said
Something that was wrong
Can I make it better
With the lights turned on

Maybe I had said
Something that was wrong
Can I make it better
With the lights turned on

Maybe I had said
Something that was wrong
Can I make it better
With the lights turned on

Maybe I had said
Something that was wrong
Can I make it better
With the lights turned on

Maybe I had said
Something that was wrong
Can I make it better
With the lights turned on

Basic Shape

Neck, chest, waist to floor
Easy to take, you could take me in fours
Make me a deal, a day a piece
Take it all, just stay a week

I'll take you in pieces
We can take it all apart
I've suffered shipwrecks right from the start
I've been underwater, breathing out and in
I think I'm losing where you end and I begin

Basic space, open air
Don't look away when there's nothing there

I'm setting us in stone
Piece by piece, before I'm alone
Air tight before we break
Keep it in, keep us safe

It's a pool of boiling wax
I'm getting in
Let it set
Got to seal this in
Can't adjust, can't re-learn
Got to keep what I have, preserved

Basic space, open air
Don't look away when there's nothing there

Hot wax has left me with a shine
Wouldn't know if I'd been left behind
Second skin
My second skin

I can't let it out
I still let you in
I can't let it out
I still let you in

Infinity

After all the time
After you
Had you seen me with someone new
Hanging so high for your return
But the stillness is a burn

Had I seen it in your eyes
There'd have been no try after try
Your leaving had no goodbye
Had I just seen one in your eyes

I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much

I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
Care too much
Care too much

Could you tell
I was left lost and lonely
Could you tell
Things ain't worked out my way

I wished the best for you
I wished the best for me
I wished for infinity
If that ain't me

Then give it up
I can't give it up
Give it up
I can't give it up

I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much

I can't give it up
To someone else's touch
Because I care too much
Care too much
Care too much

Give it up
I can't give it up
Give it up
I can't give it up
Give it up
I can't give it up
Give it up
I can't give it up
Give it up
I can't give it up
Give it up
I can't give it up
Give it up
I can't give it up
Give it up
I can't give it up

Night Time

You mean that much to me
And it is hard to show
Gets hectic inside of me
When you go
Can I confess these things to you
Well, I don't know
Embedded in my chest
And it hurts to hold

I couldn't spill my heart
My eyes gleam looking in from the dark
I walk out in stormy weather
Hold my words and keep us together
Steady walking but bound to trip
Should release but just tighten my grip

Night time
Sympathize
I've been working on
White lies
So I'll tell the truth
I'll give it up to you
And when the day comes
It will have all been fun
We'll talk about it soon

And I couldn't spill my heart
My eyes gleam looking in from the dark
And I walk out in stormy weather
Hold my words and keep us together
Steady walking but bound to trip
Should release but just tighten my grip

Night time
Sympathize
I've been working on
White lies
So I'll tell the truth
I'll give it up to you
And when the day comes
It will have all been fun
We'll talk about it soon

Stars

I can give it all on the first date
I don't have to exist outside this place
And, dear, know that I can change

But if stars shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then, dear, it's fine
So fine by me
'Cause we can give it time
So much time
With me

And I can draw the line on the first date
I'll let you cross it
Let you take every line I've got
When the time gets late

But if stars shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then, dear, it's fine
So fine by me
'Cause we can give it time
So much time
With me

If you want me
Let me know
Where do you wanna go
No need for talking
I already know
If you want me
Why go

If you want me
Let me know
Where do you wanna go
No need for talking
I already know
If you want me
Why go

I can give it all on the first date
I don't have to exist outside this place
And, dear, know that I can change

But if stars shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then, dear, it's fine
So fine by me
'Cause we can give it time
So much time
With me

But if stars shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then, dear, it's fine
So fine by me
'Cause we can give it time
So much time
With me


Coexist

Angels

Light reflects from your shadow
It is more than I thought could exist
You move through the room
Like breathing was easy
If someone believed me

They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
As in love with you as I am
They would be
In love, love, love

