lyrics

He fell in love with the morning the way the sun rose
She Wake up on the couch wearing the same clothes
Whats the end to the story that only the fates know
I dunno but it stars him and her as the stars of the stage show

He was quite and shy the kind to stay at home
She was the life of the party popping mollies and drinking rose
So when she ain't there he's with Mary getting stoned
Writing love songs for her cos she, she like his poems

They hanging at the station like two snotty kids
Smoking cigarettes and watching the smoke spin
I mean they met cos he always saw at his gigs
An anonymous fan that would bump her head with the kick

They laugh and tell stories about what there dreaming
The first thought when she wakes up. They last when he's sleeping
But he has nightmares and he's fighting with his Deamons
I guess that's why he always looks frightened in the evening

Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie
Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie

They used to be connected like trading Pokemon
Now they're love is something they don't focus on. What went wrong
She cried a river out a super soaker gun
Looking at his smile but feels sorrow as she's chocking up

Well she's thinking is it worth it.
Did I just waste my time with a guy with no purpose
Is love even real. Should I really keep on searching
I mean he's got dreams but can't achieve em it ain't certain
Mean whilst he's home as happy as can be
He's got his issues but he's just happy he is free
He finally met a girl that understands his need
Is supportive of his dreams and knows will never cheat
But he knows it ain't enough but works 60 hour week
And she's just pissed cos he ain't what he's set out to be
She's listening to atmosphere and kendrick Lamar
Whilst looking in his eyes thinking hell never get it that far

Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie
Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie

Now the story of two young song birds
Concludes with the life lesson that love hurts
I mean love burns but that's what you get what when you play with fire
But it also shows you should always take what you desire
Cos he's rocking gigs on the weekly
Working shifts he's in knee deep
But still dreams of her when he is sleeping
Still fighting with Deamons but keeps them at bay
Now she's out partying looking for Deamons to slay
He thinks of her face and with a bit of regret
He kisses the air then lights a cigarette
Opposite sides of the tracks but same suburbs
Strangers turned friends, then saviours turn lovers
Cos days passed and weeks turned and years rolled over
Yet him and her are still in fear of the closure
Cos they both live on memories of what once was
That's the last damn time he writes a love song.

Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie
Cos he knows when he wakes she won't be there
Cos she sees it in his eyes she always seems scared
And he knows that her minds pre occupied
Funny how a life can be built upon a lie
