my bedroom feels warm, but it's cold outside. I can tell because of the foggy windows. I think about it for a minute, there are things you know but you can't feel and there are things you can feel, but you don't know how to explain. How did we get to this point? I once thought my present and yours would go hand in hand. We were energy interacting, two souls toying to change each other's lives. Looking at you was like looking into the lake.
I wish I could be young forever, not for leisure, but to keep trying until this works... time destroys more than it creates. It's not good for me.
For better or for worse, we had to share existence, isn't that funny? Many have seen the same Moon as us, but how many saw it that same night, in that same instant?
We were a silence between two special songs, silence that is also music in itself, a trace, faded silhouettes, not strangers... never strangers
I'm so lost in my thoughts... I can't tell the difference between dreams and reality anymore and if what I imagined with you was never real, then I'll just keep lying to myself. It's better that way.
I don't expect to change fate, I don't have any chances left, I try to romanticize failure and learn to love without owning, that could work, I guess...
You hide within every single thing I sense, you can only be seen if I focus long enough. I can't feel you but I know you're there. I will know it every time I look through my window.
You are the cold outside, I am the warmth of my bedroom.

I look to you, dreaming, thinking things that won’t happen
I tried to speak but I choked in an instant and you were gone, just like that
why can’t I ever say what I mean? would it help if we were wasted?
guess I’ll see you at the party. I’m so wasted on your sideways glance
and stubborn like no other, I don’t want to be your friend
why can’t I ever say what I mean?
you feel so familiar, why do i feel like you never look at me the way I look at you
I only want to dance with you, just once
then I’ll forget this feeling, no hard feelings
so tell me, make it easier, apologise and leave me here
I want to give you a reason, but I’ll never talk
about feelings with you, I’m not that honest,
but if I was then I would tell you everything,
how my heart rings in my ears when we’re together
and I hate it when I see you with…

are you lonely?
are you lonely, baby?
are you lonely, are you lonely?
we used to sit up and talk
I never used to speak so much
you stayed stranger for so many months
when I was a vagrant always in a rush
I wish that it could be the same
oh, I wish that it could be the same x2
you opened up like a flower
I was shaking in the wake
of your power over me, effortlessly
you come and go like the moments that I’m happy
I wish that you could feel the same
oh, I wish that you could feel the same x2
how do you know?
how can you read me so?
it’s never been that easy

forget my keys
try the window just so
I can see your face
forget my way
the things I thought
but could never say
still haunt me
there’s still a way
don’t you believe it?
I don’t want to be
a victim
I just want you here
keep me safe
I’ll be yours
just stay
forget my name
it’s so easy, block me out
with every
sip you take
while I’m awake
still thinking
impatience leaves us
hoping, lonely, beside
ourselves all the time
I don’t want to be
a victim
I just want you here
keep me safe
I’ll be yours
just stay

okay I know I say a lot of things that I don’t mean
I’ve been asleep for so many days I know that it seems
like I’m ignoring your calls, like I’m losing control,
like I’m losing my mind, like we don’t have no time,
‘cause baby that’s the truth, no other way to put it
if I was shot through the chest, then you were the bullet
you pick the flowers in my mind, you take all of my time
you fill up my headspace, couldn’t ever replace your body on mine
I think I’m insane with the amount of times I catch myself just staring
at all of the lines on your face, memorising every little part, for when we’re apart
okay I know I say a lot of things that I don’t mean
I’ve been asleep for so many days I know that it seems like
I’m ignoring your calls, like I’m losing control, like I’m losing my mind
like we don’t have no time
but when we’re alone
there’s no place I want to go
just want to stay right here

the leaves all change
the months go too fast
but the feeling never fades
take up my hands
when the ground falls through
I’ll be there where you land
I know, I know
where we should go
a place for you and I
we both know we haven’t much time

"when we decided we were making this EP together, furino and I sat up one night, telling each other stories. thousands of miles apart, connected by music, we found common ground in the things we feared, and the things we loved about relationships and people in our lives. it must have been 4am by the time I finally slept. for the following months, we shaped and molded this into what it is - a real and honest account of our most personal emotions; a product of you, me, and anyone who’s ever felt that pure words alone could never fit the space you made for someone. if only in those distant moments you become aware of their presence, of their significance, and you feel warmth even in the cold outside, perhaps you’ll find that words will suffice after all. perhaps you’ll enjoy what we have made here, for you."
Special thanks to Daniela Morgado for helping me with the translation of the intro letter, to Leila (@littleglobito on ig) for the amazing cover art, to lofishing, specially chefboy RJ and keepitinside, for helping us with the voices for the intro letter, they're amazing producers and great friends; to all the people who sent a voice sample for that track, you are all unbelievable talented; to all my friends, to noah and pim, to importmedia, hakaisu, victor, howlight, Ekaj, ChillYourSpeakers (the brilliant mide behind the youtube video), vikki, rafael and everyone involved in this project, and of course for two huges inspirations who are now in a better place, gus and tim
