How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Can I wake you up?
Can I wake you up?
Is it late enough?

There's a story in which my eyes shut
Could you bag me up? [x6]

Bad Timing Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Can I have your wayward stare?
Never mind him calling you, just keep them there
Why do you keep me back?
With all your powers I am pushing at
No never can it be
these are the words that you once said to me
Why do you keep me back?
With all your powers I am pushing at
No I'm not home enough
then I get back and you have taken off
No never can it be,
I guess I'd like to think it was bad timing
Never mind him calling you, just keep them there
Why do you keep me back?
With all your powers I am pushing at
No never can it be
these are the words that you once said to me
Why do you keep me back?
With all your powers I am pushing at
No I'm not home enough
then I get back and you have taken off
No never can it be,
I guess I'd like to think it was bad timing
Your Eyes Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Nod my head so dumb with love
there's something else I'm dreaming of
Shut my eyes pretend it's there
keep me here, unaware
I would promise all I could
think about it afterward
Humor me just think it through
it's all I ever asked of you
Coming back
You come out and say the word
quick how all the tables turned
Hate that there's a space to fill
always have and always will
I'm there when your fingers snap
it's not where we left it at
I can see the love we trapped, coming back
Along the barren streets we slide, poke at any dirt we find
Magnify for us to see, then dig them up desperately
I would promise all I could, think about it afterward
Humor me just think it through, it's all I ever asked of you
there's something else I'm dreaming of
Shut my eyes pretend it's there
keep me here, unaware
I would promise all I could
think about it afterward
Humor me just think it through
it's all I ever asked of you
Coming back
You come out and say the word
quick how all the tables turned
Hate that there's a space to fill
always have and always will
I'm there when your fingers snap
it's not where we left it at
I can see the love we trapped, coming back
Along the barren streets we slide, poke at any dirt we find
Magnify for us to see, then dig them up desperately
I would promise all I could, think about it afterward
Humor me just think it through, it's all I ever asked of you
Lights Out, Words Gone Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned
These lies and made them all burn
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned
These lies and made them all burn
Can you feel the leeches bite
That boy that she took out tonight
He's brave and walking sure
Through all the spots you're working for
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned
These lies and made them all burn
When the light is out and words have gone
Let me be the one to try it on
[repeat]
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned
These lies and made them all burn
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned
These lies and made them all burn
Can you feel the leeches bite
That boy that she took out tonight
He's brave and walking sure
Through all the spots you're working for
Keep your old and wasted words
My heart is breaking like you heard
But the town has always turned
These lies and made them all burn
When the light is out and words have gone
Let me be the one to try it on
[repeat]
Take The Right One Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Go on my gun
stop you and carry on
You haven't been there
time to sell the rose around
she takes it now
You give it up
You'll steal this one, when all is over
You'll go and you can, see all you gave her
You'll flee the door, your eyes glowing
She's there but you can't, keep on going
Racing on
ties it up and moves along
You're waiting there
came into the room and then
You stare me down
you turn around
stop you and carry on
You haven't been there
time to sell the rose around
she takes it now
You give it up
You'll steal this one, when all is over
You'll go and you can, see all you gave her
You'll flee the door, your eyes glowing
She's there but you can't, keep on going
Racing on
ties it up and moves along
You're waiting there
came into the room and then
You stare me down
you turn around
Shuffle Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
The moment we forgot we were just good friends
I moved my arm her face went red again
one more bus home
another silent weekend
Said love was painted gold
like all things growing old
the paint peels and slowly falls
you already know
Looking out the glass
always sit together
we both know we could be someone better
not with our heads like London weather
Said love was painted gold
like all things growing old
the paint peels and slowly falls
you already know
I moved my arm her face went red again
one more bus home
another silent weekend
Said love was painted gold
like all things growing old
the paint peels and slowly falls
you already know
Looking out the glass
always sit together
we both know we could be someone better
not with our heads like London weather
Said love was painted gold
like all things growing old
the paint peels and slowly falls
you already know
Favourite Day Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
With our backs all turned to morning light
and all our timing gone
We can find some common surface
to put all our worries on
We can pour them out, or let them drip
then split them one by one
They can dry out, let them lie out
in the eyes of the morning sun
Don't stop waiting 'till you feel it all
When I left you weighing your choices up
and all the light had gone
You had tied the ends together
made them fight out all night long
Now the good half turns to what you had
the bad half's giving up
You can tear it out and bury it, put all your worries off
and all our timing gone
We can find some common surface
to put all our worries on
We can pour them out, or let them drip
then split them one by one
They can dry out, let them lie out
in the eyes of the morning sun
Don't stop waiting 'till you feel it all
When I left you weighing your choices up
and all the light had gone
You had tied the ends together
made them fight out all night long
Now the good half turns to what you had
the bad half's giving up
You can tear it out and bury it, put all your worries off
Still Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Held your standards close to heart
But late one night you threw them down
Simple promises you said you'd never break
But now you have
All throughout the morning though
I'm begging no
Your lips they stay perfectly still
Still... still...
