The Young International [EP]

Ruckus

Is that beat, beat, beating in your head gonna get to you?
Is that beat, beat, beating in your chest gonna make you move?
Am I be-believing everything that you say is true?
I guess I gotta beat, beat, beat it into your head

I really think we’re onto something
And you’re gonna like the sound of it
If you tell me it was all for nothing
I’ll tell you what, we’re gonna start a ruckus

Are you seeing between the lines?
Are you feeling the new design?
Come on we all need to redefine
And beat, beat, beat it into your head

I really think we’re onto something
And you’re gonna like the sound of it
If you tell me it was all for nothing
I’ll tell you what, we’re gonna start a ruckus

We’re gonna start a ruckus

Gravity

Calling all you scientists
Are we all just mathematic?
I just want to know
Do you got a new equation?
Or a better explanation for why we come and go?
Oh the patterns in the air that pull us everywhere

I’m gonna hold you like gravity
Always keeping you close to me
Like the ground to my feet or the earth to my body
I’ll hold you like gravity

Staring into the abyssIs every star forever fixed burning like the sun?
If only I could pull one close
I would never let it go
And brighter we become
The patterns everywhere, they pull us everywhere

I’m gonna hold you like gravity
Always keeping you close to me
Like the ground to my feet or the earth to my body
I’ll hold you like gravity

Forces in the earth that we’ve tangled up with words

I’m gonna hold you like gravity
Always keeping you close to me
Like the ground to my feet or the earth to my body
I’ll hold you like gravity

Say Goodbye To The Sun

Sneaking out of the house
Creeping underground
Poison out of your mouth
And your hands in the pocket of a maddening crowd
I jumped into the clouds
Up above the sound
To see what all the fuss was about
And it’s a long way down
A long way down now

Wake up sleepy son of a gun
Don’t get stuck sleeping inside of the sun

Sneaking out of the house
Keep it underground
You got your head in the clouds
And it’s a long way down
A long way down now

Wake up sleepy son of a gun
Don’t get stuck sleeping inside of the sun

Oh yeah you’ve gone and done it now
Oh yeah the dark is spinning out
You’d reconsider if the space somehow

Said goodbye to the sun
So say goodbye to the sun

Shadowboxing

Shadowboxing while I lie in bed
Shallow box of thoughts locked in my head
And try as I might, I’m losing the fight

I am always striking at the wind
Shooting at a target I can’t hit
And I’ve spent my precious time on it
Searching just to find I must be losing my mind

Everybody wants what they don’t have
Getting to the point and taking laps
Around and circling back
You start where you were last

Everybody’s striking at the wind
Shooting at a target I can’t hit
And I’ve spent my precious time on it
Searching just to find I must be losing my mind

Oh well we’ll just get over it
I do it time and time again
Oh are we walking on a wire
Or am I?

Maybe I’m just striking at the wind
Shooting at a target I can’t hit
And I’ve spent my precious time on it
Searching just to find I must be losing my mind

Straight Line

On the wrong side of the tracks
And there’s no going back
Because the train is coming, train is coming fast
I said the train is coming, train is coming

Everything’s gonna be alright
Yeah, everything’s gonna be alright
Moving in a straight line

Maybe I’m crazy, not everything comes to an end
We’re pushing daisies to start it all over again
And the rain is coming, rain is coming fast
The rain is coming, rain is coming

Everything’s gonna be alright
Yeah, everything’s gonna be alright
Moving in a straight line
Everything’s gonna be alright

I feel the ground hold my body tight
Dream by day of a sleepless night where
Everything’s gonna be alright

Moving in a straight line
