RED DESERT

Red, red desert, heal our blues


I'd dive deeper for you
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you

[Verse 1: Luke]
I’ve been asleep so long, I'm so far away
Visions I see are strong, I hear what they say
Won't you leave all your fears at the edge of the world?
I’ll tell you again like I told you before
I've been asleep so long, wasting away

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
Tell me, would you pack up all your bags, stay true to North?
You're the only one I'd do this for

[Chorus: All]
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I'd dive deeper for you
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you

[Verse 2: Luke, All]
It doesn't take too long (Ah) to heal and replace (Ah)
The demons we're running from (Ah), they're begging to stay

[Pre-Chorus: Luke, All]
Tell me, would you  pack up all your bags, stay true to North?
You’re the only one I’d do this for

[Chorus: All]
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I'd dive deeper for you
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you

[Bridge: All]
Red
Red
Red, red
Red, red

[Chorus: All, Michael, Ashton]
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I’d dive deeper for you
(Dive in deeper for you, dive in deeper for you)
What a blessing to feel your love
Twilight moments with you
(All these moments with you, all these moments with you)

[Outro: All]
Pack up all your bags, stay true to North
You're the only one I'd do this for
Red, red desert, heal our blues
I'd dive deeper for you
NO SHAME

[Verse 1]
Angel, with the gun in your hand
Pointin' my direction, givin' me affection
Love is fatal, won't you give it a chance?
Center of attention, don't you ask me any questions

[Pre-Chorus]
Go on and light me like a cigarette
Even if it might be somethin' you'll regret
You got me now, now, now
Swallow me down, down, down, down

[Chorus]
I only light up when cameras are flashin'
Never enough and no satisfaction
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
Diggin' my grave to get a reaction
Changin' my face and callin' it fashion
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name

[Verse 2]
Lay me in the palm of your hand
I'll give you my permission, you'll always be forgiven
Go on, replace me
When you're cravin' somethin' sweeter than the words I left in your mouth
Go on and spit me out

[Chorus]
I only light up when cameras are flashin'
Never enough and no satisfaction
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
Diggin' my grave to get a reaction
Changin' my face and callin' it fashion
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name

[Post-Chorus]
I love the way you're screaming my name
I love the way you're screaming my name

[Bridge]
Go on and light me like a cigarette
Even if it might be somethin' you'll regret
You got me now, now, now
Swallow me down, down, down, down

[Chorus]
I only light up when cameras are flashin'
Never enough and no satisfaction
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name
Diggin' my grave to get a reaction
Changin' my face and callin' it fashion
Got no shame
I love the way you're screaming my name

[Post-Chorus]
I love the way you're screaming my name
I love the way you're screaming my name

OLD ME

Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me


Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me

[Verse 1: Luke]
Never a night alone, anywhere you wanna go
Woke up in the mornin' wearin' someone else's clothes
Pictures in my phone with people I don't know
Woke up in the mornin', how the hell'd I make it home?

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
And they wondered how long I could keep it up
While I wondered if I'd ever, if I'd ever get enough
And I did some shit I never should've done, eh-eh
I would do it over now, I'd do it over

[Chorus: Luke]
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
Whatever the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
Had to fuck it up before I let you get to know me

[Verse 2: Luke]
Another round, here we go, going in blow for blow
Look into the mirror, take the punches that I throw
I'm constantly reminded of all the compromises
By the people from my past who have a hard time letting go, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
And they wondered how long I could keep it up
While I wondered if I'd ever, if I'd ever get enough
And I did some shit I never should've done, eh-eh
I would do it over now, I'd do it over

[Chorus: Luke]
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
Whatever the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
Had to fuck it up before I let you get to know me, eh-eh

[Bridge: Luke]
Devil at my door
Got me knockin', knockin', knockin' on the other side
Ashes on the floor
But I'm walkin', walkin', walkin' outta here alive

[Chorus: Luke with Calum]


Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me
Glad you didn't listen when the world was trying to slow me (The world was trying to slow me, yeah)
No one could control me, left my lovers lonely (Lonely)
Had to fuck it up before I really got to know me, eh-eh
All of the mistakes I made, I made, I made, I made
Whatever the price I paid, I paid, I paid, I paid (Yeah)
Shout out to the old me and everything you showed me (Yeah, the old me)
Had to fuck it up before I let you get to know me, eh-eh

Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?
I don't wanna know, oh
But I know that I'm never, ever gonna change
And you know you don't want it any other way

Why do we always gotta run away?
And we wind up in the same place

The hardest part of all (Da-da-da-dum-da-da-da-da)
Is that we're only built to fall (Is it easier?)

[Chorus: Luke, with All]


Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go?