Did he fill the empty spaces
Was he everything I'm not?
There's no force behind my mouth
But in just three words
He brings you down
There's a movement
Out the door
I swear but no
Your lips they stay perfectly still
Still... still... still...
But late one night you threw them down
Simple promises you said you'd never break
But now you have
All throughout the morning though
I'm begging no
Your lips they stay perfectly still
Still... still...
Did he fill the empty spaces
Was he everything I'm not?
There's no force behind my mouth
But in just three words
He brings you down
There's a movement
Out the door
I swear but no
Your lips they stay perfectly still
Still... still... still...
Beggars Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Your guard isn't on, your barriers open
Your words have now got, the whole town waiting
My army is down, my company old
And leaving, quiet and burned
those nights we sought all the words
And if I could have one more guardian on the wall
Riding a fleet of beggars and cons
Taking it back, it won't be long
Your name you have kept, the part you've taken
So carefully planned, each word you've spoken
My army is down, my company old
And leaving, quiet and burned
those nights we sought all the words
And if I could have one more guardian on the wall
Riding a fleet of beggars and cons
Taking it back, it won't be long
Your words have now got, the whole town waiting
My army is down, my company old
And leaving, quiet and burned
those nights we sought all the words
And if I could have one more guardian on the wall
Riding a fleet of beggars and cons
Taking it back, it won't be long
Your name you have kept, the part you've taken
So carefully planned, each word you've spoken
My army is down, my company old
And leaving, quiet and burned
those nights we sought all the words
And if I could have one more guardian on the wall
Riding a fleet of beggars and cons
Taking it back, it won't be long
Leave It Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Don't think it's what you're afraid of
come in you know what's been made up
Hold you tight, words have a new sound
reading the signs that just seep out
You've got to leave it
"Don't you go evade me now
Come see what you've done"
Each of your reasons has broken
call it off once you have spoken
Filled to the top then split open
repeating over and over
Now you have to leave it
"Don't you go evade me now
Come see what you've done
I've been thinking lately how
all these feelings won"
come in you know what's been made up
Hold you tight, words have a new sound
reading the signs that just seep out
You've got to leave it
"Don't you go evade me now
Come see what you've done"
Each of your reasons has broken
call it off once you have spoken
Filled to the top then split open
repeating over and over
Now you have to leave it
"Don't you go evade me now
Come see what you've done
I've been thinking lately how
all these feelings won"
Fracture Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
When the light's out
and all of the fracturing starts
You're just paying
for some action you lost in the dark
You come down, holding tight , to the railing on the side
You stayed up, left to dry, Now you're crumbling
Now your guard's down
and all of your timing has gone
You were patient
'till earth swallowed the last of the sun
You come down, holding tight , to the railing on the side
You stayed up, left to dry, Now you're crumbling
It's not complex, see all of the signs flashing on
You're just paying, for all of the bad you have done
and all of the fracturing starts
You're just paying
for some action you lost in the dark
You come down, holding tight , to the railing on the side
You stayed up, left to dry, Now you're crumbling
Now your guard's down
and all of your timing has gone
You were patient
'till earth swallowed the last of the sun
You come down, holding tight , to the railing on the side
You stayed up, left to dry, Now you're crumbling
It's not complex, see all of the signs flashing on
You're just paying, for all of the bad you have done
What You Want Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
If I gotta ride like you want
eating up whatever you got
Keep my lies up , you know
oh you force it all, oh you need it all
Trying to keep a face up tonight
even though the guy's got you right
Coming off the wrong side, you know
oh you force it all
You start it right, You tread so light
You tease this love, You care enough
You can rearrange me now
if we wait we can make it somehow
Well what you want, what you want
anything you want
eating up whatever you got
Keep my lies up , you know
oh you force it all, oh you need it all
Trying to keep a face up tonight
even though the guy's got you right
Coming off the wrong side, you know
oh you force it all
You start it right, You tread so light
You tease this love, You care enough
You can rearrange me now
if we wait we can make it somehow
Well what you want, what you want
anything you want
Rinse Me Down Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Chasing the night
to make it right
oh and you had it
caught like a rabbit
told you to wait
but it's too late
you got your man
rinsing him down
turning your head
to mine instead
gave me the eyes
burning like light
to make it right
oh and you had it
caught like a rabbit
told you to wait
but it's too late
you got your man
rinsing him down
turning your head
to mine instead
gave me the eyes
burning like light
Many Ways Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
One spur in the fire, burning
now we're clearing the embers away
there are many ways this way
so I tell you like you're meant to
and you're quick to guess my choice
was it my trembling hand or my voice?
