Where's My Sunshine?

It's never so simple
It's always colossal
And I've got my hands full
Biting my nails
Fingers shoved down my throat
How am I back here?
Lost my spine
Dropped down a gear
Got no momentum
Yet falling faster than ever
And if anything could go right
Now would be the perfect time
It's raining in my head
Where's my cloud nine?
And if anything could go right
I wouldn't have to fantasise
My head is soaking wet
Where's my sunshine?
When did it get so chilly?
Frostbite on my mind
Got me feeling dizzy
Everybody's thinking about the future
Don't ask me what happens next
Stuck in chapter one
With no pages left to turn
Nowhere left to turn
And if anything could go right
Now would be the perfect time
It's raining in my head
Where's my cloud nine?
And if anything could go right
I wouldn't have to fantasise
My head is soaking wet
Where's my sunshine?
Still searching for that antidote
But everything seems vertigo
And the only way is down
Show me where I'm meant to go
Some place not so purple
I'm sick of wearing frowns
And if anything could go right
Now would be the perfect time
It's raining in my head
Where's my cloud nine?
And if anything could go right
I wouldn't have to fantasise
My head is soaking wet
Where's my sunshine?

Pangaea

Your life's a mess
But that ain't strange to me
We're in this same boat full of leaks
18000kms across the sea
So what is this feeling?
So what is this feeling?
How'd I get attached so soon?
Symbiotically latching onto you
A common trend
It's something I always do
I always do
I know that distance
Causes things to change but
You make me feel higher
Than the drugs you take
Oh, bring back Pangaea
At least that way we could be together
Be together
Maybe it was a sign
When my car broke down
And you had to fly
That things well they weren't meant to be
Yet I keep trying constantly
Rid me of naïveté
I know that distance
Causes things to change but
You make me feel higher
Than the drugs you take
Oh, bring back Pangaea
At least that way we could be together
Be together
Optimism only takes you so far but
I just wanna talk is that too much to ask
Oh, bring back Pangaea
Shift the continents to bring you closer
Closer to me
Maybe I'm not stupid
And I'm just thinking long term
I'm sick of being outlines
Just want you to colour me in
I know that distance
Causes things to change but
You make me feel higher
Than the drugs you take
Oh, bring back Pangaea
At least that way we could be together
Be together
Optimism only takes you so far but
I just wanna talk is that too much to ask
Oh, bring back Pangaea
Shift the continents to bring you closer
Closer to me
Oh, bring back Pangaea
At least that way we could be together
Be together

It's Always the Distance

It's the drugs that turn me off of you
Flick the switch, you're lit, I'm sick
With worry, are you sure your safe?
Can't trust what you say in that
State
Only when I'm sad you sober up
Tell me how you're sorry but
My hunger fades, my patience wanes
It's always the distance that brings me
Pain
Flashback, echo, rehash
360, back track
Déjà vu
Where's the new?
You've been on my mind 1000 times
Only now just beginning to realise
It's all a trend
Why does this keep happening?
Only when I'm sad you sober up
Tell me how you're sorry but
My hunger fades, my patience wanes
It's always the distance that brings me
Pain
