Tom Odell - Wrong Crowd Album Lyrics

Wrong Crowd

And my mother is standing beside me
As I'm packing my bags in the car
She says please boy no more fighting
Oh it's only gonna do you harm

But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd

Ohhhhhhh my boy

And my brother is standing behind me
As I'm slowly going out my head
He says you know those people don't like me
Why d'you wanna be one of them.

But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd

Ohhhhh I wish I could find somebody
That my mother would like
Oh I wish I can find somebody
That could treat me right

But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd
But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd
But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd
But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging round with the wrong crowd

Magnetised

See those birds going across the sky
Three thousand miles they fly
How do they know which way to go?
Somehow they always seem to know
They say there's mother nature in everything we see
Wish I had a little mother nature in me
Wish I had a little mother nature in me

Cause it's not right, I'm magnetised
To somebody that don't feel it
Love paralyzed, she's never gonna need me
But sure as the world keeps the moon in the sky
She'll keep me hanging on
She keeps me hanging on

See the couple lying on the bus
Falling asleep with so much trust
I wish I had a chance to let them know
Their love is like a flower in the snow
If it's just pheromones then that may be
I wish you had a little pheromones for me
I wish you had a little pheromones for me

Cause it's not right, I'm magnetised
To somebody that don't feel it
Love paralyzed, I know you're never gonna need me
I'm sure as the world keeps the moon in the sky
She'll keep me hanging on (keeps me hanging on)
She keeps me hanging on (keeps me hanging on)
She keeps me hanging on

North to south, white to black
When you love someone that don't love you back

Yeah it's not right, I'm magnetised
To somebody that don't feel it
Love paralyzed, she's never gonna need me
But sure as the world keeps the moon in the sky
She'll keep me hanging on (keep me hanging on)
She'll keep me hanging on (keep me hanging on)
She'll keep me hanging on (keep me hanging on)
She'll keep me hanging on

Concrete

Got me in my hotel room
More pillows I could ever use
I think they call it luxury
But it doesn't make a difference to me

Cause I'd sleep on a bed that's made of concrete
Just the two of us and no sheet
Just your feet rubbing up against my

Staring at the picture on the wall
Yeah it's pretty clever but, it's got no soul
Show me your masterpiece
And it wouldn't make difference to me

Cause I'd sleep on a bed that's made of concrete
Just the two of us and no sheet
Just your feet rubbing up against my
Oh rubbing up against my
Oh rubbing up against my
Oh rubbing up against my

I see all these aeroplane's
But I just wanna walk
Baby, it's happening
But I just wanna talk
So baby won't you come back
Oh I need something real

I'd sleep on a bed that's made of concrete
Just the two of us and no sheet's
Just your feet rubbing up against my
I'd sleep on a bed that's made of concrete
Just the two of us and no sheet
Just your feet rubbing up against my
Oh rubbing up against my
Oh rubbing up against my
Rubbing up against my
Rubbing up against my

Constellations

Sat around the table, the candle lying low
There's people all around us but they're leaving you alone
You're telling me a story, some lover that you had
Go on tell me now, tell me now, I think I'll understand

The piano man is playing some old melody
It don't mean much to anyone while it does to you and me
It's just some bitter love song that everybody's heard
I'm gonna sing it out, sing it out, sing every single word

It's the same old constellation
The stars up in the sky
Yeah, I've got a feeling
They're gonna look different tonight

Maybe I'm just crazy, maybe I'm just high
You could kiss my lips a thousand times and they would never dry
I don't know where you're going, hey, never stray too far
Cause I'll tell you now, I'll tell you now, I like you just the way you are

It's the same old constellation
The stars up in the sky
Yeah, I've got a feeling
They're gonna look different tonight

It's the same old situation
That you can have with any guy
But go on put your arms around me
It's gonna be different tonight

Caroline, Caroline, I used to act so strong
But I was just terrified, terrified, I feel it in my stomach
Call 'em butterflies, butterflies, there's something in the air tonight
They're gone, they're gone, they're gone

It's the same old constellation
The stars up in the sky
But you know I've got a feeling
They're gonna look different tonight

It's the same old conversation
You can have it anytime
Go on put your arms around me, baby
It's gonna be different tonight

Sparrow

Why sparrow why, won't you tell me why I'm sad
Sing us both a melody, the best that you can
Fly sparrow fly, won't you sit on my hand
Sing it in that language we both can understand

When you sit on that tree
You look in my eyes
I wonder what goes on in your mind

Speak sparrow speak please won't you try
Tell me why you'd walk if you knew that you could fly
Speak sparrow speak oh please won't you try
Tell me all the answers to this meaningless life

But you're up on that tree
And you look in my eyes
I wonder what goes on in your mind

Stay, sparrow stay, won't you stay in my window
I've never been so close to anything so beautiful
Wait, sparrow wait, oh please don't you go
I love the way I felt as the, vast the wind it blows

