James Bay

I know it hurts that we don't touch anymore It's even worse because we built this from the floor It's just as hard for me to know I might see you around It's just as hard for me to worry about reaching out The more I think about you, the more I keep the ghost...

No you don't have to wear your best fake smile Don't have to stand there and burn inside Oh oh oh, if you don't like it She's working late and making eyes at the door She's sick of everybody up on her floor She wants the sun in her eyes, but all she get...

Tail lights and runways We put on a brave face We write down the details to make us feel safe Cold on the mattress Sad and alone I think it's ten thousand minutes 'til I get home Someday we're gonna get to do all the things that we wanted to Never wann...

Darkness bleeding in, the sun is getting low No diamonds in the trees, only leaves of gold And our long days in the heat haze start to fade We can hide under sheets, under heavy covers So deep as the night draws in And we'll be slow honey lovers 'til the...

I know we'll do it again I know we're going to collide I know we'll call it the end But it's always, always a lie You wear your heart on your sleeve I wear my blood on my tie But it's only love underneath, this disguise Oh you left, a hole in me But I...

Walking through the traffic on a Monday In the town I grew up Shelter from the rain in every doorway It's dark and everyone's numb Kids are making faces in the bus lane But nobody looks up Everyones life is same as yesterday Just like the ticking of clo...

This ain't for the best My reputation's never been worse, so You must like me for me We can't make Any promises now, can we, babe? But you can make me a drink Dive bar on the East Side, where you at? Phone lights up my nightstand in the black Come her...

Tell me what this is for you 'Cause you only text me after 2 I wanna just be done with you But I call you back 'cause I'm a fool Come get me when your promises come true Until then I'll keep driving out to you You say nothing all night I'm back, woman,...

Hey you! Remember me? Remember love? Remember trying to stay together? My time, you took it all You tried to see You tried to bring yourself up Without involving me It isn't fair, To have your way, To try and get up and go And na na na na now can't you see...

I've been working all night watching them empty out Invisible to this crowd, always double vision I've been losing my mind listening to broken speech Stacking up broken seats, it's a lonely picture And I hear your voice as it echoes 'round my head Always...

Loneliness, got you down here feeling low When it burns on the inside, the outside gonna go Loneliness, when no one wants to know You got that all important message That the tension just won’t show Loneliness, you feel so far away Why can’t everyone you...

Between the streets, before the night I find you all alone Shaking tired, but looking lost I came to take you home And we're walk in silence Side by side! And I-I-I just wanna lay you down your burdens, all your fears And I-I-I don't need your deepest s...

It's only getting harder Talking to you without falling down And this house keeps getting darker We used to love, now all we do is shout If we're cutting any corners There's still a chance to make it right So let's put our heads together Before we lose...

Tried to keep you close to me, But life got in between Tried to square not being there But think there that I should've been Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes Hold back the river so I Can stop for a minute and see where you hide Hold back t...

Blue is all I've ever really known Playing records that I couldn't own Walking fast into the ticket line Walking slow to save a lonely night I'm sweeping up at 9 a.m Unable to pay my rent Across the bar, beneath the mess of alcohol and cigarettes There...

Some people live for the fortune Some people live just for the fame Some people live for the power, yeah Some people live just to play the game Some people think that the physical things Define what's within And I've been there before But that li...

Saw you today after so much time Felt just like it used to be Talking for hours about a different life Surrounded us in memories We were close never close enough Where are we now? If it's torn we can stitch it up Don't rule it out Oh no no I'll come a...

I'm gonna get you in my head, in my head, in my head I'm gonna get you in my head 'til I can't forget I'm fed up with this profile I don't sleep, I'm obsessed I get worn out by my words 'cause they sounded so good in my head I'm confused and I'm lonely...

I breathe in slow to compose myself But the bleeding heart I left on the shelf Started to speeding now beating half to death Because you're here and you're all mine I press my lips down into your neck And I stay there and I reconnect Bravery I've been t...

Waking up in the middle of the night Blurry eyes into my telephone light All your words in disguise Makin' me think like you're mine We were such a pretty picture in a frame Now it's like you don't remember my name Let me in where you've been Where we g...

When the time gets right I'm gonna pick you up And take you far way From trouble, my love Under a big ol' sky Out in a field of green There's gotta be something Left for us to believe Oh, I await the day Good fortune comes our way And we ride down t...

