What If You Hypnotise Me?

[Verse 1: Sampha]
If you could gift my feelings language
Speech is a necessary magic sometimes
Please articulate my anguish
Please explain to me why these raindrops accompany better times, yeah

[Chorus: Sampha]
If you could make all the
If you could, make the
What if, what if, what ifs
Just fly away for a minute, mm
If you could make all the
If you could, make the
What if, what if, what ifs
Just fly away for a minute, mm

[Verse 2: Sampha]
(I remember) Angels weeping at my bad habits
(I remember) Swan matches and smoke dancing on the window pane
(Ex-ex-expand on that, that’s interesting though)
(What else do you remember?)
(I remember) Thinking until my thoughts got damaged
(I remember) Someone said you could help find my thoughts a name
(Psycho-ana-, hypno-thera-, uh, could you find my thoughts for me?)

[Bridge: Sampha]
Is it that I need some love, love of the selfish kind?
Is it that I need to know what's in the depth of mind?
Indeed if I do find out, would I just stay confined?
Wishful thinking games, wait 'til the stars align
Is it 'cause memories break, why I feel lost in time?
Is it 'cause I've made mistakes, karma taking flight?
But if you could hypnotise me
Then maybe, then peace would find me
Oh, if you could hypnotise me
Then maybe, then peace would find—

[Chorus: Sampha]
If you could make all the
If you could, make the
What if, what if, what ifs
Just fly away for a minute, mm
If you could make all the
If you could, make the
What if, what if, what ifs
Just fly away for a minute, mm

[Outro: Léa Sen]
Quiet storms dwelling on what you're not
I'll help you find a way out
Easily swayed, you're not cautious enough
Who made you this way?
Travelling inside your confine
Traffic in your heart and your mind
The spirit of your memory's gone blind
There’s answers in your body entwined
