[Verse 1]
I remember everything
So I can't take back anything
Unless that’s how I'm meant to feel
Find myself a better deal
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So maybe
I better tie this up
I bet it all goes wrong
[Chorus 1]
Do what they say, say, say
Could do with a drop of rain
I know when it's not ok
Can't keep my head down
Don't like
Whenever I'm not in pain
[Verse 2]
Peeling back not noticing
The blood and bones beneath my skin
Feelings that we can't compare
Taking chances anywhere
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So maybe
I can't care too much
I can't clean this up
[Chorus 2]
Do what they say, say, say
Could do with a drop of rain
I know when it's not ok
Can't keep my head down
Don't like
Whenеver I'm not in pain
Whenevеr I try complain
To you we are all the same
Can't keep my mouth shut this time
Is that what they say, say, say
[Bridge]
Love is raised by common thieves
Hiding diamonds up their sleeves
Always I did it for you
Never felt so sure
You're my best machine
You're my midnight sun
Always I did it for you
[Verse 3]
I remembered every line
If we go through it one more time
So show me how to split the real
Get me off this spinning wheel
[Pre-Chorus 3]
So baby
I better turn this up
I hope it drowns you out
[Chorus 3]
It that why they say, say, say
Could do with a drop of rain
It's that why it's so mundane?
Can't keep my eyes closed, too long
Whenever I'm not in pain
Whenever I try explain
To you, we are not the same
Can’t keep my hands up far from
Is that why they say, say, say?
[Bridge]
Love is raised by common thieves
Hiding diamonds up their sleeves
Always I did it for you
Never felt so sure
You're my best machine
You're my midnight sun
Always I did it for you
[Bridge]
Love is raised by common thieves
Hiding diamonds up their sleeves
Always I did it for you
Never felt so sure
You're my best machine
You're my midnight sun
Always I did it for you

It’s a song about recognizing what it feels like to be pushed down but wanting to resist. I really like the imagery of ‘midnight sun’ as a lyric as it insinuates a light guiding you through darkness. The wings carry their own symbolism — freedom, lightness, flight, fantasy. If I could pick what peop...
I was digging into more of an overall feeling and a mood. I feel like it’s a song about confidence and finding your own voice in order to speak up, whether that’s about your own feelings or bigger issues: ‘I can’t keep my mouth shut this time. I can’t keep my head down. I’m not going along with this...
