Lyrics

Perpetuum Mobile

Hold on, we're not even close
It's just a matter of time before these knots unwind
Don't wait, there's nothing here to save
But it's been a magical ride, swimming against the tide

I've seen the waves roll by
They drown the passing time
With open hands
All this time we wondered where it went

Try to erase the lines from your hands
I don't know what you've been told, don't wait for it to unfold
Perpetual, we're just appearing to fall
Imagine the things you'll become when you're friends with everyone

I've seen the waves roll by
They drown the passing time
With open hands
All this time we wondered where it went

Don't sigh, the stakes aren't high
What's there to decide?
I won't put up a fight
I'll watch from the side

How long have we been out here?
The machine lingered on, didn't know we were gone
But hold on, we're not even close
It's just a matter of time before these knots unwind

I've seen the waves roll by
They drown the passing time
With open hands
All this time we wondered where it went
