Have you ever thought of something.. Not necessarily of something specifically but just a thought that sort of developed in your mind over time... Something you keep going back on, but something you never voiced out loud, never really put it into words...
Neck, chest, waist to floor
Easy to take, you could take me in fours
Make me a deal, a day a piece
Take it all, just stay a week
I'll take you in pieces
We can take it all apart
I've suffered shipwrecks right from the start
I've been underwater, breathing out and in
I think I'm losing where you end and I begin
Basic space, open air
Don't look away, when there's nothing there
I'm setting us in stone
Piece by piece, before I'm alone
Air tight, before we break
Keep it in, keep us safe
It's a pool of boiling wax
I'm getting in
Let it set
Got to seal this in
Can't adjust, Can't relearn
Got to keep what I have, preserve
Basic space, open air
Don't look away, when there's nothing there
Hot wax has left me with a shine
Wouldn't know if I'd been left behind
Second skin, second skin
I can't let it out, I still let you in

Writing music IS pure talent, not everyone can do it. It's a way of putting your emotions, your thoughts, the way you feel into words. After reading the lyrics, you can't help but relate to them and also can't help but wonder how did this person think of writing this.
"And I'll cross oceans, like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too"
SHELTER - The xx
"I can give it all on the first date
I don't have to exist outside this place
And dear know that I can change
But if stars, shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then dear it's fine, so fine by me
'Cos we can give it time
So much time with me
I can draw the line on the first date
I'll let you cross it, let you take every line I've got
When the time gets late
But if stars, shouldn't shine
By the very first time
Then dear it's fine, so fine by me
'Cos we can give it time
So much time with me
If you want me
Let me know
Where do you wanna go
No need for talking
I already know
If you want me
Why go"
STARS - The xx