And every day
I am learning about you
The things that no one else sees
And the end comes too soon
Like dreaming of angels
And leaving without them
And leaving without them
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And with words unspoken
A silent devotion
I know you know what I mean
And the end is unknown
But I think I'm ready
As long as you're with me

Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love with you as I am
Being
As in love, love, love

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***

Chained

I watched you breathe in
And I wished you'd stop
Only for long enough
Long enough

It's
Hard
To
Say

Separate or combine
I ask you
One last time
Did I hold you too tight
Did I not let enough light in

If a feeling appears
If your mind should sway
It's not a secret you should keep
I won't let you slip away
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss

We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you miss

Winged or chained
I ask you
Would you have stayed
Did I hold you too tight
Did I not let enough light in

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***

Fiction

Fiction
When we're not together
Mistaken for a vision
Something of my own creation

I wake up alone
With only daylight between us
Last night the world was beneath us
Tonight comes too long

Were we torn apart
By the break of day
You're more than I can believe
Would ever come my way

Fiction
When we're not together
Mistaken for a vision
Something of my own creation
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Come real life
Why do I refuse you
'Cause if my fear's right
I risk to lose you
And if I just might wake up alone
Bring on the night

Fiction
When we're not together
Mistaken for a vision
Something of my own creation

An uncertain haze
How am I to tell
I know your face all too well
Still I wake up alone

Fiction
When we're not together

Try

We bide our time
Though the time is fine
Oh to be there, I could be there
Say you'll be there

You know the way, I
Can't resist you, I
Said to myself I'd try

Why do we waste time
Hiding it inside
I want you to be mine
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And now it's been and gone
You say what you would've done
You would've been there
I wished you'd been there
I needed you there

And if we try once more
Would you give me it all
I won't believe it
'Til I can feel it
Can you feel it

You know the way, I
Can't resist you, I
Said to myself I'll try

Reunion

Revisit a life we both left behind
We don't know the harm
Move to the ever-moving
All blazing, we go over
And over and over and over again

If I wait too long
I'll lose you from my sight
Maybe tonight
I could stop dreaming
And start believing in forever
And ever and ever and ever again

Reunion, reunion
Reunion, reunion
Never not ever, never not ever again

When there's burning inside
Do you give it up
How long should I wait
There's no need to hide
When there's only you in here

There's an end to us with someone else in sight
You shine a light
And there goes that feeling
It won't let me see them
Never not ever, never not ever again
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Did I see you, see me, in a new light
Did I see you, see me, in a new light
Did I see you, see me, in a new light
Never not ever again
Did I
Never not ever
See you
Never again
See me
Never not ever
In a new light
Never not ever again
Did I see you, see me
Never not ever, never not ever again

Sunset

I saw you again
It felt like we had never met
It's like the sunset in your eyes
I never want it to rise

What have you done
With the one I love
When I look into your eyes
I see no surprise

I always thought it was sad
The way we act like strangers
After all that we had
We act like we had never met

We make believe
I've never seen your face, you neither mine
Don't catch my eye
Don't register a smile

You were more than just a friend
Oh, but the feeling
It never came to an end
I can't bear you seeing

I always thought it was a shame
That we have to play these games
It felt like you really knew me
Now it feels like you see through me

When I see you again
I'll know not to expect
Stay one step away
We won't have to wait
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
When I see you again
And I'm greeted as a friend
It is understood
When we did all we could

I always thought it was sad
The way we act like strangers
After all that we had
We act like we had never met

I always thought it was a shame
That we have to play these games
It felt like you really knew me
Now it feels like you see through me

Missing

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
I don't feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time

Will you miss me
When there's nothing to see
Tell me, how did this come to be
And now there's no hope for you and me

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
I don't feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Do you still believe
In you and me
Are we all we could be
Is it meant to be

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
I don't feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time

My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time

Tides

You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning

Devote, to me
Alone, with me
Safe, with me
Why would you ever want to leave

You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning

Fade out of view
I wouldn't do that to you
I wouldn't just leave us alone
When we could be close, close, close
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Hold me close when you could leave us alone
Why would you just leave us alone
When we have been close, close