Hey shady baby I'm hot Like the prodigal son Pick a battle eenie meenie miney moe Hey flower you're the chosen one Well you're left hand's free And your right's in grip With another left hand Watch his right hand slip Towards his gun Oooh I tackle weeds just...

From walking home and talking loads To seeing shows in evening clothes with you From nervous touch and getting drunk To staying up and waking up with you But now we're sleeping at the edge Holding something we don't need Oh, this delusion in our heads Is gonn...

Home now, end of the night And it's colder to turn on your side And I know you're up in two hours We didn't get tonight, we don't have tomorrow So don't ruin now. How we gonna move together? Come closer If we don't move together, just come closer...

I'm half way gone Sleepless I'm battle worm You're all I want So bring me the dawn I need the sun to break You've woken up my heart I'm shaking, oh My luck could change Been in the dark for weeks And I've realised you're all I needed I hope I'm not...

Seven texts, 2 a.m. Halfway dressed, they're all saying, "Call me up" You can't sleep, you’re testing me Bad but sweet and I'm just tryna keep it together, oh And now you're sayin'... Put your hands on my body just like you think you know me Want your h...

Don't fall into my arms Don't ask me to repeat it Don't suffocate my heart I don't know what I'm feeling Do you wanna talk? Do you wanna talk it through? Swear I ain't got anything on my mind I don't wanna talk to you (Don't ask me) Do you wanna talk...

I found you all alone I came to warm your bones There were twenty million tears in your hands You found me in the dark You came to heal my scars I was slipping, sinking through the sand They say the more you love the harder you fall But I would rather...

When my heart is ready to burst, When the world spins in reverse I'll keep running To the place where I belong When you go, turn down the light No one's here to hold you in the night I'll keep running To the place where I belong When you think you're...

You're setting off, it's time to go, the engine's running My mind's lost, we always knew this day was coming And now it's more frightening than it's ever going to be We grow apart, I watch you on the red horizon Your lion's heart, will protect you under st...

From the hot strobe lights and the spiked punch bliss And the long walks home in the dark we'll miss Nobody teaches you how to reminisce Nobody teaches you to hurt like this Then we slide into the arms of someone else Yeah, we slide into the arms of some...

If I told you about my favourite dream The one without you Would you spit fire at me? Or would you burn to know Every single by blow I don't know her Maybe she isn't real She didn't hold back When you were lying next to me This can't be all we are Silent and...

We were kids Lookin' out into nothin' Lookin' for a way to get around the night We were kids Holdin' out for a dream We were born to be wild and free Or sit alone online But I don't wanna wait Sit the other side of these flood lights Dreaming up a wa...

All we need is a spark A second chance, a lifeline Waiting now in the dark Holding up for a search light No I don't know why seasons change Or how we fell so far Before our hearts go up in flames Let's go throwing stones And stealing cars Let the he...

We shed tears for movie scenes No real fears, fake feelings It's a sentimental wasteland We're young enough to lose teeth But not old enough for enemies Still steering with both hands We were just kids living young and naive Running round streets like...

I call you when I need you, when my heart's on fire You come to me, come to me, wild and wild When you come to me, give me everything I need Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams Speak the language of love like you know what it means And it...

Sometimes I'm beaten, sometimes I'm broke 'Cause sometimes this city is nothing but smoke Is there a secret? Is there a code? Can we make it better? 'Cause I'm losing hope Tell me how to be in this world Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt Tell m...

Can't shake this feeling At the end of each day Then I keep on working hard And all I do is get paid. Then I keep believing There's a line up ahead Cos it's only getting darker, And I could stay in my bed It's a fine it takes so long But I've learnt to ho...

You get me high, love No matter where I go You're the first thing on my mind We started to fade I know I was supposed to call, I wasn't alone And it was late in different time zones You've got eleven, I was on your side I was only waking up I just need...

Hold onto something, I can feel the floor leaving We're done with coming up and way past coming down My body shakes, a part of missing you I know you miss me too, I know you do Is it a sane desire? Is it insane to try? We let this runaway train catch fi...

Drifting apart, getting harder to hold you Days getting dark and the nights are growing cold Are we burning out? Swept out of sight, rolling out on an ocean Let’s cut all the ropes and get lost in the moment If our hearts are alive, maybe then they might...

Don't know what to say to you now Standing right in front of you Don't know how to fade in and out Don't know how to play it cool, lose a little guard Let it down, We don't have to think it through We've got to let go I wanna give you wild love The k...
