Isaac Laurence - For a Friend Lyrics

I take my time
Yeah I'm a slow one
I look around
There's always things to see
You're so quick
You got such wit
Yeah you enrich my
Search history
Well in the now
Car on the road
Take me to the coast
There's trouble in the future
For now just sun
Obsession
I think this might be love
Flood all my senses
The magnitude
Of our problems
Is staggering
We give up because we think we're alone
But it's a lie
We're atomized
Born in an age of great divide

Ain't no narrative I can give
Just a running list
Just a face in the mist

Just a cigarette
It's poetry you said
How all the work we dread gives such insight
Thought my hands were tied
Might take my whole damn life
But I'll paint you the perfect figure

I see it still
So vividly
That stop downtown
Where you wished me
The best of days
With loving creatures
The rain made the world
Into a place of little mirrors
Like a catchphrase
Like chords in a song
The thought replays
Til it's bare and raw
I sing it to myself
But it comes out wrong
The melody's corrupted
It's full of flaws
The house held not
The space for me
Suddenly we had different ideologies
But I'm done trying to persuade
That my opinion's worth your time

Ain't no narrative I can give
Just a running list
Just a face in the mist

Just a cigarette
It's poetry you said
How all the work we dread gives such insight
Thought my hands were tied
Might take my whole damn life
But I'll paint you the perfect figure
