Live single / Written in 2025

The House Remembers It All

“And it’s fine because you’re here / And don’t you ever try to disappear”

I wrote this in 2025, starting with the fear of losing people. It became a song about how that fear can make you fiercely protective: wanting to keep someone safe, while struggling with the thought of life without them.

From my notebook

Listen for the repeated chorus giving way to the closing scene in the house.

Read the full lyrics

One, Two, Three, Four And turn off the TV Look, I don't want you to watch the news with me And it's upsetting and I'd rather be free

Look, I don't wanna know if you're gonna die soon Anyways, make a cup of tea And don't you try to change me And don't you want me to be me

And don't you want me to be free And it's fine because you're here And don't you ever try to disappear Don't you ever try to run away

Cos I'll be here at the end of the day I don't know what I'd do without ya Do you expire just like a voucher Dress nice

And won't you please open up your eyes You're looking at a puddle of lies That's dripping on the floor Cos you're such a gaslight

So won't you start up a fire, ignite And shut the door when you leave, alright Where will you sleep tonight And it's fine because you're here

And don't you ever try to disappear Don't you ever try to run away Cos I'll be here at the end of the day I don't know what I'd do without ya

Do you expire just like a voucher Can we split the bill I've got no money, I should write that in my will And my doctor, he thinks that I am ill

So should I take this pill Are you fine? Forget the past, we're running out of time And today feels quite sublime

Let's get drunk on cheap red wine And it's fine because you're here And don't you ever try to disappear Don't you ever try to run away

Cos I'll be here at the end of the day I don't know what I'd do without ya Do you expire just like a voucher An if it doesn't make sense

Let's rewind back to past tense And remember you built up that fence I'm slowly breaking it down And if you don't see a reason

The sign will lead you to treason And so I wouldn't trust the seasons Sometimes they lie And it's fine because you're here

And don't you ever try to disappear Don't you ever try to run away Cos I'll be here at the end of the day I don't know what I'd do without ya

Do you expire just like a voucher When does this party end I said we could go away my friend I'm drunk and I wanna go home

I've ordered a cab straight from my phone I said I'm drunk and I wanna go home I've ordered a cab straight from my phone Close your eyes and count to ten

And re-imagine yourself again And see what life is like in the dark If you're the fire then I'm the spark See this house, no one's home

The TV's still on, the lights are still broke Just like the hearts of the people who lived

None of them claim that they saw this No education, none at all The people who live there claim they see it all And something deep inside the walls.

And the house remembers it all And the house remembers it all darling. The house remembers it all.

Your Schedule

“It’s nice to be important / But it’s important to be nice”

For me, Your Schedule is about fitting my life around someone else while wanting to feel wanted, needed and understood. The feeling keeps changing—from missing someone to the hurt of feeling rejected—and the choruses change with it.

From my notebook

The chorus changes with the relationship: missing, needing, then hating.

Read the full lyrics

I’ll base my day around your schedule I don't consider myself smart or intellectual Being young an dumb that would be the dream But you can't be young and broke and still have self esteem

Chorus: It's nice to be important But it's important to be nice Oh and it's nice to hear you miss me For the first time in your life

I'll tell you what you wanna hear And if you can't take a joke You might as well disappear Some things don't seem to line up An I cant get my head around this love

Chorus: It’s nice to hear you want me Cause I want you all the same Oh and it's nice to hear you need me Double up the price an take the blame

I know that your struggling right now Would you say it was rude If I asked how? I miss your cowardly aggression And if you wanna leave Take it at your discretion

Chorus: It’s great to hear you hate me How your feelings change so quick Oh and it's great to hear you know me Cause I forgot that bit.

Chorus: it's nice to be important But it's important to be nice Oh and it's nice to hear you miss me For the first time in your life

Disconnect

“You mean the world to me, so please don’t throw it all away.”

I wrote Disconnect about a friend I was very close to and what they were going through. It’s about noticing when someone feels far away, checking in, and looking out for your friends’ mental health—even when you don’t know exactly what to say.

From my notebook

Looking out for a friend matters, even when I don’t have the perfect words.

Read the full lyrics

It's a cold and foggy night, maybe just for yourself. Are you feeling alright, or are you feeling disconnected from everyone else? You don't look fine, could just be a sensation. Didn't know what to say when you mentioned derealisation. Is it something to break you down or turn your world around, talk you down to the ground and readjust to you? We can talk this out once we both calm down. You chose the quicker route, not knowing what would come about. Did it just affect me? Are you the one in control? You're being way more nice, forget about ourselves. I will take my chance and move on from this. It's great to know you. Is it nice to know I'm missed?

I feel a sense of calm when I think that is coming to the end. I let down the alarms. I just distance myself from my friends. Is it you who plays pretend, and will I be okay? You mean the world to me, so please don't throw it all away.

Look after your friends, you don't know what they're going through until it's too late. And what the hell are you gonna do? Go out and be reckless if that's what keeps you alive. Is there any point to living if you don't live, you only survive?

I Need You

“I need you and you’re tearing me apart”

I Need You is about loneliness, not having many friends, and needing someone who doesn’t seem to need me in the same way. I want that person to bring the warmth back, but I’m trying to face the feeling that they might not want me back.

From my notebook

The images move between warmth and things burning away: a flame I want back, and lies turning into ash.

Read the lyric excerpt

I need you and you're tearing me apart And I want you to reignite the flames in my heart And I ask you, did I make that clear That I want you, and I think you want me, my dear?

And you are kind for leaving me behind And I want you, but it's clear you don't want me to

By the fire, your lies burn into ash And I'm broke now, we're gonna have to dine and dash To be hated is something I shouldn't know

And I'm driving too fast and I'm passing the cars That are speeding right off of the road And you are kind for leaving me behind And I want you, but it's clear you don't want me to