she said you're stirring
tossing, turning
just like you were in the night
I am sure your choice is right
I've always been a coward
been a coward to this day
there are many ways this way
and your fortune taken from you
by men that always say
there are many ways this way
now we're clearing the embers away
there are many ways this way
so I tell you like you're meant to
and you're quick to guess my choice
was it my trembling hand or my voice?
she said you're stirring
tossing, turning
just like you were in the night
I am sure your choice is right
I've always been a coward
been a coward to this day
there are many ways this way
and your fortune taken from you
by men that always say
there are many ways this way
Dust On The Ground Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
It's that ancient love
That you won't outgrow
It's the fee you pay
It's the debt you owe
It's that subtle way
That you throw me down
And I'm inches above
The dust on the ground
I await your call
I await your crown
Let's change our roads
And chase them all around
It's a subtle way
That you throw me down
And I'm inches above
The dust on the ground
And all is quiet
All is quiet now
And all is silent
All is silent now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
It's that ancient love
That just moves along
There's an itch so slight
Even when you're gone
Well I met you right
But I kept you wrong
And I must wait until I've found the ground
That you are walking on
And all is quiet
All is quiet now
And all is silent
All is silent now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
That you won't outgrow
It's the fee you pay
It's the debt you owe
It's that subtle way
That you throw me down
And I'm inches above
The dust on the ground
I await your call
I await your crown
Let's change our roads
And chase them all around
It's a subtle way
That you throw me down
And I'm inches above
The dust on the ground
And all is quiet
All is quiet now
And all is silent
All is silent now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
It's that ancient love
That just moves along
There's an itch so slight
Even when you're gone
Well I met you right
But I kept you wrong
And I must wait until I've found the ground
That you are walking on
And all is quiet
All is quiet now
And all is silent
All is silent now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
Ivy & Gold Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Waking, sitting up right
Can't explain the sunlight
Wondering why you're not home
The lighter beside you, left
Before you tried to work out all the unknowns
Blame it all on me when I forget to defend
Everything that we worked out
Something in her wording
I cannot help searching for what memory found
Thought it stopped just as its start
But that is not what you are
You're a layer on my clothes made of ivy and gold
Meet me in the hallway
Bite your lip when I say: "Never have you left my mind"
Stop and think it over, smiling, moving closer
Oh, what a delicate time
Blame it all on me when I forget to defend
Everything that we put down
Something in her wording
I guess she was just searching for some knowledge or sound
Thought it stopped just as its start
But that is not what you are
You're a layer on my clothes made of ivy and gold
Can't explain the sunlight
Wondering why you're not home
The lighter beside you, left
Before you tried to work out all the unknowns
Blame it all on me when I forget to defend
Everything that we worked out
Something in her wording
I cannot help searching for what memory found
Thought it stopped just as its start
But that is not what you are
You're a layer on my clothes made of ivy and gold
Meet me in the hallway
Bite your lip when I say: "Never have you left my mind"
Stop and think it over, smiling, moving closer
Oh, what a delicate time
Blame it all on me when I forget to defend
Everything that we put down
Something in her wording
I guess she was just searching for some knowledge or sound
Thought it stopped just as its start
But that is not what you are
You're a layer on my clothes made of ivy and gold
Leaving Blues Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Now your back's to the road
The waiting's everything you know
I'm sure you know that I'm leaving
Riding home everyday
Sure in a cinematic way
Breathing the smoke of the train
Keep the thought of you aflame
I'm sure you know that I'm leaving
