Back at the start of the storyboard
We watched our breath dance as frozen thoughts
Adjust the lights and get the dialogue just right
A neverous smile super imposed
Heavy hearts, made weightless
Picture stills in motion
A time lapse scene stood bare for all to see
The frames flickered
The cogs and wheels ceased to turn
I swear when we touched the earth moved
This is no adaptation from the photographs pinned to your wall
Undeveloped polaroid memories
Bittersweet and amplified
The frames flickered
The cogs and wheels ceased to turn
I swear when we touched the earth moved
The script was rewritten all the scenes acted out
The only thing to do was notate the score
So I'll go back to act one, back to the opening shots
Back to the day the earth moved.

3am dance floor scenes,
Uncomfortable social circles
In the earliest of hours, the nerves and the fidgets occurred
I would have spilled out the words if not for the knot in my gut or my tongue
The playing of cards and the showing of hands, all down to the leading me away from the bar
Flock to the floor like moths to a flame,
we've got fires in our hearts and heat in our steps
"One more couldn't hurt at all"
But that means there will be an awful lot of smoke!
Held tight
Bright lights
Thick air
and Drunken stares
Like a switched we made up our minds
Realised
Flock to the floor like moths to a flame,
we've got fires in our hearts and heat in our steps
"One more couldn't hurt at all"
But that means there will be an awful lot of smoke!
Flock to the floor....

Empathy is wasted when you sit around in apathy
Cold clear cut indifference
Lips buttoned tightly shut
We could talk each other black and blue; vocalise fisticuffs
But your words hit harder than any stick or stone
Tell me why do you put us under the question mark?
Are the smallest of answers too much to ask?
And tell me why do you keep running?
And how am I supposed to argue in one way conversations when it's clear enough you'll already win?
Glazed eyes don't cry: fixed on the wall
Silently fighting your private confidential war
I'll keep trying to open up the doors
But you've changed all the locks and swallowed the key
Tell me why do you put us under the question mark?
Are the smallest of answers too much to ask?
And tell me why do you keep running?
And how am I supposed to argue in one way conversations when it's clear enough you'll already win?

Lately i've been thinking of ways to push forward the hands of the clock, counting the air mailes and hours difference
Lately i've been thinking of nights spent apart, and nights spent together and how the latter seemed to be far more action than words.
During those nights, I'd remember us in your room sitting on your bed,
Cross legged, working out the words and the chords and the melodies
You played upon my mind all night when you played my guitar
It's raining in June, a matching mood that's so typically English
The weather sighs and bends the trees outside
Whipping up, a whirlwind of words so turbulent that matched the feelings that you would impart
A flustering beating of hearts
(I'll cast off in paper boats with holes in the sails and cardboard anchors)
During those nights, I'd remember us in your room sitting on your bed,
Cross legged, working out the words and the chords and the melodies
You played upon my mind all night when you played my guitar
I'll cast off in paper boats with holes in the sails and cardboard anchors
Fighting surging waves I'll set my course throughout the night
To tell you this will all be fine.

I could lay here for hours
Wrapped up in last night's sheets
And hold you so close that dawn itself is too shy to look through the curtains
As morning talks our shallow yawns will pass the time
Your finger tracing the outline of my tattoos
Such a welcome change from waking up alone
So many miles from home
But who'd have known that home was two flights of stairs away?
