lyrics

You're picture perfect, tell me how ya'
Draw the skin across my bones
Was it worth it? You know how your
Memories fold into my tones
As our thirst gets the better of us
You cost the world a million sighs
What's not to worship? When you've got--
You've got dreams in your eyes

All of where I've been
Won't you let me in
Dreams are far to thin, oh baby c'mon
Obvious 'til now
Won't you show me how to make it real?

I hope and I cope but she won't feel me
Give it up, she's not looking
I bleed and I see in my sleep what's in front of me
Give it up

You're picture perfect, tell me how ya'
You make my heart sing
You've been searching, tell me have ya'
Made your Queen for my King?
I draw you in like air that fills the rest of me
What do you do when there is nothing left to breathe?

All of where I've been (where I've been)
Won't you let me in (won't you let me in)
Dreams are far to thin, oh baby c'mon
Obvious 'til now
Won't you show me how to make it real?

I hope and I cope but she won't feel me
Give it up, she's not looking
I bleed and I see in my sleep what's in front me
Give up
Hey yeah, hey yeah.

Wish there was a way you could see
What it's like here with me.
But you're just a face
And I'm out of place
And how to erase the thing that's tormenting me

The Rooks New York, New York

Imagine if Frank Ocean and D'Angelo got a little too hyped at a Carly Rae Jepsen concert, then left to go chill at a dive bar with David Byrne. It's a little like that.