Curse God for my regret
I miss you indefinite
Not once did I think that
Love would stay til I come back
Now your back's to the road
The waiting's everything you know
I'm sure you know that I'm leaving
The waiting's everything you know
I'm sure you know that I'm leaving
Riding home everyday
Sure in a cinematic way
Breathing the smoke of the train
Keep the thought of you aflame
I'm sure you know that I'm leaving
Curse God for my regret
I miss you indefinite
Not once did I think that
Love would stay til I come back
Now your back's to the road
The waiting's everything you know
I'm sure you know that I'm leaving
Fairytale Lullaby Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club (originally by John Martyn)
If you want ride a rainbow come with me
I will take you in a magic purple
Maybe we will find a thousand sugar fish
And when you eat them they will grant your every wish
And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along
If you want to catch a star then walk my way
I will take you where the night is always day
You can follow me if you really try
Maybe we will find a rainbow, teach it to fly
And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along
Bow your head and let your eyelids close on down
Where we're going you won't need to bring your frown
You will find that all the things that I have said
Will come true when you are lying in your bed
And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along
I will take you in a magic purple
Maybe we will find a thousand sugar fish
And when you eat them they will grant your every wish
And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along
If you want to catch a star then walk my way
I will take you where the night is always day
You can follow me if you really try
Maybe we will find a rainbow, teach it to fly
And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along
Bow your head and let your eyelids close on down
Where we're going you won't need to bring your frown
You will find that all the things that I have said
Will come true when you are lying in your bed
And if you want your friends to come then bring them all along
Word By Word Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
All of the voices
Spelling it out
Where are the plans you're thinking about
Rest him assured
It comes overnight
Writing it down and tearing it up
If I could tell you
Gradually
Word by word, you'd take it from me
It would be over
Instantly
Landing us where you thought we would be
Spelling it out
Where are the plans you're thinking about
Rest him assured
It comes overnight
Writing it down and tearing it up
If I could tell you
Gradually
Word by word, you'd take it from me
It would be over
Instantly
Landing us where you thought we would be
My God Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
All the highs are downwards
All your fumble words are spent
Paying no attention
To the thoughts of your dear friend
No point louder
The sound of my power
Sink in deeper
Further each hour
My God
When our flower's fading
When our stem begins to fold
I will take off quietly
Like a bird that flees the cold
No point louder
The sound of my power
Sink in deeper
Further each hour
My God
My God
My God
My God
My God
My God
My God
All your fumble words are spent
Paying no attention
To the thoughts of your dear friend
No point louder
The sound of my power
Sink in deeper
Further each hour
My God
When our flower's fading
When our stem begins to fold
I will take off quietly
Like a bird that flees the cold
No point louder
The sound of my power
Sink in deeper
Further each hour
My God
My God
My God
My God
My God
My God
My God
Flaws Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Taking the second plan,
Begging to understand,
Life of a selfless man.
'Cos out of all the flaws I've stumbled on,
It's the hardest one to focus on.
It's the hardest one to focus on.
Why're you calling on?
Isn't one enough?
Giving up all she's got.
'Cos out of all the flaws I've stumbled on,
It's the hardest one to focus on.
It's the hardest one to focus on.
Begging to understand,
Life of a selfless man.
'Cos out of all the flaws I've stumbled on,
It's the hardest one to focus on.
It's the hardest one to focus on.
Why're you calling on?
Isn't one enough?
Giving up all she's got.
'Cos out of all the flaws I've stumbled on,
It's the hardest one to focus on.
It's the hardest one to focus on.
