Loose Ends - live from the Royal Albert Hall

Lyrics

[Loyle Carner] It's Jordan Rakei [Chorus: Jordan Rakei] Enough when the going is tough I wait 'til it falls on deaf ears Hearsay without the boundaries of love My take is I wish there was a better way [Post-Chorus: Loyle Carner & (Jordan Rakei)] Ayy, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way) A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way) Friends beckon every second you spend (Way) When wettin' the pen, every letter you send Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way) A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way) Friends beckon every second you spend (Way) When wettin' the pen, every letter you send [Verse 1: Loyle Carner] Yo, I been listening to "Dreamy Days", in disarray I realise it's everybody else who's still astray I feel ashamed, I know there ain't no savin' away They went astray, I went Australia What I'm supposed to say to 'em? Huh? When all this love's out of range Everything around me changed, I'm supposed to stay the same Turn down these free drinks I couldn't even name And act, like all this money isn't fuckin' up my brain Yo I'm goin' insane, shelf full of family remains Brokenhearted, seein' none of 'em again I pour the glass, stick my head out in the rain Find another person I can blame Sat upon that fucking plane Yo, I'm prayin' that we don't crash 'Cause every night, I shiver at the sight when we go back 'Cause every night could be my last, and, yeah, I know that So I crack a smile 'fore it goes black, sing it like, that [Chorus: Jordan Rakei, Loyle Carner and Both] Enough when the going is tough (yo when the going gets tough) I wait 'til it falls on deaf ears ('til it falls on deaf ears yo) Hearsay without the boundaries of love My take is I wish there was a better way (sing that shit) [Post-Chorus: Loyle Carner & (Jordan Rakei)] I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way) A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way) Friends beckon every second you spend (Way) When wettin' the pen, every letter you send Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way) A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way) Friends beckon every second you spend (Way) When wettin' the pen, every letter you send [Verse 2: Loyle Carner] Uh, I wish you'd been there when my dad had died I wish you'd been there when my mother cried Uh, I wish you'd been there in the drag of night To see my side, look me in my eyes when I was paralysed (Yeah, ooh, yeah) And tell me everything's alright and push it to the side It's just a sacrifice, at times, I told a bag of lies But not a pack of lies, we always told a couple ones Of course it was true, you only knew me from the dramatise I feel an agonising risk, in a thousand islands This is where I really wanna be when we were cracking wise (Yeah) 'Cause it was black and white, literally black and white White from my mother and my father was the blackest skies Check, uh, now I can see it's true I see my mother up in you Shit, I think my dad'd see it too And yo, I just wish he knew, uh (one more fucking time like) [Chorus: Jordan Rakei, Loyle Carner and Both] Enough when the going is tough (yo when the going gets tough) I wait 'til it falls on deaf ears ('til it falls on deaf ears yo) Hearsay without the boundaries of love My take is I wish there was a better way [Post-Chorus: Loyle Carner & (Jordan Rakei)] I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way) A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way) Friends beckon every second you spend (Way) When wettin' the pen, every letter you send Uh, I got a lot of love, a lot of loose ends (Way) A lot of people that I wish I knew then (Way) Friends beckon every second you spend (Way) When wettin' the pen, every letter you send [Verse 3: Loyle Carner] Uh, imagine all the friends you see most Each one you're payin' a wage Dependant on you puttin' pen to the page, uh And so you break it down, checking they're paid Another day your heart breakin', you resented the stage You feel that same rage Watch the crowd, watch the stage thinkin', "Shit" Rather in the crowd with your mates drinkin' Misbehaviours, catch another dame winkin' You feel ashamed, guzzle Jagers, your brain's sinkin' You think it's deep down, think it's depression A misspent adolescence But all this time, all this time, time's of the essence You would never learn from your lessons You're stuck in that same quintessence Heartbreak, one in the same Days change, but you're stuck in the game It's like she's tellin' you you're young enough to be at uni Somehow the one who sees through me [Loyle Carner] Yo this is beyond my wildest dreams man, beyond, way beyond my wildest dreams man. Thank you so much for rocking with me. We've been doing this for ten fucking years man, thank you
