I'll keep it short
I'm not so sure
What to do these days
'Cause when I'm alone
I feel like a drone
Stacking plates away
You're all that I need
You give me a reason to eat
But when you are gone
I soldier on
A broken machine
I stay up late
And switch off my brain
And my circuitry
The battery dies
When I close my eyes
And you're in my dreams
You're all that I need
You give me a reason to eat
But when you are gone
I soldier on
A broken machine
You're all that I need
You give me a reason to eat
But when you are gone
I soldier on
But I'm not too strong
You string me along
The broken machine

[Verse 1]
I don’t mind seeing you around here
I don’t mind seeing you around here
Call my bluff no it's never enough now
Spin me round I will find my way somehow
[Verse 2]
I told you that I needed some space
I told you that I needed some space
Then you went and you gave me a country
I decided I needed you deeply
[Chorus]
'Cause you burn like the sun
And you shoot like a gun
And you stick like the stone in my shoe
You know you do
You know you do
[Verse 3]
I walk down your street everyday
I walk down your street everyday
Caught a glimpse of you holding another
Kinda wish that I fought a bit harder
[Verse 4]
You didn’t come to my show last week
You didn’t come to my show last week
Guess you’re tired of listening to sad songs
My friend told me he’s written another one
[Chorus]
'Cause you burn like the sun
And you shoot like a gun
And you stick like the stone in my shoe
You know you do
You know you do
You know you do
You know you do
[Chorus]
'Cause you burn like the sun
And you shoot like a gun
And you stick like the stone in my shoe
You know you do
You burn like the sun
And you shoot like a gun
And you stick like the stone in my shoe
You know you do
You know you do

The Last One

I've been spending most my time
Sitting on a train
And staring at the sky
And you've been rent free on my brain
Like a centrifugal force
I can feel you slip away
Now I'm truly sorry
If this is out of line
But I know I want you
For the rest of space and time
When all is said and done
I hope you are the last one
I see you on my screen
The grainy FaceTime gleam
At night I barely sleep
I know I do everything wrong
It's why I wrote this song
To make it clear to see
That I'm truly sorry
If this is out of line
But I know I want you
For the rest of space and time
When all is said and done
I hope you are the last one
The days are getting longer
The tender roots grow stronger
I hope that I don't mess this up
This time
Yeah I'm truly sorry
If this is out of line
But I know I want you
For the rest of space and time
When all is said and done
I hope you are the last one
When all is said and done
I know you are the last one