Swansea Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club (originally by Joanna Newsom)
If you want to come on down
Down with your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains pound
Into the wild, wild night
How I would love to gnaw
To gnaw on your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains paw
Into the wild, wild night
How I D-Twain
How I D-Twain
If you want to come on down
Down with your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains pound
Into the wild, wild night
Down with your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains pound
Into the wild, wild night
How I would love to gnaw
To gnaw on your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains paw
Into the wild, wild night
How I D-Twain
How I D-Twain
If you want to come on down
Down with your bones so white
And watch while the freight trains pound
Into the wild, wild night
Jewel Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Old dust, old dirt, they're mine and only mine
I'm just some mortal, you are so divine
You control the game without playing it right
Raise high in me what once did sink below
All dark within now radiantly glows
Come on take me back all that time ago
Our love was just one of your discarded jewels
You think back to it's price and oh you feel a fool
But in that certain light, it looked so beautiful
I'm just some mortal, you are so divine
You control the game without playing it right
Raise high in me what once did sink below
All dark within now radiantly glows
Come on take me back all that time ago
Our love was just one of your discarded jewels
You think back to it's price and oh you feel a fool
But in that certain light, it looked so beautiful
Lamplight Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
You mirror gaze while I decide
The moment you were deified
You turn as if your mind replies
If your devout is unsurmountable
These scattered flashes of delight
They can't help but sway your mind
Never really put me right
The words we said by dim lamplight
Bodies cold and intertwined
I feel the spirit
I feel the
These scattered flashes of delight
They can't help but sway your mind
These scattered flashes of delight
They can't help but sway your mind
The moment you were deified
You turn as if your mind replies
If your devout is unsurmountable
These scattered flashes of delight
They can't help but sway your mind
Never really put me right
The words we said by dim lamplight
Bodies cold and intertwined
I feel the spirit
I feel the
These scattered flashes of delight
They can't help but sway your mind
These scattered flashes of delight
They can't help but sway your mind
Evening / Morning Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Always adrift, there are trips to make
The night won't break, if the day won't break
But I was out, did you get in, did you
Draw the right stamp on your skin, say
I am ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
We can't...
Keep with me, i hope you'll see that
We can speak at slower speeds
When i wake up it will always be that
When i wake up it will always be that
I am ready to
I am ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
The night won't break, if the day won't break
But I was out, did you get in, did you
Draw the right stamp on your skin, say
I am ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
We can't...
Keep with me, i hope you'll see that
We can speak at slower speeds
When i wake up it will always be that
When i wake up it will always be that
I am ready to
I am ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
I'm ready to owe you anything
Dust On The Ground Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
It's that ancient love
That you won't outgrow
It's the fee you pay
It's the debt you owe
It's that subtle way
That you throw me down
And I'm inches above
The dust on the ground
I await your call
I await your crown
Let's change our roads
And chase them all around
It's a subtle way
That you throw me down
And I'm inches above
The dust on the ground
And all is quiet
All is quiet now
And all is silent
All is silent now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
It's that ancient love
That just moves along
There's an itch so slight
Even when you're gone
Well I met you right
But I kept you wrong
And I must wait until I've found the ground
That you are walking on
And all is quiet
All is quiet now
And all is silent
All is silent now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
That you won't outgrow
It's the fee you pay
It's the debt you owe
It's that subtle way
That you throw me down
And I'm inches above
The dust on the ground
I await your call
I await your crown
Let's change our roads
And chase them all around
It's a subtle way
That you throw me down
And I'm inches above
The dust on the ground
And all is quiet
All is quiet now
And all is silent
All is silent now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
It's that ancient love
That just moves along
There's an itch so slight
Even when you're gone
Well I met you right
But I kept you wrong
And I must wait until I've found the ground
That you are walking on
And all is quiet
All is quiet now
And all is silent
All is silent now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
No I don't hide it
I don't hide it now
Ghost Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Chasing the dream, no I never pick up the pen
Always assured but I like it when we pretend.
You should be around, they should just say when
You should make time; you should make time for them
My ever changing ghost
I think he loves them the most
He always shows you where, how and when you went wrong
Always planned but never get things done
I walk in the room and see you waltzing around
The love that you give is such a familiar sound
You just fly straight up and calm the fuck down
You see a house fall because you built it on the wrong ground
My ever changing ghost
I think he loves them the most
The most
He always shows you who
Always assured but I like it when we pretend.
You should be around, they should just say when
You should make time; you should make time for them
My ever changing ghost
I think he loves them the most
He always shows you where, how and when you went wrong
Always planned but never get things done
I walk in the room and see you waltzing around
The love that you give is such a familiar sound
You just fly straight up and calm the fuck down
You see a house fall because you built it on the wrong ground
My ever changing ghost
I think he loves them the most
The most
He always shows you who
Always Like This Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Oh she can wait,
For what I can give,
She knows what I am but,
She won’t believe me,
Is it all ok?
Will I come off the lightest?
I can’t believe it,
It’s always like this,
Kept it at bay
Yes you kept your words
There on your mouth
But it’s not what I heard
If I follow the light
That I deem the brightest
I won’t believe that
It’s always like this
I’m not whole
I’m not whole
You waste it all
I’m not whole
I’m not whole
You waste it all
I’m not whole
Oh you can wait
For what I can give
You know what I am
So you know how I live
Try to look proud
But you’re not in the slightest
Its happening now
And it’s always been like this
I’m not whole
I’m not whole
You waste it all
I’m not whole
I’m not whole
You waste it all
I’m not whole
For what I can give,
She knows what I am but,
She won’t believe me,
Is it all ok?
