Knew we'd never meet again
So shared the shards that we never can
Floating just above the ground
Someone forgot to fill in the crowd
It's not neat
It's not fair
And the worst part is you understand
Its not neat
its not fair
Now
Nothing's like it was before
Did you feel that too
When our eyes
They said more
Than we ever could
Now nothing's like it was before
Thames just out of view
You could give us the world
But all we want is in that room
Now nothing's like it was before
As we stood there soul to soul
So easily made sense of it all
T shirt hanging off you too
Hadn't the heart to make an excuse
It's not neat
It's not fair
And the worst part is you understand
Its not neat
its not fair
Now
Nothing's like it was before
Did you feel that too
When our eyes
They said more
Than we ever could
Now nothing's like it was before
Thames just out of view
You could give us the world
But all we want was in that room
Now nothing's like it was before
Time will kiss it better
But we'll never be undone
I guess we must conceed
Eternity's a moment
Efortless with conviction
Now nothing's like it was before
Now nothing's like it was before
Now nothing's like it was before
Floating just above the ground
Someone forgot to fill in the crowd

One kiss deep
The idea of more is one the sea keeps
Cus I can’t bring myself, from my knees
To where we were before
Feel me now
send my pupils swimming
like only you know how
while we pretend that love has atrophied
While we count on fate to intervene
You know I know we,
Just can’t help
That feeling
In those moments when
No one could,
Could ask for more
Yes it’s fear
you’re the lighthouse so I must steer/keep clear
Less than forever, (is) nothing at all
So we won’t begin, won’t lose anymore
Still,
Sometimes,
The truth will get caught in your eyes
While they’re dancing, playing games with mine
But we know this beats hard goodbyes
It’s true,
Souls paw at hosts to share a view
We both know the worlds not built for two
But at least we’ll share
(the view)
You know I know we,
Just can’t help
That feeling
In those moments when
No one could,
Could ask for more

Oliver Beardmore Birmingham, UK
Oliver’s new direction defines a sonic palate which places him at the end of a more avant-garde lineage: inspired sonically by shoegaze and dream pop royalty My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive but with a melodic sensibility more akin to Lorde and Mazzy Star. ... more
