Pensive, hopeful indie pop. Warm synth bells open to melancholic male vocal, with rising percussion and reflective piano chords. Gradually builds towards dreamlike chorus with soft strings and distant guitar, featuring instrumental middle 8 with electronic vocal textures; 120 bpm
VERSE 1
It’s been hard work for the lovers
It’s been tough for you kid
and you’re down, lights out and you’re bleeding out
you doubt you could love again
oh you’re waiting
are we wasting?
are we hopeless fools at heart?
how you listen, dare to listen
as the best things fall apart
CHORUS
i said i wouldn’t miss you
but you know thats just a lie
I could go on living, live another thousand lives
I don’t want to give up I still love it when we talk
I did something stupid, bad enough to make you walk
i said i wouldn’t miss you
but you know thats just a lie
I could go on living, live another thousand lives
but I don’t want to give up I still love it when we talk
cos I lied to you
VERSE 2
It’s been hard work for the lovers
It’s been tough through the years
When you fear time’s up and you’re feeding doubt
When you’re lost/last, you can never win
Am I waiting ?
Am I wasting?
Was it hopeless from the start
Did I listen?
I never listen, as the best things fall apart
CHORUS
i said i wouldn’t miss you
but you know thats just a lie
I could go on living, live another thousand lives
I don’t want to give up I still love it when we talk
I did something stupid, bad enough to make you walk
i said i wouldn’t miss you
but you know thats just a lie
I could go on living, live another thousand lives
but I don’t want to give up I still love it when we talk
cos I lied to you
