Future Islands

Life is the reason
I m still holding ground
Life is imperfect bodies and perfect sounds
Death is in season
And it s pushing me round and round and round
A bottle cap, a rusted crown

When one pushes up
The other pulls me down
And I don t know if I ll get up, if I ll get out
One pushes up
The other pulls me down
And I don t know if I ll get up, if I ll get out

This one makes you big
In a cruel world
This one makes you small
In a lonely world
This one takes it all away
All the pain
But I m not giving up
Not today, not today

There s life in this tunnel
We re just hanging around
Please, if you see my hand, just pull me out
Cause there s death in this tunnel
Still hanging on me
Still begging on me

Cause when one pushes up
The other pulls me down
And I don t know if I ll get out, if I ll be found

This one makes you big
What a cruel world
This one makes you small
Feel that lonely world
This one takes it all the way
But I ll stay
Cause I won t give you up
Not today, I won t
I won t give you up
