Remember me in a simple way, not what I did or said When I think of you now, I just think of the day we met Don't forget me, like I didn't care Yeah, I stole from myself just to make you complete (Flux, flux) I don't think you have the patience I don't think you know the difference (Flux, flux) And I don't want cute imitations I know you wanted to save me And I'm still in love with the idea of loving you It's a state of flux, but it's not enough And I'm still in love with the idea of loving you It's a state of flux, I just keep holding on Would you be taking me higher? Would we be living as liars? I wanna know, I wanna know When the memories pack up and leave, it will set me free All those days on the beach will be washing away from me I will keep it secretly just to keep the peace Keep steering this ship through the dark and the stormy seas (Flux, flux) I should be counting my blessings Staying safe in confusion (Flux, flux) And maybe I'm learning my lesson I know you wanted to save me I'm still in love with the idea of loving you It's a state of flux, but it's not enough And I'm still in love with the idea of loving you It's a state of flux, I just keep holding on Would you be taking me higher? Would we be living as liars? I wanna know, I wanna know Would we be living in Camden? Getting a ticket to your band? I wanna know, I wanna know Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh Oh, I'm still in love with the idea of loving you (Oh, with the idea) It's a state of flux (It's a state of) But it's not enough (It's not enough) I'm still in love with the idea of loving you It's a state of flux, I just keep holding on (Oh, I just keep holding on) And I'm still in love with the idea of loving you It's a state of flux, but it's not enough (Oh, I'm still in love) And I'm still in love with the idea of loving you It's a state of flux, I just keep holding on