But you're up on that tree
And you look in my eyes
I wonder what goes on in your mind

Sing, sparrow sing, sing away the pain
When you get to the bones of it, we are just the same
I said sing sparrow sing, sing away our pain
I'll never hear a melody as sweet as today

Cause you're up in that tree
And you look in my eyes
And I wonder how, but you're saying goodbye

Still Getting Used To Being On My Own

When I'm playing the piano, singing out of tune
The person I picture in my head has always been you
But these days are different, you're with some other guy
Stubbornly I still write every word as if you're still mine

And people think I'm crazy, people think I'm stoned
But I'm just getting used to being on my own

When it's cold and it's raining, I'm laying there at night
I don't lay in the middle of the bed, no I lay on the right
And I keep the lights on, the phone up all night
The key underneath the stone outside in case you come around

And people say I'm crazy, people say I'm stoned
But I'm just getting used to being on my own

If I could still feel you laying in my arms
Why can't I pretend? Oh, it does me no wrong

But people call me I'm crazy, people say I'm stoned
But I'm just getting used to being on my own
And people call me I'm crazy but baby they don't know
I'm just getting used to being on my own
I'm just getting used to being on my own
On my own, on my own

Silhouette

I keep waking at night in the freezing cold
Staring at the shadows coming up the walls
Giving me a feeling I can't define

"Is there anyone there?" I say to the dark
But all I get back is a beating heart
Going out of rhythm and I realize

Oh, something's changed
Oh, something's changed

It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds
It's just a mind trick, I don't know why
But it reminds me of someone that I used to know
All that I can't forget, is every night right beside me
I open my eyes and it reminds me
I should have never let you go

Look up there don't you see her face
That familiar heart, that familiar shape
Are giving me a feeling, I can't define

Oh, something's changed
Oh, something's changed

It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds
It's just a mind trick, I don't know why
But it reminds me of someone that I used to know
All that I can't forget, is every night right beside me
I open my eyes and it reminds me
I should have never let you go

I wanna put my arms around you
Tell everyone I found you
But you're just a shadow in my mind

You know you've got me so enchanted
Why you gotta be cold-heart
Dancing on your own in the cold streetlight

It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds
It's just a mind trick, I don't know why
But it reminds me of someone that I used to know
All that I can't forget, is every night right beside me
I open my eyes and it reminds me
I should have never let you go

Jealousy

Yesterday was awful, you know what I mean
Yesterday was awkward, you could probably see
I didn't mean to hold you, or gain your sympathy
That's my jea-, my jealousy

Yesterday I was stupid and I shouldn't have been
Cause yesterday you loved me and I didn't see
All this time you had, put up with me
My jea-, my jealousy

Cause I never believed from the day that I met you
A loser like me could ever get you
When we go out I hear people saying,
"what's that beautiful girl doing with him"
I'm sorry that I'm sometimes so insecure,
with every day I grow a little more sure of your love

But yesterday my worries got the best of me
Well, yesterday I'm sorry that I didn't see
I think you'll go you know, oh eventually
My jea-, my jealousy
My jea-, my jealousy

Never let me go
I said never let me go

Daddy

Keep waking up in the freezing cold
Of your mother's tears coming through the walls
That same old feeling spinning 'round your head
Your daddy's leaving town again

And you can hear your baby sister scream
Your innocence get up and leave
It's that same old feeling spinning 'round your veins
Your daddy's leaving town again

And again, and again

And I blame myself for I do
And I blame myself for I do
And I blame myself, yeah it's true
Oh, for you

Keep waking on the bedroom floor
Seeing shadows underneath your door
It's that same old feeling spinning 'round your head
When your daddy's leaving town again
And again and again

And I blame myself for I do
And I blame myself for I do
Oh I blame myself, so it's true
Oh, for you

Here I Am

I thought I was over you
I'd put out the flame
Said tonight would be different
I wouldn't need to play your games
I walked past your tower block
Saw her flicking the blinds
I said tonight would be different
And that I'd walk on by

But here I am
Running up the seventh floor
Knocking the eleventh door
I'm a sick of trying
I'm a sick of trying
Baby could you love me some more

Baby could you love me some more

Told myself I's a prisoner
And I'd broken my chains
That I could be anyone
I'd run a thousand miles away
And I imagined America
Somewhere as far
Someplace with no memories
That couldn't cut my heart

But here I am
Running up the seventh floor
Knocking the eleventh door
I'm a sick of trying
I'm a sick of trying
Baby could you love me some more
Baby could you love me some more
Baby could you love me some more
Baby could you love me some more

Cause I'm going out my head here darling, going out my head here darling,
Going out my head here darling, going out my head

But here I am
Running up the seventh floor
Knocking the eleventh door
Saying what I said before
Baby could you love me some more
Baby could you love me some more

Going out my head here darling, I'm going out my head.

