Force of Nature

I called us a force of nature once
Cos it was just so true
And when I act like a fucking tornado
You say, “my god, that’s just so you”
I know I’m crazy about you still
I know you must be too
I think we’re crazy underneath it all
We’re a storm that just blew through
I could never forget how much I care
I could never forget that you were there
In all the crucial happy poignant moments in my life
And I could never cut myself free from you even with the sharpest knife
Cos we are joined at the hip and joined at the waist
Put my arms around your neck, let’s make a total disgrace
Of ourselves in public
(Yeah that’s our favourite trick)
We’re dancing like mad to a band you don’t even like
If you freeze the moment and someone handed me a mic
I would tell the world about those damn girls
That I’m obsessed with
(Just try and shut me up)
And it’s going to be fucking mayhem
If you agree let me hear you scream “amen”
This is the same song with a different tune
It’s the same old love song I’ve always sung to you
My stupid girls
You’re my stupid girls
And I’m not going anywhere without you
Cos we’ve got so much to do
Just wait till we get started
You know it’s true
That if I loved you anymore I’d lose my mind
It’s possible I already have, I’d lose my mind
You know it’s not me, I’d never leave a man behind
It’s possible I’m never gonna let you go
I’m just gonna be locked up some day
Babbling in quotes that we used to say
I’m gonna make no sense to anyone
And that’s a promise, that’s just my two cents
I’ll never ever ever ever get over you

Reality Can Be Intense

I set up the camera so I could watch my life back
And marvel at it, baby, I think you gave me a heart attack
Cos I can’t breathe, cos I’m laughing so intensely
We already know where this one goes, so lets dispense with the pleasantries
Pleasantries
If the moon never rises
The day never ends
If the sun never dies
Then the night never descends
Look through the lens
Reality can be intense
I’d rather lose my mind, my friends
Oh, let’s go crazy, playing pretend
If we really started a cult, then you know we’d all go mad with power
Fantasy is so sweet that the day to day tastes sour
These dreams are memories, who needs reality, my dear?
He’ll never take em from me, the gravedigger of my teenager years
Teenage years
If the moon never rises
The day never ends
If the sun never dies
Then the night never descends
Look through the lens
Reality can be intense
I’d rather lose my mind, my friends
Oh, let’s go crazy, playing pretend
If I could turn back time, you know I’d do it all again the same way
Have words with fate, make sure she never lets this thing go sideways
If I could escape, you know I wouldn’t, you’ve got me, lock and key
Let’s stay delusional, for that you can always count on me
The moon never dies
The day never descends
The sun never rises
The night never pretends
Look through, my friends
Reality can be the lens
I’d rather lose my mind intensely
Let’s go playing, crazy in the end

When you don't know
Do you go through with it?
When you don’t know
Oh oh oh oh oh
When you’re painfully shy
When it’s 2009
When the sun shines out of your friends eyes
But I'm so glad X3
That I went through with it X3
That I went through with you
With you
You're my evergreen
You endure, and I'm so sure
That I'll still be here in 3009
When the cat’s gone
How the mice do play
How did we get out of those mad times?
Without a serious case of tooth decay
Should I compare thee,
To a summer’s day?
Even when we’re not on fire
We still glow like embers on a lazy Sunday
My evergreen
You endure, and I'm so sure
That it was meant to be
We endure and I get surer
That I'll still be here in 3009
To recall the best of times
Back then in 2009
The dream came alive
It was the summer of our lives
Oh oh oh oh oh
Back then in 2010
You were my best friends
We all kind of gave up the pretence
Of needing anyone else
Back then in 2011
We dreamed of making movies
So aimless but driven
Hey, that was living
Wasn’t it?
Back then in 2012
We put our dreams on the highest shelf
So we could stare up at them
Give us something to grow into
Back then in 2013
Our lives were a fucking teenage dream
You could never shut us up
Cos we’d never stop screaming
Back then in 2014
We walked at midnight
Things were bittersweet
And our seams
Were a little unstitched it seems
Back then in 2015
We messed around like the boys that we saw on the screen
And laughed and cringed
At the obscenity
It was insanity
Back then in 2016
I’m starting to forget the way it played out
But like the evergreen
We endured
We stayed clean
Back then in 2017
We were much less ambitious
Listening to your playlist while doing the dishes
Your kitchen floor was so fucking cold
How did it never get old?
Back then in 2018
In the flash of the camera we glowed and gleamed
And we sat on the hood of an abandoned car
Almost got hit on the corner and laughed for hours
Back then in 2019
I filmed our lives while we caused a scene
At every single graveyard and abandoned house
In the fucking north east
Back then in 2020
I didn’t see you but boy did we
Have fun over video calls
And time was stalled
Back then in 2021
We made up for lost time by going out of our minds
Talking to ghosts, doing our best
Living at the behest of the madness
Back then in 2022
They were kinda strange days but I still had you
And you still had me
And we’ve been trying new things lately
Right now in 2023
You’re still the same two people to me
Whether we drink wine in Paris
Or sit in a carpark
Getting high from eating too many sweets
(Back in the cheap seats)
Our supermarket aesthetic is a hard one to beat
Back then in 2009
Did we know we'd have the time of our lives?
Not everyone gets to have what we did
And these days when you come around
You know I'll be there X3
When you come around
You know I’ll be there X2
You know I'll be there when we're underground
