Sunburnt Shoulders

(Album: St. Leonards - 2018)

Stop bringing it round' here I'm
I'm turning the tables as I should
And I don't know what I want now
I thought I gave my heart away for good

In a blur in a tiny house in Stockholm
I don't know if you know
But I'm just flesh and bone

And I feel what I feel
The remorse at my heels
I don't want to be your anchor
We have both danced with cancer, right

Stop bringing it round' here I'm
I'm isolated and it feels good
I think I know what we got here
Somebody is tapping into
A childhood in a boys' home in Broadie
Where you're lining up and thinking
Wishing someone adopts me

And I see, what it is
You have grown, with a twist
Pushing up towards the light
Despite, everything

So you crawl up to someone
Who is loving, sends you blushing
So who am I? I'm a cop out
I don't deserve your concern
I got so much to learn

I don't know what I want now
I don't know what I want now

And I'm biting off my tongue
With one foot in the resolve
We are constantly
Recycling the skins we shed off
And I'm trying to stay pinned
With my arms in the fall
Swear you won't hear a thing
When I walk through your door
Not a thing

I'm not hanging from a halo
I'd just like to catch a break you know
I'm not hanging from a halo
I'd just like to catch a break you know

I'm not hanging from a halo
I'd just like to catch a break you know
I'm not hanging from a halo
I'd just like to catch a break you know
