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)
