All the best ones sound like longing, she said
An ache that rises and won’t subside
I queued them up on Sunfly
I felt you that night
One colour’s always there for me
The colour you’ve become
And on nights of pure sensation, I find you
When all the colours run
One by one, all the lights along the river shiver on
You’ve been ultraviolet all along
And now the shadows rise as one, at the setting of the sun
Day by day, all the nights that came to guide you died away
Only ultraviolеt light remains
But as the waltzer music plays, somеthing flares in you again
When you walk and you walk just to make a moment last
But you stretch it till it breaks apart inside
And you talk and you talk just to cling on to the past
But you can’t remember where you were last night
It’s a sad face text, sent with laser effect
Have you told her you’re addicted to goodbyes?
She’ll remember how you left with the freedom in your chest
And a shoulder to lean on to feel ultraviolet light
Can you feel the surge of something lost returning
Has much changed in the days we’ve been away?
London orbital, I walked all through the night
To be with you again
Met you before they changed the road names around here
Gave away our grace to the gutters
Heard you’re back now, just to make it clear
That we’re nothing like any of the others
I see the silhouettes building in the darkness
And the sweat hang in the air overhead
Ecstatic memory, leaving your body
And rising up where ultraviolet lives
I’m the rain on your window pane at night
I’m the voice of those who stood up to the fall
Streetlights burn through the blossom undisturbed
By the breezes that left town before your call