Will I come off the lightest?
I can’t believe it,
It’s always like this,
Kept it at bay
Yes you kept your words
There on your mouth
But it’s not what I heard
If I follow the light
That I deem the brightest
I won’t believe that
It’s always like this
I’m not whole
I’m not whole
You waste it all
I’m not whole
I’m not whole
You waste it all
I’m not whole
Oh you can wait
For what I can give
You know what I am
So you know how I live
Try to look proud
But you’re not in the slightest
Its happening now
And it’s always been like this
I’m not whole
I’m not whole
You waste it all
I’m not whole
I’m not whole
You waste it all
I’m not whole
Magnet Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Now its decision time
Which one will stay which one will say goodbye
Just my luck to find
Someone that makes me want to leave her behind
We took the backseat, everyone was happy
We took the back where everybody laughed
We took the backseat, everyone was happy
Dreaming of you rushing up to me and
Saying this is where you want to meet
But I don't believe you
Cos last night you woke me up
We almost fell in love
But then you said
It is time for bed
We took the backseat, everyone was happy
We took the back where everybody laughed
We took the backseat, everyone was happy
Which one will stay which one will say goodbye
Just my luck to find
Someone that makes me want to leave her behind
We took the backseat, everyone was happy
We took the back where everybody laughed
We took the backseat, everyone was happy
Dreaming of you rushing up to me and
Saying this is where you want to meet
But I don't believe you
Cos last night you woke me up
We almost fell in love
But then you said
It is time for bed
We took the backseat, everyone was happy
We took the back where everybody laughed
We took the backseat, everyone was happy

Autumn Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
And every time i walk away from you
There's never time
To say what i really had in mind
And people try they never know what's right
It's all the same
A different life behind every face
But i can't change
I've seen a different page
It's in my head
And i can't turn my back
And every word i try to say to you
I never say at the right time
And the right way
And every feeling waiting to escape
And suffocate
Every night and every day
People try they never know what's right
It's all the same
A different life behind every face
Well i can't change
I've seen a different pain
It's in my head
And i won't turn my back
There's never time
To say what i really had in mind
And people try they never know what's right
It's all the same
A different life behind every face
But i can't change
I've seen a different page
It's in my head
And i can't turn my back
And every word i try to say to you
I never say at the right time
And the right way
And every feeling waiting to escape
And suffocate
Every night and every day
People try they never know what's right
It's all the same
A different life behind every face
Well i can't change
I've seen a different pain
It's in my head
And i won't turn my back
The Hill Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
When we look at the Summer Sun; yellow and round.
So we go out to the hill and we lie down.
All but one sits in the corner.
Trying to find a way;
And alright let's go outside,
And ride ride ride to the meaning of life,
And we're crying.
We're all falling out.
I want to go back to old times.
And looking back, looking out at different things.
We flew to high; let the Sun burn our wings.
We never thought it would be us.
Let it all come fast; turn to dust.
And alright let's go outside,
And ride ride ride to the meaning of life,
And we're crying.
We're all falling out.
I want to go back to old times
I want to go back to old times

What If Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
I could go and ask her first
You could try but it won't work
I don't want my cover blown
I should do this on my own
The night has gone
And I'm walking home
But I still don't
I still don't know
If only
One of us
Had the guts tonight
It's so hard to find the silent type
Someone shy who won't spread the hype
You're so cold and you're in this crowd
I am on my way now
The night has gone
And I'm walking home
But I still don't
I still don't know
If only
One of us
Had the guts tonight
And what if
One of us
Had the guts tonight
You could try but it won't work
I don't want my cover blown
I should do this on my own
The night has gone
And I'm walking home
But I still don't
I still don't know
If only
One of us
Had the guts tonight
It's so hard to find the silent type
Someone shy who won't spread the hype
You're so cold and you're in this crowd
I am on my way now
The night has gone
And I'm walking home
But I still don't
I still don't know
If only
One of us
Had the guts tonight
And what if
One of us
Had the guts tonight
The Giantess Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Once is better than a life-time
once is better than a whole long side
when you catch it in the all blood life
he can get it in the after
he can hold it in the older while
when the back of her
you're so damn worked-over
where's the lightning
where's the lightning
where's the lightning
now
where's your finger's
where's your finger's
where's your finger's
now
he can taste it
he can taste it
he can taste it
now
come and get it
come and get it
come and get it
now
once is better than a whole long side
when you catch it in the all blood life
he can get it in the after
he can hold it in the older while
when the back of her
you're so damn worked-over
where's the lightning
where's the lightning
where's the lightning
now
where's your finger's
where's your finger's
where's your finger's
now
he can taste it
he can taste it
he can taste it
now
come and get it
come and get it
come and get it

Open House Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
So you think you've had a walk in the park.
