Grip

From Other People’s Heartache (Pt. 4)2018

Written by Dan Smith, Earwulf, Espen Berg

Lyrics

Grip

[Verse 1]

As the night time bleeds into the day

Tomorrow spills across the sky

And the sun's a harsh reminder why

We are feeling barely human

[Pre-Chorus]

We don’t know what's good for us

'Cause if we did, we might not do it

Who knows where our limits lie?

We won't discover till we push it

[Chorus]

I should just walk away, walk away

But it grips me, it grips me

When I should call it a day, and make my way

Oh, it grips me

'Cause the devil’s got my arms ('Cause the devil's got my arms)

And it pulls me back into the night

When I should just walk away, away

Oh, it grips me

'Cause the devil’s got my arms

[Drop]

'Cause the devil's got my arms

And it pulls me back into the night

[Verse 2]

We got drunk on this unholy wine

To deliver us from our old minds

The promise of a better time

Till we're feeling barely human

[Pre-Chorus]

We don't know what's good for us

'Cause if we did, we might not do it

Who knows where our limits lie?

We won't discover till we push it

[Chorus]

'Cause the devil's got my arms ('Cause the devil's got my arms)

And it pulls me back into the night

When I should just walk away, away

Oh, it grips me

'Cause the devil's got my arms

[Drop]

And it pulls me back into the night

The devil's got my arms

And it pulls me back into the night

[Bridge]

I would rather forget

And wash my memory clean

Oh, I would rather forget

And wash my memory clean

I would rather forget (I would rather forget)

Wash my memory clean (Wash my memory clean)

I would rather forget (I would rather forget)

Wash my memory clean

[Drop]

'Cause the devil's got my arms

And it pulls me back into the night

The devil's got my arms

'Cause the devil's got my arms

And it pulls me back into the night

And it pulls me back into the night