You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning


You leave with the tide
And I can't stop you leaving
I can see it in your eyes
Some things have lost their meaning

Unfold

Am I blind
You move your hand away from mine
And I don't take it as a sign
That you're any less than mine

Oh, it doesn't move me to be cold
It doesn't lessen my hold
You know our time meant all
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Oh, let it unfold
I won't leave it untold
The feeling goes on and on and on

In my head
You tell me things you've never said
And I choose to forget
I take the good and leave the rest

Oh, the illusion's getting old
And you don't answer when I call
I would have given you it all

Oh, out of sight, out of mind
It doesn't mean you're not mine
The feeling goes on and on and on

Swept Away

I get swept away
When I think of you
Take me to that place
Where it's control I lose

I'm soothed by you, you take it all away
I lose to you, surrendered at the start of the game
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I'll never deceive
Right here, I always been

Hide away, I hide away with you
I let the world just slip away
And I'm left with you

You light up the sky
Unshadow the moon
The moments we share
Always end too soon

Part of you stays a while
Even when you're far away
How so far away, yet you feel so near

Our Song

All I have, I will give to you
In dark times when no one wants to
I will give you me
And we'll be
Us

All I have, I will give to you
In dark times when no one wants to
I will give you me
And we'll be
Us

And there's no one else
Who knows me
Like you do
What I've done
You've done too
The walls I
Hide behind
You walk through
You just walk through
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Well I know all the words
To take you apart
You know I know your heart
I want to mend your heart
You're broke down
Why don't you tell me from the start
You know I know your heart
I want to meant your heart

And there's no one else
Who knows me
Like you do
What I've done
You've done too
The walls I
Hide behind
You walk through
You just walk through

Reconsider

( Bonus Track )

Remember me, I'm the one that's back from over
Time's gone by and I'm still so far from over

You reappeared like you had never been gone
I lose composure
You're touching me like you have no desire for closure
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Reconsider

Did you lie awake like I did
I stayed up 'til the stars didn't recognize me
So long
I waited so long

Now you don't see the skies that I do
My sun becomes your moon
For a familiar love
I am familiar

I see You

Dangerous

They say we're in danger
But I disagree
If proven wrong, shame on me
But you've had faith in me
So I won't shy away
Should it all fall down
You'll have been my favourite mistake

They say
You are dangerous, but I don't care
I'm going to pretend that I'm not scared
If this only ends in tears
Then I won't say goodbye
'Cause I couldn't care less
If they call us reckless
Until they are breathless
They must be blind

There are voices ringing over
They keep saying, "Danger, danger"
I can't make them take you under
Makes no difference
No one can take this away
Should it all fall down, I'll treasure each day

They say
You are dangerous, but I don't care
I'm going to pretend that I'm not scared
If this only ends in tears
Then I won't say goodbye
'Cause I couldn't…
'Cause I couldn't care less
If they call us reckless
Until they are breathless
They must be blind

Let them say there are warning signs
They must be blind
They must be blind
They say

If this only ends in tears
Then I won't say goodbye

Say Something Loving

Before it slips away
(Alessi Brothers)

Say something loving
I just don't remember the thrill of affection
I just don't remember
Say something loving
I need a reminder, the feeling's escaped me

I went looking for it
Could have been anyone's kiss
Throwing my arms at no one
When I gave up, I found love

The thought flows through my mind
And it's growing all the time
I do myself a disservice
To feel this weak, to be this nervous

You say something loving
It's so overwhelming, the thrill of affection
Feels so unfamiliar
You say something loving
Without hesitation it hits me, hits me
It feels so unfamiliar

Before it slips away

Your touch stays on my skin
I feel it start sinking in
Here come my insecurities
I almost expect you to leave

Were you really looking for me
Try your best to reassure me
I wasn't patient to meet you
Am I too needy, am I too eager

I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know what this is, but it doesn't feel wrong
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know what this is, but it doesn't feel wrong

