elliot moss - highspeeds
I'm tired
I've be waiting for you
I'm so tired and
I need to lay down
But you're traveling high speeds and
You're fast
Too fast to chase anymore
You're too fast to chase anymore
Oh, it'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I knew what I know now
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I was swimming in the shallows
'Cause then I wouldn't be just spending my whole life
Catching up to you
But I held a seashell
Close to my ear
I listened
To the sound of the sea
It made me swear
An oath of secrecy
I couldn't tell a soul what it told me
Oh, it'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I knew what I know now
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I was swimming in the shallows
It'd be better if the world would all slow down
It'd be better if I was swimming in the shallows
It'd be better if I was swimming in the shallows
The shallows
The shallows
It made me swear
An oath of secrecy
I couldn't tell a soul what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me, no
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me
I can't tell you what it told me, no
She waltzed her way into the sea
Baby take me with you please
I don't know what I'd do
If you leave
Watch all the torches go out
One at a time
The world gets darker every night
Cause I see it all
Without the lights
She waltzed her way into the sea
Baby take me with you please
I don't know what I'd do if you leave
She waltzed her way into the sea
Baby take me with you please
I don't know what I'd do if you leave
Reach up your hand to pull me down, down
Pull me down, down, down
Pull me down, down, down
Pull me down, down, down
Pull me down, down, down
Pull me down, down, down
Pull me down
Ooh call off the dogs
We found her in the woods
It's about time
It's about time
I do like this it makes me feel nice
I do like this it makes me shine
I do like this it makes me feel light
I do like this it makes things alright
It's about time
It's about time
I do like this it makes me feel nice
I do like this it makes me shine
I do like this it makes me feel bright
I do like this and I think you were right
It's about time
It's about time
It was so bright
So bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
It was so bright
So bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
I started to believe in all the stories
'Cause I couldn't stand to fight
I was so tired of hanging on
To that last bit of light
But it was so bright
So bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
Yeah, it was so bright
So bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
Everything went back to how it was
But nothing ever felt right
I was so tired and I should have closed my eyes
I should have closed my eyes
But it was so bright
So bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
Yeah it was so bright
So bright, so bright
That I forgot about the dark
OOh you gotta
OOh you gotta
OOh you gotta let me in
Don't be scared
I won't bite
I can't help while
You're inside
Don't be scared
I won't bite
I can't help while
You're inside
Open up
Let me in
Or I'm gonna blow your house down
Open up
Let me in
Or I'm gonna blow your house down
I can't help while you're inside
Retract the claws
And I'll knock on your door
I know you're hurt
But whatcha hiding for?
OOh you shoulda
OOh you shoulda
OOh you shoulda let me in
Don't be scared
I won't bite

Or I'm gonna blow your house down
Open up
Let me in
Or I'm gonna blow your house down
I can't help while you're inside
Bend my body into shapes
To show me how to fit
My arms and legs are crossed
The way you taught me to sit
I woke up in the dark
Pressed up on the window
This glass is cold
I'm thinking in circles
My mind is a razor and you're looking like a thread
Bend my body into shapes
Body into shapes
Body into shapes
Body into shapes
Bend my body into shapes
Body into shapes
Body into shapes
Body into shapes
Bend my body into shapes
Till the butterflies escape
My arms and legs are crossed
And they're pinned down by your weight
I woke up in the dark
Pressed up on the window
This glass is cold
This room is turning circles
My mind is a razor and you're looking more and more like a thread
Bend my body into shapes
Body into shapes
Body into shapes
Body into shapes
Bend my body into shapes
Body into shapes
Body into shapes
Body into shapes
Bend my body into shapes
Body into shapes
Body into shapes
Body into shapes
'Cause it's so much harder to
Fall in love when you've
Been in love before
It's so much harder to
Fall in love when you've
Been in love before
The future's peaks are capped with ice now
And the symphony that played our score stopped making sound
If you knew it was coming back
Why weren't you there to hear it?
I'll be standing outside, staring at the sky
Only you know what I'm watching for
It's so much harder to
Fall in love when you've
Been in love before
It's so much harder to
Fall in love when you've
Been in love before
'Cause it's so much harder to
Fall in love when you've
Been in love before
It's so much harder to
Fall in love when you've
Been in love before
And I can't breathe
'Cause the walls are creeping up behind me
Zoom in and pull the camera back
Cardiac monitors keeping time
Little spikes
Stitch together a mountainside
And pull the camera back
And the hardest part
Oh the hardest part
Is I know somebody else is all you need
You can't have time without any sand
Can't build cities without any men
You can't lock fingers without any hands
I can't go on, but I hope you can
It's always hard to say goodbye
But even great things die sometimes
It's always hard to say goodbye
But even great things die sometimes
Ooh, I'm falling down
Ooh, I'm getting hurt
But I get back up, I get back up
Yeah I get back up, I get back up again
I get back up again
But I get back up, I get back up
Yeah I get back up, I get back up again
I get back up again
Put her in drive and hit the gas
You can fight about it
Or you can speed away
Turn up the radio full blast
You can think about us
Or you can drown me out
Ooh, I'm falling down
Ooh, I'm getting hurt
And I get back up, I get back up
Yeah I get back up, I get back up again
I get back up again
And I get back up, I get back up
Yeah I get back up, I get back up again
I get back up again
I wanna hide
Inside of
A Faraday cage
To stop the transmissions
The calls
And the radio waves
I wanna hide, I wanna hide, I wanna hide
Hey
It looks like
You've seen a ghost
Were you surprised
That out of all things
This is what hurt you the most?
I wanna hide
Were you surprised?
I wanna hide from you
I wanna hide
Were you surprised?
I wanna hide from you
And I can't swim
'Cause I can't move my limbs
OOh I can't swim
And here comes the part where I drown
Just when I finished standing up all the dominoes in my head
They were standing up again
They were standing up again
And you push one at the end
Just when I finished standing up all the dominoes in my head
Yeah they're standing up again
They were standing up again
And you push one at the end
I fear I'm fading away
My skin's infected with a light gray
I can feel my mind decay
My thoughts are on a time delay
OOh I can't think
My limbs battle out of sync
No I can't think
Ooh here comes the part where I drown
Just when I finished standing up all the dominoes in my head
Yeah they're standing up again
They were standing up again
And you push one at the end
Just when I finished standing up all the dominoes in my head
Yeah they're standing up again
They were standing up again
And you push one at the end
You push one at the end
Just when I finished standing up all the dominoes
You push one at the end
You push one at the end
You push one at the end
You push one at the end
Just when I finished standing up all the dominoes in my head
You push one at the end
You push one at the end
You push one at the end
You push one at the end
You push one at the end
Just when I finished standing up all the dominoes in my head
Yeah they're standing up again
They were standing up again
And you push one at the end
Just when I finished standing up all the dominoes in my head
Yeah they're standing up again
They were standing up again
And you push one at the end
Just when I finished standing up all the dominoes in my head
Yeah they're standing up again
They were standing up again
And you push one at the end
Just when I finished standing up all the dominoes in my head
Yeah they're standing up again
They were standing up again
And you push one at the end