Somehow

I don't speak the language that you speak
There're"‹ some words I know I'll never reach
But when I see you smiling back at me

Somehow, somehow
I know exactly what you mean
Somehow, somehow
I know exactly what you mean, oh

When you look, when you look a little hurt
Sometimes I sing a song that I have learnt
I swear to God there's no way you could've heard

But somehow, somehow
You sing every single word
Somehow, somehow
You sing every single word, oh

Sometimes I go running in the dark
When I don't know how to read the stars
But where I run, it don't matter how far

Somehow, somehow
I always end up in your arms
Somehow, somehow
I always end up in your arms, oh

Somehow, somehow
Somehow, somehow

No, I don't know what happens when you die
And just the thought, you know, it kind of blows my mind
But when I look, when I look up to the sky

Somehow, somehow
I know that it will be alright
Somehow, somehow
I know that you will be beside, oh

She Don't Belong To Me

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

My lover wears a t-shirt as she wanders
My lover wears a t-shirt as she wanders
My lover wears a t-shirt as she wanders
My lover wears a t-shirt as she wanders down the lanes
Stepping over cracks of all the worlds that she could save
As I begin to wonder will I ever be enough
Her hand, it slips away from mine along with all the love

Rhymes
The rhythm of her heart
Rhythm of her heart
Rhythm of her heart

My-y-y wander it could be
Like a feather blowing in the wind, she don't belong to me
My-y-y how happy we could be
Like a feather blowing in the wind, she don't belong to me

She let's you in her bed at night and keeps you from the cold
No matter how hard you hold her yeah, you always wake alone
Like the sun, she lights you up and everyone around
But sure as hell that sun will set, she'll always let you down

Rhymes
The rhythm of her heart
Rhythm of her heart
Rhythm of her heart

My-y-y wander it could be
Like a feather blowing in the wind, she don't belong to me
My-y-y how happy we could be
Like a feather blowing in the wind, she don't belong to me

Yeah, yeah
No no, she don't
No no, she don't
Yeah
She don't
No no, she don't
No no, she don't
Yeah

You'll see, you'll see
You'll see anything she wants
You'll pray, you'll pray
You'll pray that she take you home
You'll see, you'll see
You'll see anything she wants
You'll see, you'll see, you'll see

My-y-y how happy we could be (you'll see)
Like a feather blowing in the wind, she don't belong to me
My-y-y how happy we could be (you'll see)
Like a feather blowing in the wind, she don't belong to me
Yeah

Mystery

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

I found these days the things you say are so frustrating
Always asking where we're going
Release the handle bars, the wheels will start to roll
Who knows just what we'll find

What happens to you? What happens to me?
Who knows which way the wind will blow
Baby, it's a mystery
I don't know cause I can't see
There's no point even talking about
It's a mystery
But I can say without a doubt
I want you right now

When you look at me, I see you contemplating
If I'm gonna break your heart
I'm twenty-four, I'm pretty sure I'll want you when you're eighty
But who wants to see that far?

What happens to you? What happens to me?
Who knows which way the wind will blow
Baby, it's a mystery

I don't know cause I can't see
There's no point even talking about
It's a mystery
But I can say without a doubt
I want you right now

It don't matter how much you try to scheme and plan
Too many things, my love, that are out of our hands

What happens to you? What happens to me?
Who knows which way the wind will blow
Baby, it's a mystery
I don't know cause I can't see
There's no point even talking about
It's a mystery
But I can say without a doubt
I want you right now

I want you right now

Entertainment

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

Stick me up on channel two
Pourin' out my heart for you
It's a funny thing but it pays my rent
I'm just the entertainment

Bring me in from the cold rain
I play a couple notes in exchange
But I'm just the entertainment
I'm just the entertainment

I sing, I dance, but boy I entertain you
Hum, hum, hum, hum

Last night I lost my head
I found it in some woman's bed
I asked her what it all meant
She said 'I'm just the entertainment'

So if you feel like having a time
Maybe drink a bottle of wine
Come on down bring all your friend
I'll be your entertainment, I'll be your entertainment

I sing, I dance, and boy I entertain you
Hum, hum, hum, hum
Hum, hum, hum, hum

I Thought I Knew What Love Was

(Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

I thought it was easy
I thought you could choose
I thought that if you tried hard
Then you couldn't lose
I thought it was pleasure
I thought it was pure

Oh I thought I knew what love was
'till I met you
Oh I thought I thought I knew what love was
'till I met you

It's more like a storm
No, you wanted some more
Oh I thought I knew what love was
'till I felt yours

Thought it was simple
Thought we on track
I thought if you kept on giving
Then you'd get it back
I thought it was spoiled
But I guess I was wrong

Oh I thought I knew what love was
'till you were gone
Oh I thought I knew what love was
'till you were gone

It's sweet and it's stone cold
And it's cruler than cruel
It's long and it's harder
And it don't got no rules

Oh I thought I knew what love was
'till I met you
Oh I thought I knew what love was
'till I met you
