VCR

You
You still have all the answers
And you
You still have them too
And we
We live half in the day time
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

When I find myself by the sea
In another's company by the sea
When I go out the pier
Gonna die and have no fear
Because 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
Spend 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
Going 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 December
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
Under cover
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 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 relearn
Got to keep what I have, preserve

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
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

Wish the best for you
Wish the best for me
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 come
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 come
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

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

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

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

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

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

Next time 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

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

You've Got The Love

( Florence + The Machine / Remixed by The XX )

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