There are eighty-eight constellations That's what the internet says But it also claims there's one billion trillion stars I don't get how that makes sense A hundred thousand million twinkling lights And we only came up with eighty-eight ways To connect the dots, isn't that kinda lame Oh, we always had our names written in the stars Oh, who knows, maybe one of those constellations is ours We were lying underneath the lunar eclipse Oh, why'd that feel so short I kinda wanted to see more Now we're gonna have to wait another year At least I can be sure the time will go quick Cause I'll be yours (Oh, oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh) Two trillion galaxies And NASA's always finding more But we both ended up here Isn't it amazing we were born In the same year On this massive, floating, spinning sphere That's four and a half billion years old I think that's pretty bold Oh, we always had our names written in the stars Oh, who knows, maybe one of those galaxies could be ours We were lying underneath the lunar eclipse Oh, why'd that feel so short I kinda wanted to see more Now we're gonna have to wait another year At least I can be sure the time will go quick Cause I'll be yours School taught us the solar system But I never used to listen You'd already shown me the stars If they put a man on the moon Surely there is room for us too I say we go and claim it ours, oh We were lying underneath the lunar eclipse Oh, why'd that feel so short I kinda wanted to see more Now we're gonna have to wait another year At least I can be sure the time will go quick Cause I'll be yours (Oh, oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh, oh) (Oh, oh, oh) Lunar eclipse Oh, you lying next to me It's all I could ever dream

He said he's from out of town That his parents weren't around And he drove a chevy car I said let's disappear And no one has to know where we are Eyes like the blue sky And hair like the twilight There's no coming back from here I fear Oh, baby You look like a movie scene Picture a dark night Filled with neon lights From a film made back in '85 There's a little mystery But it's all fine with me Let's just kiss at every traffic light And pretend we're in 1985 Oh, woah, oh Pretend we're in 1985 He wears a gold chain Got his hand on my waist And the other on the wheel Street lights passing by No one else knows how it feels Back roads at midnight Him and the skyline He's bad, but we've passed no return I fear Oh, baby You look like a movie scene Picture a dark night Filled with neon lights From a film made back in '85 There's a little mystery But it's all fine with me Let's just kiss at every traffic light And pretend we're in 1985 Oh, woah, oh Pretend we're in 1985 People stare and wish they had What you and I share And when it's over I will haunt you like a ghost, 'cause People stare and wish they had What you and I share And when it's over I will haunt you like a ghost, 'cause Baby, you look like a movie scene Picture a dark night Filled with neon lights From a film made back in '85 There's a little mystery But it's all fine with me Let's just kiss at every traffic light And pretend we're in 1985 Oh, woah, oh Pretend we're in 1985 Oh, woah, oh Pretend we're in 1985

Phone screen, glowing Haven't left the house in about a week Started biting my nails out of spite Nineteen came a little fast How have all my friends got it figured out While I'm anxious, uptight And hate every word I write Save me, it's draining All this weight of expectations My brain is dissipated It's a little complicated Pixel perfect in the phone screen Pretty girls, why can't that be me Just fake it, till you make it No one wants to be outdated Eternally stressed out Wouldn't be surprised if my hair fell out Say I'm biding my time But it's passing me by It's poker, watch me draw my cards And everybody else will get a royal flush Fold, don't be bold Whoever made luck is a liar Save me, it's draining All this weight of expectations My brain is dissipated It's a little complicated Pixel perfect in the phone screen Pretty girls, why can't that be me Just fake it, till you make it No one wants to be outdated Boyfriends, college degrees Everyone's got things Everyone but me Scrolling through other's perfect lives And suddenly it feels like I'm a little behind Cause they've got city flats Fancy jobs and all If it's chess, they're kings I'm just a pawn I'm so sick of wanting more What did I sign up for Save me, it's draining All this weight of expectations My brain is dissipated It's a little complicated Pixel perfect in the phone screen Pretty girls, why can't that be me Just fake it, till you make it No one wants to be outdated Boyfriends, college degrees Everyone's got things Everyone but me Scrolling through other's perfect lives And suddenly it feels like I'm a little behind Cause they've got city flats Fancy jobs and all If it's chess, they're kings I'm just a pawn I'm so sick of wanting more What did I sign up for Phone screen, glowing Haven't left the house in about a week

