I could feel the pulse of your heartbeat through the hollow wall
resonating faster than them, faster than them all
I could feel the shock realisation through the static air
only this could ever take you there
you'll crack like they do
like you always do
you spilled out your utmost anxiety on the kitchen floor
I could see your tact left behind, wincing at the door
and now there's a space to fill
the greatest void to fill and i know you will
you'll crack like they do
just like you always do
you will crack just like you do always
you will crack just like you do always
you will crack just like you do always
you will crack just like you always do
reel out revolve til your problems are solved
unwind like the pathways you've been
with the street as your dancefloor
and the sun above your spotlight
it could be so serene
spin, careen, lose yourself
just sway with me, dance with me
hey quickstepper
quickstepper
i think you will find the world's preoccupied
so once in a while go carefree
with the breeze as your chorus
and the rain awash with slightest symphonies
so eloquently
spin, careen, lose yourself
just sway with me, dance with me
heart and soul
i don't want to let you go
i don't want to let you go
i don't want to let you go
so i've been told
it's sweet growing old
when you've got a hand to hold
when you've got a hand to hold
and just go easy on yourself
'cause everyone gets a little lost sometimes
it's not that easy to find your way
i am in control
the universe a whole
with everything i know
with everything i know
so go and unfold
stories left untold
and all will be consoled
all will be consoled
and just go easy on yourself
cos everyone gets a litte lost sometimes
it's not that easy to find your way
far out, coming around, tomorrow's due
and now i've hopelessly found i'm lost in you
go ahead and pour your heart out
wear it on your sleeve indecently
should've said just what you meant
if only we weren't hesitent
now we know it's evident
between the lines we never read
oh eve stay for me i want you to
oh eve would you believe i long for you
classic scenes on grainy screens
my eyes are watering incessantly
should've said just what you meant
if only we weren't hesitent
now we know it's evident
between the lines we never read
(my eyes are watering incessantly)
who do we think we are?
with these ideas above our station
but only you and i can make them what they
are we falling away? sharing memories erased
making plans in our bright minds
these things they coincide
you're finding things that i can't find
and i'll be keeping that in mind always
who do we think we are?
so typically atypical
content in being cynical
tessellate and shine
bonafide and golden in my eyes
these things they synchronise
you're finding things that i can't find
and i'll be keeping that in mind always
i'm finding things i want to find
and i'll be keeping that in mind always
think of the way we used to be
photographic memory
down in the ground we found our feet
how those hours turned to days turned to weeks
time moves slow without you
longest summer nights
nostalgic times
longest summer nights
when all you do is try
and remember what you've lost
don't want to be a passenger
like the years i used to be
it's always so much easier
apparition in the loneliest seat
time moves slow without you
longest summer nights
nostalgic times
circa days gone by
nostalgic times
longest summer nights
why don't you just try
and remember what you've got
i felt the rush capillary red
just like the happiest blend of chemicals straight to the head
and those amber lights they burn overhead
and blur like my eyes and all of the signs that i've misread
and if the clocks on the wall never moved at all
it would still take me forever to tell you everything
i felt the rush lighter than air
with a charm so debonair
but the bones in my wrists not much to resist
a fall from a height so magnificent as this
and if the clocks on the wall never moved at all
it would still take me forever to tell you everything
and with all that time to spare, still i swear
it would still take me forever to tell you everything
i felt the rush capillary red
just like the happiest blend of chemicals straight to the head
lately i'm all out of luck
all out of luck
save yourself i'm no hero
and i'm not coming back
feel the weight
gravitate
apnea taking my breath away
apnea keep all your oxygen for me
calm me i'm far overblown
all on my own
i'm forever burning out
and i'm not coming back
apnea taking my breath away
apnea keep all your oxygen for me
