I can't get you out of my mind.
You know that it won't last.
I know that it won't last.
I just see your smile.
Can't we pretend that this will last?
And when we're done there will be something left?
I can't get you out of my mind.

Paris (Tout Seul)

And I didn't want to go alone. I wanted a companion, I wanted to share experiences with someone. Even my brother would be good company; I know he would appreciate it, I know that he would have liked to join me.
But I wanted you to take pictures with. I wanted you to walk through museums with. I wanted you to share the best vegan food with. I wanted you to play body Tetris on the overnight bus to Paris.
And now I'm talking to strangers in a language I don't really know. And I'm wanting to invite them to places I don't want to visit alone.
And she says, "I should probably stop staring like this" and she says, "France is homophobic" and she says, "Non-gendered pronouns are hard to implement." She says "I think it's funny you have vegan sausage in your pocket."
But I wanted you to take pictures with. I wanted you to walk through museums with. I wanted you to share the best vegan food with. I wanted you to play body Tetris on the overnight bus to Paris.
And now I'm talking to strangers in a language I don't really know. And I'm wanting to invite them to places I don't want to visit alone.
But you probably already know. Yeah, you probably already know that I don't want to be here alone, tout seul.

Riverside

We'll take a walk by the riverside and I'll reveal what's been on my mind. You probably won't be surprised by what I'm trying to say. I need to know all of the facts to make an informed decision, but even when you know what's best it doesn't mean that you'll listen.
And I, I shouldn't have kissed you. And I, I knew it from the moment I met you, but I just can't resist you. And now the damage is done.
These words overflow like the Wear when it rains and it makes this path harder to navigate. It's a cyclical process, one I just can't escape, where the words that I mean aren't the ones that I say.
And I, I shouldn't have kissed you. And I, I knew it from the moment I met you, but I just can't resist you. And now the damage is done.

She looked at me like she wanted to get to know me better. I didn't know her name, but I wanted to get a little closer. We talked for hours and eventually I went and kissed her. It was everything I thought it would be until she turned to me and said something I couldn't understand, but I knew it was the end.
Even in my sleep those I want just don't want me. Even in my dreams my love life continues to be unlucky.
This time I knew you in real life, you had been sleeping by my side, but every time I closed my eyes you were always kissing someone better. You could when we were apart, when I could hide my jealous heart. But you chose to take me out and I when I turned around you were kissing someone else.
Even in my sleep those I want just don't want me. Even in my dreams my love life continues to be unlucky.

Colours

A colour for a lover, seems like a fair trade. I'm only counting down the days, for this all to cave, for you to call me up and say that you don't love me anymore.
The snow falls the heaviest on lonely days, sounds of winds and whistles blowing each way. Blurring my vision of a love far away, despite the efforts otherwise the hope still remains.
I call each night to hear your voice, maybe then I'll feel at ease. The voices in my head calm down only to grow the need that I feel lying in my bed while a storm brews outside, before my dreams take me somewhere else, somewhere uncharted and wild.
Without a map I guide myself to places new to me. Where I may just find happiness or a reason to believe, or a reason to stay, or a reason to sleep.