ou heard I wasn't good with trust And you tricked me into thinking I could love again I was an open wound Now all you needed was the salt Foolish little me thought I was your queen Even though all of my friends warned me About your stolen stares at my crown While I wasn't looking And you held the dagger in your hand As you looked me in the eyes And plunged it straight into my chest And I know I left you no choice in the end So I guess that explains why the blood stained Both of our bare hands I only ever wanted to give you the world But all you ever wanted was to watch it burn You had a way of bending the truth Glossing over words where it benefits you And crossing your fingers As you said you gave me your word I used to hide a weapon up my sleeve But with you I never had to worry While I was tearing down my walls You were planning my fall I only ever wanted to give you the world But all you ever wanted was to watch it burn I wonder if we could go and relive our glory days Would there be a chance for anything we did to change Maybe you wouldn't have left me bleeding on the ground And hid the evidence And ran away to claim your crown And you were only hoping for a bit of sweet relief While I was fully convinced you and I were meant to be I ignored every sign And rose coloured your every lie When you were never even mine I only ever wanted to give you the world But all you ever wanted was to watch it burn I only wanted to give you the world And now you'll watch me burn

Only came to this party cause I heard you were invited Put on my best outfit And I did my hair how you used to like it 'Come On Eileen' is playing as you make your way over You give me a hug and a smile Say 'it's been such a while', but your hand is holding hers You've been seeing each other for the better part of a year She seems kind, and has eyes that could make the ocean cry And her name is Evelyn I knew all of this before I came But I just wanted to see your face We don't talk much for the rest of the night You dance with her, and I watch from the sideline No force of gravity, or proximity Could make you notice me You've got a person who'll love you more than anything Standing across the room, watching you She paints your life But it's all black and white You deserve someone to show you every hue You've only known her for a year But we've been friends since we were kids There's things she'll never understand about you The way I do The way I could If this weren't a one-sided love Smell of cold night air and cigarette smoke As I leave through the front door Cause there's only so long I can bear to watch you Distracted by another Cause we never talk anymore You send letters to her And then ring me once every four months We were best friends Now we're more like lose threads Just hanging on to whatever's left So much misery, endless history Why won't you notice me You've got a person who'll love you more than anything Standing across the room, watching you She paints your life But it's all black and white You deserve someone to show you every hue You've only known her for a year But we've been friends since we were kids There's things she'll never understand about you The way I do The way I could And I know she brings you flowers everyday But they're the ones that you hate She doesn't know every song on your favourite mixtape The way I do The way I could If this weren't a one-sided love (Oh, oh oh) If this weren't a one-sided love (Oh, oh, oh) So go take your CD's And your faded blue jeans And the three sugars you always have Put in your coffee And go give it to her Every piece of your world That you used to share with me If our love's a dead end Why can't we still be friends I'm one call away Just ring me and say I'm sorry for leaving you behind How could I have ever been so blind You've got a person who'll love you more than anything Standing across the room, watching you She paints your life But it's all black and white You deserve someone to show you every hue You've only known her for a year But we've been friends since we were kids She'll never understand you The way I do The way I could And I know she brings you flowers everyday But they're the ones that you hate She doesn't know every song on your favourite mixtape The way I do The way I could If this weren't a one-sided love (The end)

about

my debut EP, 'every colour, every hue', out now !!!!

every song on this ep represents a distinctly different colour to me, hence the name. ‘lunar eclipse’ is the green song and feels like lying in a field on a summer afternoon, ‘1985’ is a deep blue midnight haze, and ‘outdated’ is a mixture of purple hues.

then there are two brand new songs i’ve never even posted online before. ‘watch it burn’ - the red, fiery, heartbreak song. and ‘one-sided love’, my personal favourite song i’ve ever written, a fusion of browns and tans to represent the melancholic feeling of unrequited love.

i’m so excited for you to finally hear it in its entirety. it’s been my dream for so unbelievably long to release an EP, and now it's finally here!! <3