Did you hear me say it
Say it
Did you hear me say

I say something loving
I can't hold it inside, the thrill of affection
Is only getting stronger
I say something loving
All my hesitations are fading, fading
I feel it taking over

Before it slips away
Don't let it slip away
Before it slips away
Don't let it slip away

Lips

Just your love
Just your shadow
Just your voice
And my soul
Just your love
Just your shadow
Just your voice
And my soul
Just your lips
(Trio Mediaeval)

My name on your lips
Your air in my lungs
Drowned in oxygen
Now you've set the scene
High on intimacy
Drawing me above

I don’t wanna know the way down
I don’t wanna know the way down

Just your love
I just want it all
Just your shadow
Just your voice
I just want it all
And my soul
In my head, in my veins
In the way you give and take
In the weight that you weigh
On my body, on my brain

Chemistry is rare in a two, three–time affair
There's no guarantees
Working through the seasons, pressed up against the ceiling
Pushing down on me

I don't wanna know the way down
I don't wanna know the way down

Just your love
I just want it all
Just your shadow
Just your voice
I just want it all
And my soul
In my head, in my veins
In the way you give and take
In the weight that you weigh
On my body, on my brain

Just your neck
Just your eyes
Just your desire
Just your love and my soul
Just your love
Just your shadow
Just your voice
And my soul
Just your love
Just your shadow
Just your voice
And my soul
I don't wanna know the way down

A Violent Noise

If I'm beating every hand away
No one stays
I've got so cautious
And now I choke on every move I make
Let one play
To be that careless

With every kiss from a friend
With everything I pretend not to feel
Am I too high, am I too proud
Is the music too loud for me to hear

Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise
Try as I might
With every beat comes a violent noise
The melody's sung
But I don't know the voice
Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise

You've been staying out late
Trying your best to escape
I hope you find what you're looking for
Let a moment take place
Without running away
I hope you silence the noise

How could eyes this wide
Lose sight of a world outside?
I've looked away, cowardice
With every kiss from a friend
With everything I pretend not to feel
Am I too high, am I too proud
Is the music too loud for me to hear

Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise
Try as I might
With every beat comes a violent noise
The melody's sung
But I don't know the voice
Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise

Performance

If I scream at the top of my lungs
Will you hear what I don't say
If I dance like I'm on a stage
Will you see I seem out of place?
If I put on a disguise
Will you think everything's alright
If I leave before the end
Will you forget that I was there

When you saw me leaving
Did you think I had a place to go
Since you stopped believing
I've had to put on my own show

I'll put on a performance
I'll put on a show
It is a performance
I do it all so
You won't see me hurting
When my heart it breaks
I'll put on a performance
I'll put on a brave face

Even when I was hiding
You could always find me
Now you've stopped looking for me
But I'm still playing hide and seek
I want you to notice
But you just don't see
The show is wasted on you
So I perform for me

When you saw me leaving
Did you think I had a place to go
Since you stopped believing
I've had to put on my own show

I'll put on a performance
I'll put on a show
It is a performance
I do it all so
You won't see me hurting
When my heart it breaks
I'll put on a performance
I'll put on a brave face

Replica

Same right, same wrong
Only difference is that I'm the one
Second time around
Feels like the song's already been sung

Mirroring situations, accurate imitation
Do I watch and repeat
And as if I tried to, I turned out just like you
Do we watch and repeat

They all say I will become a replica
Your mistakes were only chemical

25 and you're just like me
Is it in our nature to be stuck on repeat
Another encore to an aftershow
Do I chase the night or does the night chase me

Mirroring situations, accurate imitation
Do I watch and repeat
And as if I tried to, I turned out just like you
Do we watch and repeat

They all say I will become a replica
Your mistakes were only chemical

Do I chase the night or does the night chase me
Do I chase the night or does the night chase me

They all say I will become a replica
Your mistakes were only chemical

Brave for You

In all I know
In all I’ve done
I take you along
Though you’re not here
I can feel you there
I take you along

