Lyrics/Song Structure
Play Intro x 3
Uncalm…
Play Riff 1 x4
Nick:
Listen to the drummer, just listen to the strings
Listen to the DJ just rappin and things
Once I get a message from you, I get all edgy
My minds racing, but my you know not ready uh
SA:
For you, baby all our dreams trickle through
We are back in your teenage bedroom
Both:
Salvador Dali honeymoon
For you
Riff 2 x 4
Nick:
It's like, you and me on Plymouth Rock
Embarking on a journey that I never thought would happen to me so
effortlessly
Sparks flying, your laughter is a symphony
Both:
Spring, what a little moonlight can do
Soon, the summer sun is on you
All the while, we don't hear the news, or feel blue
Chorus x7
Both:
On the scales of desire, your absence weighs more than someone else's
presence
I wanna kiss reason goodbye today
I wanna show its purple essence
On your lips baby, it'll fade away, return your natural iridescence
On the scales of desire, your absence weighs more than someone else's
presence
Riff 1 x2
Nick:
You make me feel uncalm and I think I like it
Make me think of a song that I could not write yet
Melodies create themselves, I'm just a conduit
You make my heart accelerate and I'm on to it.
Riff 2 x2
Both:
For you, baby there's so much that I will do, to be near the sweetness
on you
Funny everything seems so new, when with you
Chorus x7
Both:
(Repeat Chorus)
Intro x2
