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)