And when I’m scared
I imagine you’re there
Telling me to be brave

So I will be brave for you
Stand on a stage for you
Do the things that I’m afraid to do
I know you want me to
I will be brave
I know you want me to

I see things change
And I watch them grow
And I know you do too
When the things don’t make sense
I have courage
Because of you

And when I’m scared
I imagine you’re there
Telling me to be brave

So I will be brave for you
Stand on a stage for you
Do the things that I’m afraid to do
I know you want me to
I will be brave
I will be brave
Do the things that I’m afraid to do
I know you want me to

There are things I wish I didn’t know
I try my best to let them go

On Hold

I don't blame you
We got carried away
I can't hold on
To an empty space

Now you've found a new star to orbit
It could be love
I think you're too soon to call us old
When and where did we go cold
I thought I had you on hold
In the real world did you copy and paste too?
And every time I let you leave
I always saw you coming back to me
When and where did we go cold
I thought I had you on hold

Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
You've got the body, you've got the body

I thought I had you on hold

Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Dare me to, dare me to

My young heart
Chose to believe
We were destined
Young hearts
All need love
Call it a lesson

The stars and the charts
And the cards make sense
Only when we want them to
When i lie awake staring in to space
I see a different view

Now you've found a new star to orbit
It could be love
I think you're too soon to call us old
When and where did we go cold
I thought I had you on hold

And every time I let you leave
I always saw you coming back to me
When and where did we go cold
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold

Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
You've got the body, you've got the body

Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Dare me to, dare me to

And every time I let you leave
I always saw you coming back to me
When and where did we go cold
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold

I Dare You

I'm in love with it
Intoxicated
I'm in rapture
From the inside I can feel that you want to
Wake up high on it
Feel it suspending
I'm enamoured
Way up in the sky I can see that you want to

I've been a romantic for so long
All I've ever heard are love songs

Singing oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you

I get chills
Heart's rate multiplies
I'm on a different kind of high
A rush of blood is not enough
I need my feelings set on fire
Now I'm deep in it, infatuated
Strong attraction
Side by side, and I know that you want to

I've been a romantic for so long
All I've ever heard are love songs

Singing oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you

I can hear it now like I heard it then
I can hear it now like I heard it then
I can hear it now like I heard it then
I can hear it now like I heard it then

Singing oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
Go on, I dare you
Oh-oh-oh
I dare you

Test Me

I don't know where I went wrong
Tell me, should I see someone
Ceiling's falling down on me
You look but you never see

Just take it out on me
It's easier than saying what you mean
Test me, see if I break
Tell me this time you've changed
I'll take it out on you
It's easier than talking it through
Test me, see if I stay
How could I walk the other way

Naive lyrics

That's the wrong thing
That's the wrong thing to
That's the wrong thing to do

That's the wrong thing
That's the wrong thing to
That's the wrong thing to do

I turned a blind eye
Let the borders get wavy
Nothing touches me lately
Shouldn't I be having fun

It's hard to define
When my memory's hazy
Everyone's trying to save me
Can't they see I'm having fun

Something's wrong, but I choose to be naive
Can't tell no one what it means to me
Something's wrong, but I choose to be naive
And the longer that I leave it, I can feel it taking over me

Shy away and hide out
When it's calling me out
When it's weighing me down
I'll play it down
When all the trouble I've found
Comes back around
If it's catching me now
That's the wrong thing
I'll play it down

Something's wrong, but I choose to be naive
Can't tell no one what it means to me
Something's wrong, but I choose to be naive
And the longer that I leave it, I can feel it taking over me

Either way, I play it down
Either way, I play it down
Either way, I play it down
I play it down

Naive

That's the wrong thing
That's the wrong thing to
That's the wrong thing to do
That's the wrong thing
That's the wrong thing to
That's the wrong thing to do

I turned a blind eye
Let the borders get wavy
Nothing touches me lately
Shouldn't I be having fun?
That's the wrong thing to
That's the wrong thing to do
It's hard to define
When my memory's hazy
Everyone's trying to save me
Can't they see I'm having fun?
That's the wrong thing to
That's the wrong thing to do

