lyrics

I never thought I'd be looking at you,
Drowned in curtains and army boots
I never thought I'd be torn apart,
On re-entry into the dark and the blue

I never told you I tried to see,
The way you see and it scared me
Eyes are blinded by ecstasy,
Close the doors and lost the key, and then I knew...

What I should do: I should be holding you
Stop my thinking and see it through
But how can I change the scene?
And I need someone,
Yeah I need someone,
To sleep on my shoulder

Still don't know what I'm hoping for,
Am I open or torn apart?
While all appalling things belong,
I couldn't keep on just keeping on like you do

But now I'm standing all over-done,
Times have changed, feel like closing up
And all the world is on the run
Stars are falling, and then they're gone into the blue...

And I'll think of you when I'm falling too
You'll hold me steady and see me through
And you'll tell me tenderly,
"You'll find someone,
I know you'll find someone,
To sleep on your shoulder"

Then I fell into memories that move
They move right through me and brought up you
And now I'm a setting sun,
I need someone,
Yeah I need someone,
To sleep on my shoulder

about

The Room Upstairs London, UK

Since forming in 2014, The Room Upstairs have become album-era hanger-on-ers, decorating themselves in retro-tinged melodies and folk-rock lyricisms. They muse on mortality, nostalgia, the passage of time, and emotional life crises (quarter, mid, or just normal "ran-out-of-milk" stuff). That said, they also wrote this biography, so maybe listen and debate the bias.
