All Night (TNC, ELIZA)

Faint flicker from the corner of the mirror
Catches me off guard while the laptop falls off charge
Surprised there was no murmurs in the yard
Easy to find a likeness in the dark
Grabs you in the heart causing love to drift apart
But it always finds its way back
Drinks on the bedside loves living on the breadline
At times it’s fine but I’m inclined to chime up
when it’s right I’ll leave my mind to decide
If loves blind I’ll let fate make its own grub
Up all night saying love ignites
Talk to me I’m talking northern lights
Colours of your mind I’m seeing asking price
Allow your ears to be exercised
What times it acceptable to stay up till?
When you’ve got nothing planned the next day or two
I’m up all night writing virtual crimes
Of the kind that kill beats of mine
I try and try to keep an open mind
cos my girl appreciates when I provide
Subtle love doesn’t blossom overnight
It creeps up on you and works overtime
Watch me now I’ll lose my trail of thought
Cos when I try concentrate the words fall short
I’m pleading with you now just please adore
The eyes lay before you that you asked for
Watch me now I know you’ve got my back
We always talk about change like we’re diplomats
But these appeals they fall upon the deafest of ears
Thank fuck for that erasing all our fears

I wish you’d stop looking back at me
At what I’m doing, smoking or saying
Cos when you only look at yourself with greed
I’ll lose love for you with no waiting
This underlying feeling of guilt i own
That has me for breakfast lunch and tea
Asks me every day if I
Should let you and our friendship rest in peace
And while I’m sat here writing these lines at home
You’ll lose interest on the phone I know
They’ll be a message left unread or some
Instagram video I’ve sent that never comes
Don’t let the ball hit the ground and leave
our love drying out for our mums to see
Lose sight of the boy claimed her second son
If she ever lost us we’d say the hatred won
I struggle to communicate sometimes
So this is my best form of communication
My feelings of late haven’t crossed this line
Let’s hope it stays that way for our own frustrations
Look, it’s probably best I get off now
Cos I’ve said my piece and signed my vows
Stop looking back at me he said
So I took those words and spoke them myself
From my heart straight through to your ears
I hope these words ring out down south
Cos I’m sick and tired of repeating myself
I’d rather make tea ourselves than go without
I wish you’d stop looking back at me
At what I’m thinking, believing and praying
Cos when you only look at yourself I plead
Look at the world around it’s not waiting

Okay, look
I’ll lose sleep and I’ll
Gain it back the next morning
Who’s feelin blue I know
The boy who can’t stop yawning
Half of me thinks I’m not working hard enough half the time
But if I’m scraping the barrel more than once in my life
I’ll look at myself through greyed out glasses and I’ll
Pick out all of my growing faults
And I’ll slide em in this empty wallet of mine
Right next to the invisible notes
Whose who to tell me if I’m right or if I
Should leave the guessing to the experts
Cos to be honest with myself takes a lot of time
Most of which makes my fucking chest hurt
I guess I just need to (in the chorus)
Choosing to stay up late, later than the average loser I tell you
It isn’t really a choice
Cos if you’re feeling the way that I do right now
All the little people inside you, they wouldn’t rejoice
I quite like waking up and missing breakfast
It gives me a chance to mull it all over
You know, I just thrive on an empty stomach
All that thinking it brings my head and my stomach a whole lot closer
For this last verse that you’re about to hear I think
I’m gonna pass the baton over to a friend of mine
He’ll explain the words I’m tryna say a little more clearer
And that verse of his on this song helps me pass the time

There’s way way too many fuckin hours in the day
And simply not enough in the night
I lose my mind when my body stays up late
And loses sight of love when it’s bright
She looked at me as I looked away
It’s heart trips with the way mine sways
Brightest glow bites at lovers bait
Then shrivels down in the light of day
Strangers eyes mirror loves Demise
Coldest nights with the strangest highs
Wrap me in your warm surprise
Soak my skin vice at night
I said soak my skin vice at night
Boredom strikes like the bluntest knife
Wash it down with a purple prize
Now I’m feeling to take the flight
Parallels in the way I chat
Brace new faces for the sack
No entry now in my minds pad
Closed on the door to stop attacks
Red on the front to stop attacks
Bare with my friend he packs lightly
Use brown tape cover up the cracks
dunno if he’s safe but he said he might be
Off the dome I reckon this one slaps
Use my phone to talk politely
don’t ever fall in domestic traps
me n my Mrs don’t keep it feisty
Link brad make sure he rolls it tightly
chappers one too cos you know he’ll ask
take em thru a new town to sight see
kill a set on stage bare nerves I’ll pass
eye of a needle is the size of your
Ability to get to new highs you bore
I write my rhymes on a double edged sword
Your ones get written on while your bored
I’ve deviated from the subject matter
Back to basics down the ladder
Wind down again until it’s time
For my ep to drop saying autumns mine
I’ve deviated from the subject matter
Back to basics down the ladder
Wind down again until it’s time
For my ep to drop saying autumns mine

This is a love song for all my people
All those close
Getting by
I wanna talk about when times are peaceful
Walking out
Summer night
Whether it’s on the way back from a gig with brad
And with whoever’s tagged along in the back
Or driving up the m6 with my old man
Go and see the woman who dont let me call her nan
Tired drives underneath blue skies
Heart eyes emoji advertised
Heat of the windscreen
Against my thighs
Makes me feel things
I ain’t for time
And it has been time
Since me and jack drove back from London
And kept all the chat for when we got knocked out
Semi finals coloured vinyls
I miss those drives when we weren’t in doubt
Or off to pick up my little sister
Couldn’t tell her how much I’d missed her
How much I’d missed her
My little brother in his car seat
Smiles all round when he kept us laughing
Mum in the front knowing the family she’s built
Is one for keeps it’s all love within
Love within that’s universal
The people surrounding I’m forever grateful
Heart eyes emoji advertised
Story of my life that it defines
I wanna ask my dad now if he remembers
Wheels on the motorway sun roof down
The birth of the rude boys 4 years old
Who’d think
We’d have our own song written about it now
Whether it’s driving underneath the sun that shines in Tenerife
Or beneath the clouds that England brings
Family surrounds me whoever I’m with
Even the new friends in the passenger seat
Lately I’ve been really thinking about
The times without background noise
I’ll stare smiling while driving quiet
And strain just to hear their voice
Ramsay’s of a and Ramsey’s with e
Although separate now it’s all love to me
And last but not least a new family tree
Welcoming like a fish to sea
Love don’t fail with a fam like theirs
Grappling love warmest affairs
Welcome hearts like the comfiest chairs
Opening arms never fears
And it’s her voice that’s so comforting
The one who sits on that seat most
Loves never had a sharper sting
One that hits like marmite butter on toast
Heart eyes emoji advertised
Story of my life that it defines
