lyrics

I want music in my room, even when I'm not in it.
There's a quality in the air which silences diminish.
Give me a time limit, give me fifteen minutes,
I'll find you a noise so perfect you'll drown yourself in it.

I love the sound of skateboards in street,
it causes me shallow breathing, makes me rise up from my seat.
I love the smell of freshly laid tarmac, so soft and black.
I love the way it feels all beneath four clay wheel.

The opportunities we get are not the ones that we're expecting,
sometimes the things that we're denied we should have been rejecting anyway.
And the people who want the best for you need you to want it too.
When you help yourself, then you'll find a wealth of all that can help you through the day.
