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)
