Story Behind The Song
Loosely based on the writer's girlfriend from years gone by.
Song Description
Propulsive glam-styled tale of young, dysfunctional love predominantly holed up in a bedroom. Down and dirty low keys on the piano drive this one. Cool, melodic harmonies chime in on the chorus + textural, futuristic keyboard soundscapes and a thick lightning bolt of a guitar solo that sounds like a call to arms.

Lyrics
I'm usually bitter
With the day to day grind
And I couldn't convince her
That I'm quite the prize
I'm sick of the daytime
I'm sick of the night too
And if there was no time
I'd spend it with you
Wake up you sweet thing
And butterfly those eyes
Making believe there's a tear you've yet to cry
Stay clear of make ups and give me one more try
Hold on to yourself for dear life with all your might
There was a good reason
Actually quite a few
We're just out of season
Living in your bedroom
Contradiction is my thing
Denial is yours
One thing is for certain
We'll never get bored
Wake up you sweet thing
And butterfly those eyes
Screaming til dawn as the morning comes alive
Stay clear of make ups
And give me one more try
Hold on to yourself for dear life with all your might