And you know that you're always gonna stay the same (Is it easier?)
Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go? (Yeah)

TEETH

[Verse 1: Luke]
Some days, you're the only thing I know
Only thing that's burning when the nights grow cold
Can't look away, can't look away
Beg you to stay, beg you to stay, yeah
Sometimes, you're a stranger in my bed
Don't know if you love me or you want me dead
Push me away, push me away
Then beg me to stay, beg me to stay, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
Call me in the morning to apologise
Every little lie gives me butterflies
Something in the way you're looking through my eyes
Don't know if I'm gonna make it out alive

[Chorus: Luke & All]


Fight so dirty, but you love so sweet
Talk so pretty, but your heart got  teeth
Late night devil, put your hands on  me
And never, never, never ever let go
Fight so dirty, but you love so sweet
Talk so pretty, but your heart got  teeth
Late night devil, put your hands on me
And never, never, never ever let go

Some days, you're the best thing in my life
Sometimes when I look at you, I see my wife
Then you turn into somebody I don't know
And you push me away, push me away, yeah

Call me in the morning to apologise
Every little lie gives me butterflies
Something in the way you're looking through my eyes
Don't know if I'm gonna make it out alive

Blood on my shirt, rose in my hand
You're looking at me like you don't know who I am
Blood on my shirt, heart in my hand
Still beating

Fight so dirty, but you love so sweet
Talk so pretty, but your heart got  teeth

BEST YEARS

[Verse 1: Luke]
You've got a million reasons to hesitate
But darling, the future's better than yesterday
I wasted so much time on people that reminded me of you
Gave you a million reasons to walk away

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
But I'll build a house out of the mess and all the broken pieces
I'll make up for all of your tears

[Chorus: Luke]
I'll give you the best years
I'll give you the best years
Past love, burned out like a cigarette
I promise, darling, you won't regret
The best years

[Verse 2: Luke, Luke & Calum]


I wanna hold your hair when you drink too much
And carry you home when you cannot stand up
You did all these things for me when I was half a man for you
I wanna hold your hand while we're growing up

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
But I'll build a house out of the mess and all the broken pieces
I'll make up for all of your tears

[Chorus: Luke, Luke & Michael]


I'll give you the best years
I'll give you the best years
Past love, burned out like a cigarette
I promise, darling, you won't regret
The best years
The best years

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus: Luke, Luke & Michael]


I'll give you the best years
I'll give you the best years
Past love, burned out like a cigarette

NOT IN THE SAME WAY

[Chorus: Luke & All]


Drink all night, never sleep
You say, "Go," I won't leave
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Rip my heart out and leave
On the floor, watch me bleed
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way

[Verse 1: Luke]
Not today
Mascara's runnin' down your face again
I can feel it comin' down on me
Hurricane insert name
We're good at this game, game

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
We fuck, we fight, then you call me a psycho
I walk out the door, but you won't let me let go
Turn right around, throwin' rocks at your window
But I can't forget you, and I'll always let you

[Chorus: Luke & All]


Drink all night, never sleep
You say, "Go," I won't leave
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Rip my heart out and leave
On the floor, watch me bleed
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Drink all night, never sleep
You say, "Go," I won't leave
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Rip my heart out and leave
On the floor, watch me bleed
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way

[Verse 2: Luke & All]


Not today
I'm wakin' up to my mistakes again
I know you love to point them out
Baby, I'm sick of sadness and you're sick of Xanax
We're good at this game, game

[Pre-Chorus: Luke]
We fuck, we fight, then you call me a psycho
I walk out the door, but you won't let me let go
Turn right around, throwin' rocks at your window
But I can't forget you, and I'll always let you

[Chorus: Luke & All]


Drink all night, never sleep
You say, "Go," I won't leave
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Rip my heart out and leave
On the floor, watch me bleed
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Drink all night, never sleep
You say, "Go," I won't leave
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Rip my heart out and leave
On the floor, watch me bleed
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way

[Post-Chorus: All]
Way
But not in the same way
Way
But not in the same way

[Bridge: Luke, Luke & Calum]


I never wanna lie to you
But I can't say no to you
I know you think I'm bulletproof
But you know how to hurt me too
In the dark, we're black and white
In the morning, colourblind
Leave your mark with every bite
Then everything's alright
When you tell me you love me
Then you wanna leave me
Pouring your pills down the sink
Sayin' "It's not what you think"
Don't know if I love you
Don't know if I hate you
But I can't forget you, and I'll always let you

[Chorus: Luke & All]


Drink all night, never sleep
You say, "Go," I won't leave
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Rip my heart out and leave
On the floor, watch me bleed
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Drink all night, never sleep
You say, "Go," I won't leave
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way
Rip my heart out and leave
On the floor, watch me bleed
I love you, you love me
But not in the same way

[Post-Chorus: All]
Way
But not in the same way
Way
But not in the same way

LOVER OF MINE

[Verse 1: Luke]
Lover of mine, maybe we'll take some time
Kaleidoscope mind gets in the way
Hope and I pray, darling, that you will stay
Butterfly lies, chase them away, mmm

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Calum]


