I wrote this song at 5am during a Harry Potter marathon. It’s about wanting to be in a relationship but also trying to deal with negative situations, the feeling of irreversibility and helplessness, mixed with the loneliness of being codependent and by yourself.
There's water on the window
I feel like I'm stuck in limbo
We ain't playing no games girl
This ain't no Nintendo
I'm no maniac
I'm no maniac
Yeah whenever I text you message back
I want a lover with strings attached
I'm not talking a puppet: Pinocchio
Oh
Lets take it
Slow
When will you
Show
Up
For me
For me
For me
Yeah ay
It's getting dark outside
Oh
Oh
It's getting
Uh
It's getting dark outside
Oh
I'm starting to see light
On the horizon
It is rising oh
We're outside
The campfires bright
I feel
The heat wash over my eyes as I
Start to cry
Denial in my
Mind
I
Wish I'd realise
It'll never be alright
Stars won't realign
I am out of time
Memories are fine
But they don't define
Who I am as a person
Hope it was worth it d**
Tears stay on the surface
But the pain it worsens oh
There's water on the window
I feel like I'm stuck in limbo
We ain't playing no games girl
This ain't no Nintendo
I'm no maniac
I'm no maniac
Yeah whenever I text you message back
I want a lover with strings attached
I'm not talking a puppet: Pinocchio
Oh
Lets take it
Slow
When will you
Show
Up
For me
For me
For me
Yeah ay