You don't think you've been working too hard.
It looks like he's been opening up.
He don't want to but he can't stop, can't stop.
And what's the name you try to find?
And did you see the way she appeared?
She's the type that knows everyone here.
Another face but I don't know the name.
No friends and you know she's just the same.
And what's the name you try to find?
Open house and I'm opening up.
Don't want to but I can't stop, can't stop.
Open house and I'll never calm down.
Clear it up when the morning comes around.
And what's the name you try to find?
You don't think you've been working too hard.
It looks like he's been opening up.
He don't want to but he can't stop, can't stop.
And what's the name you try to find?
And did you see the way she appeared?
She's the type that knows everyone here.
Another face but I don't know the name.
No friends and you know she's just the same.
And what's the name you try to find?
Open house and I'm opening up.
Don't want to but I can't stop, can't stop.
Open house and I'll never calm down.
Clear it up when the morning comes around.
And what's the name you try to find?
Curl Up Like A Dead Leaf And Go Where The Wind Blows Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Coming back from the scene you started
Got your head on the window slanted
It's all over your skin it sets it off
At the back of a red container
I pray that a black hole take her
Gone from sight and never back and never back
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away no way no way
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away no way no way
Going back away I waste away
Sat alone til the lightning got me
Something I can't just say softly
I'ma sit behind and keep you uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-up
At the back of a red container
Pray that the lightning take her
Gone from sight and never back and never back
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away no way no way
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away no way no way
Going back away I waste away
Got your head on the window slanted
It's all over your skin it sets it off
At the back of a red container
I pray that a black hole take her
Gone from sight and never back and never back
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away no way no way
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away no way no way
Going back away I waste away
Sat alone til the lightning got me
Something I can't just say softly
I'ma sit behind and keep you uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-up
At the back of a red container
Pray that the lightning take her
Gone from sight and never back and never back
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away no way no way
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away I waste away
Going back away no way no way
Going back away I waste away
Glass To Glass Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
When the beat of your mind,
Starts to sway out of time,
Like the first song of the night.
You can say that you won't,
But you know oh oh you might.
And she's there in the hall,
With her praises and all,
Yet her hand swears not to tell.
Cost a lie to meet you,
Fare-the-well.
And it seems when you wake,
Every movement you make,
You can count on your rastful luck.
There's a sight or a song,
That kicks those feelings up.
Its the way you have carried,
It over the years,
And the feeling its all too fast.
You were pouring your heart,
From glass to glass.
Starts to sway out of time,
Like the first song of the night.
You can say that you won't,
But you know oh oh you might.
And she's there in the hall,
With her praises and all,
Yet her hand swears not to tell.
Cost a lie to meet you,
Fare-the-well.
And it seems when you wake,
Every movement you make,
You can count on your rastful luck.
There's a sight or a song,
That kicks those feelings up.
Its the way you have carried,
It over the years,
And the feeling its all too fast.
You were pouring your heart,
From glass to glass.
How Are You Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
She seemed like an alright girl
And I was thinking just one night wont hurt
And I remember saying to her
I don't want to get much older.
So Long

Always seem to be on the run
We haven't spoken in so long
We can't get past the how are you
We're not talking like we used to
So Long

Always seem to be on the run
We haven't spoken in so long
We can't get past the how are you
We're not talking like we used to

And I was thinking just one night wont hurt
And I remember saying to her
I don't want to get much older.
