Dancing days
Feel the sunlight on my spine
Giving in
Throwing away my time
Unmoving
Tangled up in sheets
I lay down, stay down
Time’s running away from me
And although
My head’s a maze
It feels better
When I’m dancing in
Summer days
Scared that I’ll run out of time
To live my life
Spent too many days
Staring up at the sky
And I may never know
What I could do with lost time
When I
Was too busy dancing
Endorphins
Keep me inside
Doing the same things
Running with the tide
And although
My head it craves
Something bigger
I dance in lit up space
To feel better
I know
I can’t do this forever
Gotta keep myself moving on
My head’s a maze
It feels better when
I’m dancing in summer days
It feels lighter
When I’m dancing in flashing lights
When you’re
Holding me through the night
When I sit and clear my mind
When I’m wasting all my time
It feels better

Look Away

Take a look
New York’s burning
And no-one even hears me make a sound
They’re too tired
Too bored to notice
Headphones in
Running for the underground
They just
Look away look away look away
I turn around
Try and think of something cool to say
When they
Look away look away look away
I’m shining
And I’m not going back to life today
Fly out
Party in LA
I can live this
Everybody here is faking it
What’s your name?
What’s your pay grade?
I’m an heiress of nothing
Nothing
You need to know about

Overload

Overload
Tired eyes
I never want to hurt you
I can touch
Paradise
When I hold out my hands
It’s late
Stars are changing
Lights are fading
I wait
To see the moonlight on the roadside,
Lately
I don’t know where I’ve been
Not humble to think
We’re serving some kind of higher calling
Maybe we should
Take the world as it is
Blossom in pink
Close my eyes
And lift up my face

Dawn's Touch
03:10

Dusk's got a face full of flashing lights
She keeps my eyes wide open
Stars shine and twinkle in her dark blue nights
My unspoken thoughts float into her skies
My heart's alive
But my brain moves in slow-motion, hoping
Wherever I'm going next
They won't pave the streets with my regrets
I mean
I feel the time moves too quickly
Life's too busy
Take a moment to slow down
Days and nights blur into one
Not enough time to grow
To make the most of this right now
Please, give me time to think things through
Dawn's Touch gives me reason to wake up
She gets my blood pumping
Following the sun I don't know if that's enough
Want to reach out take her
Put her golden hair in my pocket, zip it up
Take a step in the wrong direction
Years could go by
Can't turn back the clock
Going nowhere, wasting time
Feels like I'm falling and it's not that easy to stop
Please, give me time to think things through

Love how dreamy and chilled out this album is! I've been into these kind of new wave garage sounds recently and you might hear some inspo in my new music later this year too...
