Compass: The Neighbourhood

The song describes a relationship between two people who have fallen in love but recognize that love can be complicated and potentially destructive. While the singer finds their partner "flawless," they acknowledge that love will inevitably lead to problems and difficulties. The chorus expresses an anticipation of how love will "destroy" them, but an inability to wait for or resist love nonetheless. Over three verses, the song explores how the couple navigates the rough aspects of love through commitment to each other despite hardships.

Compass

The Neighbourhood
If I don't have you with me, I'm alone
You know I never know which way to go
I think I need you with me for all-time
When I need new direction for my mind

You'll listen to my lectures on the phone


You'll help me find the treasure in the hole
You'll tell me if I'm acting like a fool
I know that you're not something to lose, now

I've got something to confess


I'd keep you in my pocket to use
You're my only compass
I might get lost without you

Could you tell me where to go?

You're always there to help me when I'm down


I'm lucky you've been keeping me around
You're the star I look for every night
When it's dark, you'll stick right by my side

I've got something to confess


I'd keep you in my pocket to use (I keep you in my pocket)
You're my only compass (yeah)
I might get lost without you

Like a magnet
Hard to imagine ever changing
Anything changing my way
Baby, like a magnet
Can't help that I'm attracted to you, I am
Could you keep on guiding me?
Please

I've got something to confess


I'd keep you in my pocket to use
You're my only compass
I might get lost without you (I might get lost without you)
I've got something to confess
I might get lost without you
You're my only compass
I might get lost without you
Nervous
The Neighbourhood
Maybe I shouldn't try to be perfect
I confess, I'm obsessed with the surface
In the end, if I fall or if I get it all
I just hope that it's worth it

Last year I fell flat on my face


And last month I knew somethin' should change
Last week I started over again
Ask me and I'll tell you how I've been
Mhm, don't get me started

You've got me nervous to speak


So I just won't say anything at all
I've got an urge to release
And you keep tellin' me to hold on
You've got me nervous to move
So I just won't give anything to you
You got me turnin' all around to be who you need me to

Should I be quiet?
Uh, come on, be silent
Uh, you know I'm tryin'
So don't say nothin'
Uh, tell me you trust me and
Kiss me and hug me, yeah
Well, I would do anything for ya
You just gotta love me and
I got an itch in my throat
I don't know which way to go
I keep on switchin', I know
I need a different approach
It's all because I wanna
Show you that I'm so capable

You've got me nervous to speak


So I just won't say anything at all
I've got an urge to release
And you keep tellin' me to hold on
You've got me nervous to move
So I just won't give anything to you
You got me turnin' all around to be who you need me to

Hush, baby, don't you say another word


Hush, baby, don't you say another word, be quiet
Hush, baby, don't you say another word
Hush, baby, when you do, I just get hurt

Come on, baby, don't you hurt me anymore


I'm not the same way that I was before
I got goosebumps all over me
When you're around, hard for me to breathe
Come on, baby, don't you do that anymore
It's not like the days have never felt so short
My nerves, they give me a sign
Tell me I'm not fine, mhm

You've got me nervous to speak


So I just won't say anything at all
I've got an urge to release
And you keep tellin' me to hold on
You've got me nervous to move
So I just won't give anything to you
You got me turnin' all around to be who you need me to

Hush, baby, don't you say another word


Hush, baby, don't you say another word, be quiet
Hush, baby, don't you say another word
Hush, baby, when you do, I just get hurt

Hush, baby
Hush, baby
Hush, baby
Hush, baby

Scary Love
The Neighbourhood
Move to the city with me
I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna be alone
You're too pretty for me
Baby, I know, it's true, yeah
Even better when you first wake up
Than anybody else I've fucked
Baby, I got good luck with you
I didn't know we'd get so far
And it's only the start
Baby, you got me worried (hey)

Your love is scaring me


No one has ever cared for me
As much as you do
Ooh, yeah, I need you here, oh
Your love is scaring me
No one has ever cared for me
As much as you do
Ooh, yeah, I need you here

