Ten Leaf Clover

(album: St. Leonards - 2018)

Dancing through, catcalls in the night
In king hit central, like a broken kite
We were soaking wet, then we caught on fire
Blue electricity between two wires

So kiss and tell me, where were you, when I had hope
16 and blue
It's just like a blanket, all this growing old
Complain about the shivering then you miss the cold

It's a chemical that I'd like to lose
I keep on dreaming that I'll wake up dead to you
So now to try and get away from the sleep
We're up-lit from our phones in the backseat

Only you

This conversation is a currency
I've given way too much, I'm too close to see
You know what I like, you know what I hate
But the best intentions make the worst mistakes

And I know you're thinking that I'm full of lies
But when the sunlight hits you, yeah it hits you just blind
The chip on your shoulder, all the little false alarms
I'm telling you they're perfect right here under my arm

It's a chemical that I'd like to lose
I keep on dreaming that I'll wake up dead to you
So now to try and get away from the sleep
We're up-lit from our phones in the backseat

Only you
It's what I do
Only you

But it's just like us to be fucking 'round
I look right at you then back at the ground
Just when I thought it's all over
I found myself a ten leaf clover

I found myself a ten leaf clover
I found myself a ten leaf clover

Only you

Only you
