"Headspace" lyrics

"Headspace"

Salt of the earth, my friend
It's all that we are in the end
Well, you tripped up over lines you drew
And I can take the hit but I'm sorry, I don't want the bruise
Your voice gets a little loud
When there's nothing to talk about, you shout, dear

And I'll find my lights fading out
More and more by the hour
It gets dark in here

If you got time enough for me
Sing me a song and send me to sleep
Slip into my headspace while I dream
Spin me a yarn, wrap it up around me

Dust to dust, my friend
Well, you're only blood and bones
And I know your heart's at war with your head
I am sure it hurt to see
You're more than I'll ever have
And more than I'll ever be
I know it's a little late
My timing was never great
But I'm calling, dear

I just wanted to let you know
That I won't bother you anymore
I'll be gone this time next year

If you got time enough for me
Sing me a song and send me to sleep
Slip into my headspace while I dream
Spin me a yarn, wrap it up around me

If you got time enough for me
Sing me a song and send me to sleep
I never thought that a lie could sound so sweet
Until you opened your mouth
And you said you loved me

Lewis Capaldi wrote this when he was 17 years old. He explained in a track-by-track commentary to the album, "'Headspace' is the oldest song on the album. It wasn't really meant to be on the album. It's just a song that I've always kept in a live set. And it's always meant quite a lot to me. Again, it's a kinda insecurity thing where you think that, 'Oh no, they must not actually like me as much as they do.'"
