Ryan's voice has been described as a "hushed rasp, with words catching like vows destined to be broken - one of modern music's most potent whispers."

Verse 1:
Am F
Hold yourself I’m done
C F
My arms are tired
Am F
Saw you walking backwards
C F
Towards the fires
Am C
I’m in love with a red sky
F
I’m in love with a tragedy
Am
We’ll betray what we can’t deny
F
Cause I believe she needs me
Verse 2:
Am
Caught a flash of…
F C F
Absolute perfection
Am F
Shattered light fell dark
C F
In all directions
Am C
Traffic floats like a ballet
F
Far below in the distance
Am
Just as sad as the words we’d say
F
It’s all gone in an instant
Chorus:
Am F
It’s just so easy, it’s hard
Am F
It’s just so easy, it’s hard

Pull me closer

Verse 3:
Am F
Ashtrays lie like hearts
C F
For you to burn in
Am F
Smoke curls from your mouth
C F
Before you turn in
Our love is a black gun
F
I feel the loss in the mundane
In the hours, the minutes run
F
They’re just so subtle but they have their way
Chorus:
Am F
It’s just so easy, it’s hard
Am F
It’s just so easy, it’s hard
Am F
Pull me closer
C F
I can’t feel you
Am F
You’ll have to trust me
C F
I can’t steal you