Something's wrong, but I choose to be naive
Can't tell no one what it means to me
Something's wrong, but I choose to be naive
And the longer that I leave it, I can feel it taking over me

Shy away and hide out
When it's calling me out
When it's weighing me down
I'll play it down
When all the trouble I've found
Comes back around
If it's catching me now
That's the wrong thing
I'll play it down
That's the wrong thing to
That's the wrong thing to do

Something's wrong, but I choose to be naive
Can't tell no one what it means to me
Something's wrong, but I choose to be naive
And the longer that I leave it, I can feel it taking over me
Something's wrong, but I choose to be naive

Something's wrong, but I choose to be naive

That's the wrong thing

Either way, I play it down
Either way, I play it down
Either way, I play it down
I play it down

That's the wrong thing

Either way, I play it down
Either way, I play it down
Either way, I play it down
I play it down

Seasons Run

Here comes the rain again
It always has an effect on me
Don't know how the seasons run
I always feel like I'm in between

Do I stay inside 'til I see the sun
Once again, let the seasons run
Or do I step outside

I'm somewhere in between
Lightning and the distant crash of thunder
Knowing that it's the coming
Doesn't make me any braver

My fears, my doubts
They're slowly creeping out
And they're intensified
The first drop hits my windowpane
And the emotions start flooding in

I recognize it in the air
The fading light it my precursor
But how do I prepare
I slowly fade as the sky worsens

Here comes the rain again
It always has an effect on me
Don't know how the seasons run
I always feel like I'm in between

Do I stay inside 'til I see the sun
Once again, let the seasons run
Or do I step outside

Blood Red Moon

(Basic Space single)

Picture me under blood red moon
I'll make your eyes turn yellow
Make your skin turn blue

Picture me under blood red moon
I'll make your eyes go yellow
Make your skin turn blue

I know, I know, I know
That it's hard to see
I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know
That you're all I see
I know, I know, I know

Picture me under blood red moon
I'll make your eyes turn yellow
Make your skin turn blue

Picture me under blood red moon
I'll make your eyes go yellow
Make your skin turn blue

I know, I know, I know
That it's hard to see
I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know
That you're all I see
I know, I know, I know

Do You Mind

( Kyla cover )

Tell me
I need to know
Where do you wanna go
'Cause if you're down
I'll take it slow
Make you lose control

Baby
Would you like
To spend the night
The whole night

And maybe
If you play it right
You can be all mine

Do you mind if I take you home tonight
Stay another day
If that's okay
Tell me baby
Would you mind if I take you home with me
Where no one can see
So don't be shy

Night, night, night
The whole night
Night, night, night
The whole night

Baby
I like your style
So let's get it on
When we touch
I can't get enough
Falling for you

Honey
Would you like
To make love tonight
The whole night
And baby
If you play it right
You can be all mine

Do you mind if I take you home tonight
Stay another day
If that's okay
Tell me baby
Would you mind if I take you home with me
Where no one can see
So don't be shy

Night, night, night
The whole night
Night, night, night
The whole night

Do you mind if I take you home tonight
Stay another day
If that's okay
Tell me baby
Would you mind if I take you home with me
Where no one can see
So don't be shy

Night, night, night (baby)
The whole night (honey)
Night, night, night (baby)
The whole night (honey)

Finally

(Kings Of Tomorrow cover / BBC Radio One's Live Lounge)

Time marches on never ending
Time keeps its own time
Here we stand at beginning
And then goes passing us by

And I, I, I can dream for us all
I hope I'm in a better state
When here and now crumbles and falls
And you, you, you who make worlds collide
I knew you'd come knocking one day
Unannounced like a thief in the night

Where do we go from here
Time ain't nothing but time
I now have no fear of my fears
And no more tears to cry

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all
If we don't hear the line
when today places its call

So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through
Waiting and wondering about you

So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through
Waiting and wondering about you

So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through
Waiting and wondering about you

Hot Like Fire

( Aaliyah cover / Crystalised single )