Drivin' through the city with me


Just watching you glow
I'm in the passenger seat, you're in control
It's on you now
Even better every day, I swear
Maybe it's a little unfair
Baby, I'm starstruck by you
Didn't know we'd get so far
And it's only the start
Baby, you got me worried (hey)
Your love is scaring me
No one has ever cared for me
As much as you do
Ooh, yeah, I need you here
Whoa, your love is scaring me
No one has ever cared for me
As much as you do
Ooh, yeah, I need you here

If we fall apart
Maybe it wasn't meant to be
If we fall apart
It was our favorite dream
Ooh, ooh, hey

Your love is therapy


No drug can give me clarity
As much as you do, ooh (as you do, baby)
Yeah, I need you here (I need you here)
Your love is scaring me (no one)
No one has ever cared for me (ooh, baby)
As much as you do
Ooh, (hey, yeah) yeah, I need you here (oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Ooh, I need you, babe) ooh, ooh, ahh
Yeah (yeah, yeah, I need you, baby)
(Ooh, I need you)

Reflections
The Neighbourhood
Where have you been?
Do you know when you're coming back?
'Cause since you've been gone
I've got along but I've been sad

I tried to put it out for you to get


Could've, should've but you never did
Wish you wanted it a little bit
More but it's a chore for you to give

Where have you been?


Do you know if you're coming back?

We were too close to the stars


I never knew somebody like you, somebody
Falling just as hard
I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise (I sold my soul for you)
I see my reflection in your eyes

I know you're sick


Hoping you fix whatever's broken
Ignorant bliss
And a few sips might be the potion

I tried to put it out for you to get


Could've, should've but you never didñ
Wish you wanted in a little bit
More but it's a chore for you to give

Where have you been?


Do you know if you're coming back?

We were too close to the stars


I never knew somebody like you, somebody
Falling just as hard
I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise (I sold my soul for you)
I see my reflection in your eyes (tell me you see it too)

So close, so close
Yet so far away (so far)
I don't know (I don't)
How to be solo (no)
So don't go, oh, no, just stay
You and I were bright, shooting through the sky daily (yeah)
Lighting up the night, wasn't always right, baby (mhm)
Yeah, every time that we realised it's crazy
And you save me

We were too close to the stars


I never knew somebody like you, somebody
Falling just as hard
I'd rather lose somebody than use somebody
Maybe it's a blessing in disguise (I sold my soul for you)
I see my reflection in your eyes (I sold my soul for you, I know you see it too)

Yeah, I brought same ones too


I know you're tired, I know you're tired
Just say it, I agree with you
Yeah, sick of all the poison in me
What did I do wrong for me, babe?
Uh, I see myself in you, I see myself in you, baby
I see myself in you, alright, I sold my soul for you
I see myself in you, maybe you should too

Flawless
The Neighbourhood
She planned ahead for a year, he said let's play it by ear
She didn't want him to run, he didn't want her to fear
Nobody said it'd be easy, they knew it was rough
But, tough luck

I fell in love today, there aren't many words you can say
That could ever get my mind to change
She's enough for me, she's in love with me

You're a doll, you are flawless


But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love
You're only flaw, you are flawless
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love

So, she put his heart in a bag, he wouldn't ask for it back
He didn't want her to cry, she didn't want to be sad
She said, you better not leave me
This shit'll be fucked for days and weeks and months, but

I fell in love today, there aren't any words that you can say
That could ever get my mind to change
She's enough for me, she's in love with me

You're a doll, you are flawless


But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love
You're only flaw, you are flawless
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love

Add it all up, I can find it


The problem with love is I'm blinded by
It rattles my lungs, but my mind is
Tangled between your little flaws
Your flaws, your flaws, your flaws

You're a doll, you are flawless


But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love
You're only flaw, you are flawless
But I just can't wait for love to destroy us
I just can't wait for love

Wait for love, I won't wait for love


Wait for love, I won't wait for love
Wait for love
