A welcome return by the highly original London singer-songwriter with a rich crunchy guitar soundscape, ticking beats and echoes of 90s alternative radio with lyrics on the theme of realising the preciousness of time. The ticking beats and her distinctive voice in a song was written with collaboration with Yanya’s creative partner, Wilma Archer (Sudan Archives, MF DOOM, Celeste), with whom she’s previously collaborated on the last album, Painless, and her debut album Miss Universe. The video was directed Yanya’s sister Molly Daniel, that features Nilüfer as a runaway bride. Nilüfer is newly signed to Ninja Tune.

Like I say like I say like I say
I run away
Cuz I'm on precious time
I can never lose its a state of mind
Know, it's coming down
Like I say like I say like I say
She run away
Cuz I won't cross this line
I could really lose you from time to time
It's coming through my speaker yeah
It's coming through my bedroom
Cuz I feel like all my friends
They don't read my mind
The minute I'm not in control
I'm tearing up inside
Fill up on that feeling
Fill up on the line
If I'm falling out with you!
Cuz if you can't hold my hand
Just to feel alive
In the early morning truth
Like I say like I say like I say I run away
We run on precious time
I don't wanna do this unless you're mine
Know, it's coming down
Like I say like I say like I say
Don't wanna wait
Cuz I know what that shit's like
I could really lose you in time to time
It's coming through my speaker yeah
It's coming through your bedroom
I know your gonna meet her
She's coming to your rescue
Does it feel like all you have
Is put in black and white?
The minute I'm not in control
I'm tearing up inside
And I can't stop you leaving
Is the biggest fear of mine
If I'm falling out with you!
Cuz if you can't hold my hand
Just to feel alive!
In the early morning truth
Can you tell I'm torn now baby
Tell me it's alright
When I'm falling out of view