You're hotter than a summer's day in California
You got me melting like a sundae, I want you
I know you've been waiting, you've been waiting a long time for me
If you wait a little while longer this is how we'll be

It's gonna be
Hot like fire
Take you higher
You can't resist
Kiss, kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss
'
You shouldn't have said, "take our time"
I'll let you know when I'm ready, if that's alright
I won't keep you, I won't keep you, I won't keep you holding on
If you wait on me, I promise you it won't be long

I'm gonna take you
Hot like fire
Take you higher
You can't resist
Kiss, kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss and kiss


I Miss You

(Beyonce cover / Live in Austin, TX, USA, 02/12/2013)

I thought that things like this get better with time
But I still need you
Why is that
You're the only image in my mind
So I still see you
Around

I miss you
Like everyday
Wanna be with you
But you're away
Said I miss you
Missing you insane
But if I got with you
Could it feel the same
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Words don't ever seem to come out right
But I still mean them
Why is that
It hurts my pride to tell you how I feel
But I still need to
Why is that

I miss you
Like everyday
Wanna be with you
But you're away
I said I miss you
Missing you insane
But if I got with you
Could it feel the same

It don't matter who you are
It is so simple
A feeling
But it is everything
No matter who you love
It is so simple
A feeling
But it is everything

I miss you
Like everyday
Wanna be with you
But you're away
I said I miss you
Missing you insane
But if I got with you
Could it feel the same

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***

Insects

(VCR single)

Those eyes
Those eyes
Those eyes
Those eyes were sharp like sharpest knife

When I see you and I'm going away
You help me get to the things that you will do
And say when I see you and I'm going away
You help me get to the things that you will do
And say

Those eyes
Those eyes
Those eyes
Those eyes were sharp like sharpest knife

When I see you and I'm going away
You help me get to the things that you will do
And say when I see you and I'm going away
You help me get to the things that you will do
And say

And I feel
And I feel
And I feel
Like an insect

And I feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like an insect

Leads to no nowhere
Coats on your chair
Like an insect

Last Christmas

(Wham! cover / Live on BBC Radio 1)

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
So this year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me, baby
Do you recognize me
Well, it's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
Happy Christmas

I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying, "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
So this year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
I thought you were someone to rely on
Me? I must've been a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Oh
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again
Now I've found a real love, you'll never fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
So this year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
So this year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***

Teardrops

( Womack And Womack cover )

Whenever I hear goodbyes
Reminds me, baby, of you
And I break down and cry
Next time I'll be true, yeah

Fever for lost romance
Reminds me, baby, of you
And I took a crazy chance
Next time I'll be true
I'll be true
I'll be true
I'll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor
Reminds me, baby, of you
Teardrops in my eyes
Next time I'll be true, yeah

Whispers in the powder room
She cries on every tune
Every tune
Every tune

And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
With you

When I'm dancing around
Reminds me, baby, of you
And I really let you down
Next time I'll be true
I'll be true
I'll be true
I'll be true

Footsteps on the dance floor
Reminds me, baby, of you
Teardrops in my eyes
Next time I'll be true, yeah

Whispers in the powder room
She cries on every tune
Every tune
Every tune

And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
And the music don't feel like it did
With you

Together

( The Great Gatsby OST )

I know to be there
When and where, I'll be there
You know what's to be said
It's said out loud, but never said
A premonition of the words comes to me
A sign in your eyes
A familiar light says I'm alright

You said you don't have to speak
I can hear you
I can feel all the things you've ever felt before
I said it's been a long time
Since someone looked at me that way
It's like you knew me
And all the things I couldn't say

Together to be
Together and be...

You've Got The Love

(Florence + The Machine / Remixed by The XX - Candy Staton Cover)

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying, "Lord, I just don't care"
But you've got the love I need to see me through

Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it seems that life is just too much
But you've got the love I need to see me through

When food is gone, you are my daily meal
When friends are gone, I know my savior's love is real
Your love is real

You've got the love
You've got the love
You've got the love

You've got the love
