About

In 2014, this song was played during a soundcheck. When the song leaked online, Dan asked it to be taken down because the song was not finished yet. After a very long silence, and speculation, Dan cleared it up a little by tweeting:

Oil on Water Lyrics

[Intro]
*gasp*

[Verse 1]
So her fingers ran away with themselves
Till everything was documented
Her mind it was reaching out
To put into words what their bodies had done

[Chorus]
They lie together — oil on water
And they lie upon her, someone's daughter

[Verse 2]
It's a catalogue of modern mistakes
Her words and legs wrapped around each man
Leaving stories like digital crumbs
As she turns these nights into literature

[Chorus]
They lie together — oil on water
And they lie upon her, someone's daughter

[Interlude]
*gasp*

[Verse 3]
When they leave, she sets about writing down
Awkward body games all over town
Warm affection runs through every word
We're screens away, but we're laughing with her

[Chorus]
They lie together — oil on water
Oh, they lie upon her, someone's daughter

[Outro]
They lie upon her, oil on water