So Long

Always seem to be on the run
We haven't spoken in so long
We can't get past the how are you
We're not talking like we used to

Always seem to be on the run
We haven't spoken in so long
We can't get past the how are you
We're not talking like we used to
So Long

You just fly straight up and calm the fuck down
You see a house fall because you built it on the wrong ground

Pedestal Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
Whatever happened
To saving these words the last time
At least for a while
And he looks so worried
But you hate how he looks at life
With such a closed mind
Too much, too fast
We should be heading back
No questions asked
It's always sailing past
Have learned your lesson
Have you learnt to always think things through
Cause you keep on changing
What you think is right
What is true but only when it suits you
Too much, too fast
We should be heading back
No questions asked
It's always sailing past
His height won't last
His height won't last
Too much, too fast
We should be heading back
No questions asked
It's always sailing past
Too much, too fast
We should be heading back
No questions asked
It's always sailing past
To saving these words the last time
At least for a while
And he looks so worried
But you hate how he looks at life
With such a closed mind
Too much, too fast
We should be heading back
No questions asked
It's always sailing past
Have learned your lesson
Have you learnt to always think things through
Cause you keep on changing
What you think is right
What is true but only when it suits you
Too much, too fast
We should be heading back
No questions asked
It's always sailing past
His height won't last
His height won't last
Too much, too fast
We should be heading back
No questions asked
It's always sailing past
Too much, too fast
We should be heading back
No questions asked
It's always sailing past

Sixteen Lyrics – Bombay Bicycle Club
And so far we had someone
That doesn't work for everyone.
But I'm thinking this could be a one,
If we put our minds to it.
And I came round today,
So I had so much to say;
And I know you hate seeing me this way,
But I'm having fun.
You realise, you realise;
It's real life, it's real life.
You realise, you realise;
It's real life, it's real life. [x2]
Trying to prove you're alright;
And losing track of the time.
Even when the Summer's passing by.
And bringing it down to focus;
And try to bring it down but I'm hopeless;
Andwe should write this down, so we can remember it.
And yes there was a time
When we were two of a kind,
but now I can't even remember why.
You realise, you realise;
It's real life, it's real life.
You realise, you realise;
It's real life, it's real life.
Trying to prove you're alright;
And losing track of the time.
Sixteen is on the side.
Don't waste anytime inside.
Even when the Summer's passing by
That doesn't work for everyone.
But I'm thinking this could be a one,
If we put our minds to it.
And I came round today,
So I had so much to say;
And I know you hate seeing me this way,
But I'm having fun.
You realise, you realise;
It's real life, it's real life.
You realise, you realise;
It's real life, it's real life. [x2]
Trying to prove you're alright;

He don't want to but he can't stop, can't stop.
And what's the name you try to find?
And did you see the way she appeared?
She's the type that knows everyone here.
Another face but I don't know the name.
No friends and you know she's just the same.
And what's the name you try to find?
Open house and I'm opening up.
Don't want to but I can't stop, can't stop.
Open house and I'll never calm down.
Clear it up when the morning comes around.
And what's the name you try to find?
Cancel On Me lyrics - bombay bicycle club
Cancel on me again;
Oh, cancel on me again.
And it's not your fault and again;
No it's not your fault you said.
Oh.
All the world has come to see the end.
You will never see this place again.
And all the world has come to see the end.
And you will never see my face again.
No it's not your fault and again;
No it's not your fault you said.
So cancel on me again.
Oh, cancel on me again.
Oh.
All the world has come to see the end.
You will never see this place again.
And all the world has come to see the end.
And you will never see my face again
And you will never see my face again
Dreaming of you pushing up to me;
And I know where it's going to lead.
Dreaming of you rushing up to me;
And you know it's where you want to be.
Dreaming of you pushing up to me;
And I know where it's going to lead.
Dreaming of you rushing up to me;
That was the boy I used to be.
Yeah, I'm dreaming of you rushing,
I'm dreaming of you rushing,
I'm dreaming of you rushing up to me
Oh, cancel on me again.
And it's not your fault and again;
No it's not your fault you said.
Oh.
All the world has come to see the end.
You will never see this place again.
And all the world has come to see the end.
And you will never see my face again.
No it's not your fault and again;
No it's not your fault you said.
So cancel on me again.
Oh, cancel on me again.
Oh.
All the world has come to see the end.
You will never see this place again.
And all the world has come to see the end.
And you will never see my face again
And you will never see my face again
Dreaming of you pushing up to me;
And I know where it's going to lead.
Dreaming of you rushing up to me;
And you know it's where you want to be.
Dreaming of you pushing up to me;
And I know where it's going to lead.
Dreaming of you rushing up to me;
That was the boy I used to be.
Yeah, I'm dreaming of you rushing,
I'm dreaming of you rushing,
I'm dreaming of you rushing up to me
