lyrics
That’s just how it is, a long dark night,
until you find someone that’s right.
I need you here, though most of the time I’m a mess, I know.
A singer at a halftime show.
I’m in too deep, well, probably.
And I can’t sleep, these lists haunting me.
For the ways and means to build a new life without modern cons.
It’s not easy watching your life roll on.
But I still want you around me, so I won’t ever run from you.
The way that you found me, means I’m forever tied to you.
And I’ve got all I need, well, probably.
But that won’t stop the criticising.
Forgive me please, when I get distracted by making gold
And all my vices take control.
But I still want you around me, so I won’t ever run from you.
The way that you found me, means I’m forever tied to you.
The light that surrounds you, means I won’t ever tire of you.
The way that you found me, means I’m forever tied to you.
I kept daydreaming like I’d cross the finish line
And all the sacrifice, I’d leave it all behind,
I suppose.
But I’ve been thinking about my life for a long, long time.
And I still can’t get it right.
And I’m always tearing myself down, for something I said long ago.
And you’re always kind when I need time.
But I’m never kind to myself.
You’re looking for the strength to carry.
I’ve been looking for the same all of my life.
You’re looking for the strength to carry,
This is the light when you are afraid of the dark.
You’re looking for someone to cling to
And I’m trying my best all of the time.
Keep holding my head underwater,
This is the night when I take control of my life.

The backing tracks on this album have seen serious improvement since Hatchie's debut, and the tracks have more variety. I'm not sure if there's been much improvement on the vocals, but overall this is a better (and longer!) showing from this artist. CyanStrawberry