Dance around the living room
Lose me in the sight of you
I've seen the red, I've seen the blue
Take all of me
Deep to where your secrets hide
Where we've been a thousand times
Swallow every single lie
Take all of me

[Chorus: Luke]
I'll never give you away
'Cause I already made that mistake
If my name never fell off your lips again
I know it'd be such a shame
When I take a look at my life and all of my crimes
You're the only thing that I think I got right
I'll never give you away
'Cause I already made, already made that mistake

[Verse 2: Luke, Luke & Calum]


Lover of mine, I know you're colourblind
I watched the world fall from your eyes, ooh
All my regrets and things you can't forget
Light them all up, kiss them goodbye

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Calum]


Dance around the living room
Lose me in the sight of you
I've seen the red, I've seen the blue
Take all of me
Deep to where your secrets hide
Where we've been a thousand times
Swallow every single lie
Take all of me

[Chorus: Luke & Calum]


I'll never give you away
'Cause I already made that mistake
If my name never fell off your lips again
I know it'd be such a shame
When I take a look at my life and all of my crimes
You're the only thing that I think I got right
I'll never give you away
'Cause I already made, already made that mistake

THIN WHITE LIES

[Verse 1: Luke]
I don't feel your love
And I don't ask too many questions
The words, they are too much
When you show me my reflection

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & All]


When the sun goes down, we all get lonely
Watch me as I disappear
These empty sounds and endless stories
So tell me what I wanna hear (Thin white lies)

[Chorus: Luke & All]


Killin' me slow with the words you wrote
The heart you broke, the heart you broke, yeah
Callin' my name, I don't wanna stay
But I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake (Thin white lies)
Just one more taste of you, my love (Thin white lies)
Killin' me slow with the words you wrote
The heart you broke, the heart you broke, yeah

[Verse 2: Luke]
You never call me out
You know exactly where I'm goin'
You got me by the mouth
But she said she love me, she don't show it
[Pre-Chorus: Luke & All]
When the sun goes down, we all get lonely
Watch me as I disappear
These empty sounds and endless stories
So tell me what I wanna hear (Thin white lies)

Killin' me slow with the words you wrote
The heart you broke, the heart you broke, yeah
Callin' my name, I don't wanna stay

Just one more taste of you, my love (Thin white lies)
Killin' me slow with the words you wrote
The heart you broke, the heart you broke, yeah

I don't think I like me anymore
Can someone tell me who I was before?
I don't really like me anymore
Anymore, anymore (Thin white lies)

[Chorus: Luke & All]


Killin' me slow with the words you wrote
The heart you broke, the heart you broke, yeah
Callin' my name, I don't wanna stay
But I'm wide awake, I'm wide awake (Thin white lies)
Just one more taste of you, my love (Thin white lies)
Killin' me slow with the words you wrote
The heart you broke, the heart you broke, yeah
(Thin white lies)

I don't think I like me anymore
Can someone tell me who I was before?
I don't really like me anymore

LONELY HEART

[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1: Luke]
Your type of mind, so hard to find
Native of mine, you're just my kind
Down on my knees, I'll always follow
I promise you until the end of time
Our house on fire, we're burnin'
We dance inside, you're hurtin'
If you leave me in the mornin'
I'll have such a—

Heart, oh woah (Oh woah)
Heart

[Verse 2: Luke, All, Luke & Calum]


Your precious heart, can't watch it break (Ooh, ooh)
So I close my eyes while you walk away, mmm (Ooh, ooh)

Can I have another dance?
Can I start another life with you? Yeah (Oh)
When I wake up in a haze and I haven't slept in days
You're a thousand miles away with—

[Chorus: All]
Such a lonely heart, oh woah

HIGH

[Intro]
Check, two

[Chorus: Luke]
I hope you think of me high
I hope you think of me highly
When you're with someone else
I know your friends all lie
I know your friends don't like me
They want you for themselves

[Verse 1: Luke]
Today, I called to tell you that I'm changing
But I don't think you have enough respect to see me try
I've been waking up in different spaces
And I think that my heart is built to last more than a night

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Calum]


I need to stop letting me down, down, down, down, down
I need to stop letting me down, down, down, down, down

[Chorus: Luke]
I hope you think of me high
I hope you think of me highly
When you're with someone else
I know your friends all lie
I know your friends don't like me
They want you for themselves

[Verse 2: Luke & All]


I know I'll never meet your expectations (Ah, ah)
But the picture that you paint of me looks better in your mind
Now every step I take with hesitation (Ah, ah)
And I'll always miss the memories of the mornings we were high

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Calum]


I need to stop letting me down, down, down, down, down
I need to stop letting me down, down, down, down, down

[Chorus: All]
I hope you think of me high
I hope you think of me highly
When you're with someone else
I know your friends all lie
I know your friends don't like me
They want you for themselves

[Post-Chorus: All]
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, ooh
When you're with someone else
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, ooh
They want you for themselves

[Outro: Luke]
I hope you think of me high
I hope you think of me highly
When you're with someone else
