What If You Hypnotise Me?

If you could gift my feelings language

Speech is a necessary magic sometimes

Please articulate my anguish

Please explain to me why these raindrops accompany better times, yeah

If you could make all the

If you could, make the

What if, what if, what ifs

Just fly away for a minute, mm

If you could make all the

If you could, make the

What if, what if, what ifs

Just fly away for a minute, mm

(I remember) Angels weeping at my bad habits

(I remember) Swan matches and smoke dancing on the window pane

(Ex-ex-expand on that, that’s interesting though)

(What else do you remember?)

(I remember) Thinking until my thoughts got damaged

(I remember) Someone said you could help find my thoughts a name

(Psycho-ana-, hypno-thera- , uh, could you find my thoughts for me?)

Is it that I need some love, love of the selfish kind?

Is it that I need to know what's in the depth of mind?

Indeed if I do find out, would I just stay confined?

Wishful thinking games, wait 'til the stars align

Is it 'cause memories break, why I feel lost in time?

Is it 'cause I've made mistakes, karma taking flight?

But if you could hypnotise me

Then maybe, then peace would find me

Oh, if you could hypnotise me

Then maybe, then peace would find—[Chorus: Sampha]

If you could make all the

If you could, make the

What if, what if, what ifs

Just fly away for a minute, mm

If you could make all the

If you could, make the

What if, what if, what ifs

Just fly away for a minute, mm

Quiet storms dwelling on what you're not

I'll help you find a way out

Easily swayed, you're not cautious enough

Who made you this way?

Travelling inside your confine

Traffic in your heart and your mind

The spirit of your memory's gone blind

There’s answers in your body entwined
