MAKING MAPS OUT OF YOUR DREAMS, an arthur/eames mix
01. swing - white lies
I wake up lonely, with love at my side
I wake up lonely and I don't know why
I meet the morning on his way back home
it seems he never really works for long
I took the life and soul from every dream, until it sucked the life and soul from me
all this time, it moves so slow / your kiss never dies / you ring, I'm running home
now I'm not trying to hide it, disguise or deny it
raise a hand and fight what's part of me
my hammer right beside it, puncturing the quiet
love, unwind / this is all that I need
02. the day I die - the national
don't do this, I don't do this to you
don't expect me to enjoy it
the day I die, where will we be?
had to deal with those people like you who made no goddamm common sense
I'd rather walk all the way home right now than to spend one more second in this place
I'm exactly like you valentine, just come outside and leave with me
03. papillon - editors
the worlds turn too fast
feel love before it's gone
it kicks like a sleep twitch
darling, just don't put down your guns yet
we'll find our own way home somehow
I'd help you out, I've seen the life you wish to leave
04. no care - daughter
love you in a panic because I prefer to sit on fences
we are like broken instruments
sleepless folks watching light grow / through their early morning windows
and you have kissed my neck so your arguments are insane
fighting over the way something was said / well, I'm still here like a cheap threat
I don't care anymore
05. futile devices - sufjan stevens
it's been a long, long time since I've memorized your face
it's been four hours now since I've wandered through your place
and I would say I love you, but saying it out loud is hard
so I won't say it at all
and I won't stay very long
06. take you on a cruise - interpol
I'm timeless like a broken watch
I see that you've come to resist me, I'm a pitbull in time
baby won't you try to find me?
baby won't you try to fight?
maybe it will be alright
there's nothing like this built today, you'll never see a finer ship in your life
I am a scavenger between the sheets of union
lately I can't tell for sure, whether machines turn anyone
07. ready to start - arcade fire
if the businessmen drink my blood / then I guess I'll just begin again
if I was bored, you know I would
and if I was yours, but I'm not
now I'm ready to start
I would rather be wrong, than live in the shadows of your song
my mind is open wide, and now I'm ready to start
you're not sure, you open the door, and step out into the dark
08. london thunder - foals
I'm on the red-eye flight to nowhere good
how about you?
always leaving, never you
come back to London thunder, the sound of sorrow in my room
there is no way to realign, upholster skin I take back every line
there is no water, there is no sound / will you come around?
there is no space, there is no time / where'd you draw the line?
09. nantes - beirut
well it's been a long time, long time now
since I've seen you smile
and I'll gamble away my fright
and I'll gamble away my time
and in a year, a year or so
this will slip into the sea
just another night in Nantes
10. what did my lover say (it always had to be this way) - wolf parade
I don't think I should feel sorry for things I do in dreams
some people live like they're falling
some people die in their sleep
I've got a sandcastle heart - made out of fine black sand
sometimes it turns into glass / when shit gets hot
11. undertow - warpaint
better not to quench your thrist
better not to be the first one diving in, though you caught me and you know why
what's the matter? you hurt yourself?
open your eyes and there was someone else
nobody ever has to find out, what's in my mind tonight
nobody in my mind, nobody in my mind
12. feels like we always go backwards - tame impala
I know that you think, you sound silly when you call my name
but I hear it inside my head all day
the seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no
cause I decided long ago
but that's the way it seems to go when trying so hard to get to something real
feels like we only go backwards, darling
13. little motel - modest mouse
we treat mishaps like sinking ships, and I know that I don't want to be out to drift
we trade tit for tat like that for this, and I don't think that there was an insult that was missed
I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips, and they both tell me that we're better than this
because that's what we're waiting for, aren't we?
14. young liars - tv on the radio
my mast ain't so sturdy, my head is at half
I'm searching the clouds for the score
young liars / thank you for taking my hands
fucking for fear of not wanting to fear again
lonely is all we are, lovely so far / but my heart's still a marble
someday suppose that my, curious nervousness,
spills into prescience, clairvoyant consciousness
I will be calmer than cream / making maps out of your dreams
