Words
Lyrics
I've heard all I need to know
Your voice in fucking echo stereo
Well this particular scenario
Looks like another all time low
Why did you go and let them in?
See this is where the fun begins
You haven't even pierced the skin
Just wait till you see what is coming
Get down on the floor
Shut the god damn door
Been down this road before
We're coming back for more
So give me just a little, baby
Just something to get by
This is gonna last forever, baby
We'll get to the other side
And we will live forever, baby
And stretch across the sky
I'll follow right behind you, baby
We are never gonna die
Hey
Everything is not okay
We lost too much along the way
The passengers arrived today
It looks as though they're here to stay
This paranoia turns to fear
Just who was whispering in your ear?
Pretending, but I know you hear
(Just how'd we fucking end up here?)
So give me just a little, baby
Just something to get by
This is gonna last forever, baby
We'll get to the other side
And we will live forever, baby
And stretch across the sky
I'll follow right behind you, baby
We are never gonna die
We're never gonna die
How did we get so high?
You barely even pierced the skin
