I always saw you
By Brixton bridge
Dressed like a figure in a colour book
Long dress with ribbons in your hair
And there I knew
There I knew
That you would be the only girl
I would truly love
Like the melodies in the lullabies
You sang to yourself
I only saw you
By the maple trees
You were all smiles for the world
But we never spoke a word
Just you like a figure in a photograph
Faded smile sweetened by time
And then I knew
Then I knew
You were the only girl
I truly loved
Like the melodies in the lullabies
You sang to yourself

Real Love

I fell in love with a girl today
But tomorrow she will have a different face
She, she's not here
She, she's not real
Wide eyes short hair and pink lips
Rendered on a screen down to her hips
She, she's not here
She, she's not real
She loves me with all my heart
But only when I press start
She lives in my TV screen
And talks to me in my dreams
She looks at me with a gentle eye
But I lose her when I turn off the Wi-Fi
She does not feel
This is not real
She says she wants to be with me my whole life
And she'll say it the same way after I die
She does not feel
This is not real
She loves me with my whole heart
But only when I press start
She lives in my TV screen
And talks to me in my dreams
She loves me with my whole heart
But only when I press start
She lives in my TV screen
And talks to me in my dreams

Little More

I'm a little more than my tiger sleeves
Like you're a little more than your tomboy shoes
I dreamt of falling up to the moon
Seeing faces of the ghosts I once knew
They used to play with my heart
They ripped my soul apart
Now they don't bother me
Cause I'm a little more when I'm with you
You smile softly but I see right through
I see that different ghosts are haunting you
I hear the fear in every word you use
Afraid I'll end up a ghost watching over you
Because you're lonely, lonely
And you've never met a boy like me
Well please oh please be my own
Cause I dream in black and white when I'm alone
They used to play with your heart
They ripped your soul apart
Now they don't bother you
Cause you're a little more when you're with me
At least that's what I see

You said see you on the flip-side
Well here we are
Here we are
You washed your face in the glitter
To hide the scars
In the stars
Now you're in freefall
The ground's a world away
Now you're in freefall
And everything's okay
Now you're in freefall
The ground's a world away
Oh you're in freefall
Freefall
And it's been a long, long day
It's been a long day
You said you'd be here forever
Where did the time go
Where did it go
And you drank a heartful to forget me
Well goodbye now
Goodbye
Now you're in freefall
The ground's a world away
Now you're in freefall
And everything's okay
Now you're in freefall
The ground's a world away
Oh you're in freefall
Freefall
And it's been a long, long day
It's been a long day

Giving Up The Ghost

Oh my God
Oh my Lord
I've fallen finally
Through the world
But my body
Remains
It gave up the ghost
It gave up the ghost
But I
But I
Gotta give up the ghost
Give up the ghost inside of me
Silently its vibrancy frightens me
Poltergeists
Spectres
Leave me restless
In peace
While pieces
Fade
Reaching the close
Feeling the close
In dreams
Giving up the ghost
