Luke Hemmings - Boy Album Lyrics

I sat in the driveway, but I can't go in
The green fence's faded and it's sinking in
I wish I was younger so I knew the end
I'd move to Orlando and I'd be your friend

I tore you apart to put me back again
This time zone's a bastard, and I'm wearing thin
You still ain't Chicago, the things that I miss
I can't have tequila without half a gram

It was alright before I got angry
Made a fist-holed shape in the wall

I'm still your boy
I'm still your boy

Take it all apart and it's not so bad
And I don't know what's worse, but I can't go back

'Cause I can't be without you
I'd fall in the void
I can't dance around it
I'd better be yours
I still ain't Chicago, the things that I miss
I can't have tequila without half a gram

It was alright before I got empty
Made a mess of the room in your heart

I'm still your boy
I'm still your boy

I want it so bad, I want it so bad, I want it so bad
I want it so bad, I want it so bad, I want it so bad
I want it so bad, I want it so bad, I want it so bad
I want it so bad, I want it so bad, I want it so bad
I want it so bad, I want it so bad, I want it so bad
I want it so bad, I want it so bad, I want it so bad

Lost in the morning, time starts to crawl
Can we share the lonely if my heart is small?
Your touch is deadly and I wanna call
Is it better to feel this or feel nothing at all?

Honey, I just wanna be yours
Wanna be yours
Inside your dreams tonight
Oh no, oh no
Can't shake this feeling
Boy, I just wanna be yours
Wanna be yours
Inside your dreams tonight
Oh no, oh no
Can't shake this feeling

Shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake

I feel it coming, my blood is wine
Oh, I can't help but chase you
My butterfly
I wanna go out in my sleep now
So I don't feel no pain
The city tends to move on all the same

Honey, I just wanna be yours
Wanna be yours
Inside your dreams tonight
Oh no, oh no
Can't shake this feeling
Boy, I just wanna be yours
Wanna be yours
Inside your dreams tonight
Oh no, oh no
Can't shake this feeling

Shake, shake, shake
Shake, shake, shake

I just want to be, I just want to be (shake, shake, shake)
Yours (shake, shake, shake)
I just want to be, I just want to be (shake, shake, shake)
Yours (shake, shake, shake)

Honey, I just wanna be yours
Wanna be yours
Inside your dreams tonight
Oh no, oh no
Can't shake this feeling
Boy, I just wanna be yours
Wanna be yours
Inside your dreams tonight
Oh no, oh no
Can't shake this feeling

Watching from the outside
Should I be on a plane back home?
Sentimental landslide
And I don't have the time to go
Will I be saying goodbye
From a dark hotel room?
Living on the sidelines
What am I supposed to do?

I set myself on fire to keep you warm (I'd set myself)
I set myself on fire to keep you warm
What if I never knew you, Benny? (I keep closing doors)
What if I never knew you, Benny, Benny?
I set myself on fire to keep you warm, keep you warm

I can see you in photos
That's where I wanna be
In the face of a stranger
The guilt is all I can see
Am I being too cold?
Is this all I can be?
I just want you to know

I set myself on fire to keep you warm (I'd set myself)
I set myself on fire to keep you warm
What if I never knew you, Benny? (I keep closing doors)
What if I never knew you, Benny, Benny?
I set myself on fire to keep you warm, keep you warm

What if I never knew?
What if I never knew you, Benny?
What if I never knew you, Benny?

Don't be sad
In the middle
Whole life with no time to mourn
Watch it die
In the mirror
Don't cry
It won't be long

Feel as your eyes get heavy
From looking at what you want
Need something to break the levy
The overflow in my heart

Now I don't want to close my eyes
See everything I've ever done
I never got to say goodbye
I won't look back until it's gone
Everything that I tried to bury
And all the little deaths that set me off
I can't close my eyes (close my eyes)

Romanticize a dark city
You can't find the light in the sun
If I don't feel the same, please, forgive me
You have arrived with no time to run

Quiet, desperate all the people
Hiding in your garden
Crying, where is the time I lost?

Now I don't want to close my eyes
See everything I've ever done
I never got to say goodbye
I won't look back until it's gone
Everything that I tried to bury
And all the little deaths that set me off
I can't close my eyes (close my eyes)

Quiet, desperate all the people
Hiding in your garden
Crying, where is the time I lost?

You were a pillow
I was the dark room
It's ones and zeros
Yet life in full bloom

You shape the feeling
I just mould around you
It's so dark and dreary
Please find the sun soon

You left a dent inside my soul
I know, I know
I'm on the edge, where do I go? Ooh

I feel most alive
Staring out your window
It's a garden life
You are the weeping willow
And I am alcohol
Swimming through your system
Lulling you to sleep
On and on we dream

What comes after me?
What comes after me?

My eyes are filming
Turn off the evening news
The train is leaving
Won't wait for you

It's a short buzz
For a long night
It's a lifetime
I can't watch you cry

I feel most alive
Staring out your window
It's a garden life
You are the weeping willow
And I am alcohol
Swimming through your system
Lulling you to sleep
On and on we dream

What comes after me? (We can't stay forever)
What comes after me? (We can't stay forever)
What comes after me? (We can't stay forever)
What comes after me? (We can't stay forever)
What comes after me? (We can't stay forever)

You left a dent inside my soul, ooh (we can't stay forever)
I'm on the edge, where do I go?
What comes after me? (We can't stay forever)

I don't know what to say
I want to be the last dream inside your head
Time is running away
As I watch Los Angeles from bed

When life is nothing but pain
I wanna be the white lines inside your face
Think you're more than a friend
Can you drive me home?

Now I'm falling apart again
Now I'm falling apart again
I just wanna be close enough to feel you
But the pain is so familiar
Now I'm falling apart again
Now I'm falling apart again
I just wanna be close enough to feel you
But the pain is so familiar
Now I'm falling apart again
Apart again (apart again)
Now I'm falling apart

I don't want to be here
As I close my eyes, the canyon steers
Think I'm losing the year
As you turn and say

Honey, this is a good life
Do you see it?
I can see me in your eyes
Do you mean it?

Now I'm running under water
I can't make a sound
It's drowning, it's drowning me out

But now I'm falling apart again
Now I'm falling apart again
I just wanna be close enough to feel you
But the pain is so familiar
Now I'm falling apart again
Now I'm falling apart again
I just wanna be close enough to feel you
But the pain is so familiar
Now I'm falling apart, apart again

Now I'm running under water
I can't make a sound
I'm running under water
It's drowning me out
Apart, apart again

Now I'm running under water
I can't make a sound
I'm running under water

Now I'm falling apart again, apart again
Now I'm falling apart again
This life is so familiar, falling apart

We fell in love in the city
I'd never seen it this cold
She said, "I hate how you're living"
Then pushed me against the wall

No, I don't want to leave
It's a damn cold night
And I don't want to sleep
Oh, just tell me it's too late to drive

Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight with you?
Stay here (I've made too many promises)
Stay here (don't make too many promises)
Stay here (you make it hard to be alone), here

I wasn't always a cynic
It's just I've been bought and sold
But you saw the beauty inside it
At twenty-seven years old

No, I don't want to leave
It's a damn cold night
No, I don't want to sleep
Oh, just tell me it's too late to drive

Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight with you?
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight?
Can I stay here tonight with you?
Stay here (I've made too many promises)
Stay here (don't make too many promises)
Stay here (you make it hard to be alone), here

It's the promises
We break 'em every time
And every consequence
We kiss between the lines
And do it all again
I guess I just feel better around you

It's the promises
We make 'em every time
And every word that you said
I hang on every line
I'd do it all again
I guess I just feel better around you
