I lost my way / I was old enough to know better
I misbehaved / I was young enough to be about it
But how long how long can these days go on
I went astray / I was young enough to be wild
Forgot my name / I was wild enough to be lonely
But how long how long can these days go on
I wanna be tame / but also wander
burst into flame / but I’m so fond of
you calling my name
I was waylaid / I was drunk enough to be breezy
But I broke my face / I was scared enough to feel nothing
How long how long can these days go on
I wanna be tame / but also wander
burst into flame / but I’m so fond of
you calling my name

Chan, I’m not trying to make sense of you
I’m trying to reconcile
the shape of your desire
with this hole inside my heart
If I let you drive / would you let me ride / beside you?
This world is full of life / of pain, of joy, of strife.
Chantal, I’m trying to make room for you—
to let you out into the light
you’ll open up our eyes
and let the shadow pass you by
If I let you ride / would you let me drive / sometimes?
You know you’re my ride or die/ and we’ve got so much time.
Chan, I’m trying to get close to you
we’re stepping out into the night
and all that you despise
is gonna leave you by and by
If I let you drive / would you let me ride / beside you?
This world is full of life / the day fades into night
If I let you drive / would you let me ride / astride
your unicorn pegasi, your beast of perfect light?

Night song / feels like this forever
Night song / leafing through the weather
Night song / feathering together
Night song / bull is in the heather
Nothing could be better
Could it?
Nothing could be better
Should it?

Idiot

Saw an open door
I’ve been here before
I’m gonna walk right through
I’m gonna walk right through
I have lain in wait
In a fallow state
But when the light peeks through
I’ll know just what to do
A little sun and rain
A little joy and pain
It’s enough to see me through
Idiot — It’s what you wanted, want
Idiot — It’s what you wanted, want
See them shadows on the wall, having a ball
From an act of love
An accidental dove
She is the flaming truth
She is the idiot proof
That push can come to shove
I could’ve been your bruv
A silver bullet through
What they done to you
Days we’d wait for rain
Days where nothing changed
Was never enough to see you through
Idiot — It’s what you wanted, want
Idiot — It’s what you wanted, want
See them shadows on the wall, having a ball
