Bastille, Kae Tempest - Forever Ever lyrics

I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it

I see ahead of me a
Light that takes my breath
If we're only ever looking back
Then how can we expect
To see each other as we are
For all that we've become?
Would we be friends at all if we
Weren't friends when we was young?
I want to feel close to you
For more than just the sake
Of the place that we grew up in
All them times when we got baked in the park
Look if you take me apart
You'll find half of me is you
But half of me is asking me to start anew

You look the same but I don't recognise you
I'm looking you dead in the face
And I can't find you
Don't like the way we always
Talk in the past tense
You can't explain the present till you
Work out what the past meant

These are the days that bind us together
Forever
Oh these little things define us forever
Forever all this bad blood here
Won't you let it dry? (Woah, oh, ohh)
It's been cold for years
Won't you let it lie? (Woah, oh, ohh)

There's a man I've known for years and still
To this day do I know him
I love him very much
It's very hard for me to show it
Back then and even now I feel
There's something that I owe him
And that feeling should be going
Over time, but no, it's growing
We was kid mates making mistakes
Playing give take
Big hearts battling them big
Snakes rattling their tails
He was like the wind in my sails
I was like the water for his
Keel – it was real
It used to hurt my flesh that
His worn scars are heated still
He used to hurt his flesh just
To see if he could feel to cut a long short
He was never really the strong sort
Got into the wrong sport – big swigs
Long snorts caught in that spiral
Saw attempts to help as spiteful
And soon he got so down that
He got on the brown, word got around
People did not like the sound
They told me to stop popping
'round to see him i kept disagreeing
Soon he was a different being
He got into stealing, robbing, I
Still see him frequent, often
Eyes are throbbing, weeping
Sobbing, freaking out, wouldn't speak about
The things that made him weak
'cause that would stop
His throat mid-sentence
Face would paint repentance but
His actions spoke dependence
Friendship became difficult – to
Say the least, he played the beast
So well I wondered how we'd
Ever make our peace
That's when we drifted, never argued
It just became clear
The parts of him I loved
So well would slowly disappear, but

Those are the days that bind us together
Forever
And these little things define us forever
Forever all this bad blood here
Won't you let it dry? (Woah, oh, ohh)
It's been cold for years
Won't you let it lie? (Woah, oh, ohh)

Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide
I'm gonna find you and take it slowly
But those are the days that bind us together
Forever
(Ready or not, here I come, you can't hide)
These little things define us forever
Forever
(I'm gonna find you and make you want me)
