Always Getting What You Want

Borders that we say are policing you back to their arms

Tension to take, pills that'll make you feel higher inside

Do you often look back on us, feeling confidently?

Would it make any difference if I wasn't late

Or I'd been too angry to show?

The sovereign statement's wrong

It's a bylaw and a valiant one

To honor hopeful thoughts

It's the talent, not the promo shots

Story has shown you all felt alone

Story has shown you all felt alone

Even if... if the sound it makes when it's tightening

Sweet winding up of a mandolin hurts your fingers

And you try to hold on but it's not quite working

This reminds me of the sound you make when we disagree

Story has shown you all felt alone

Story has shown you all felt alone

Even if you've been so close you're not alone anymore

Still we grow

Still we grow

Even if it reminds me of the sound you always used to make

Story has shown you all felt alone

Story has shown you all felt alone

Even if you've been so close you're not alone anymore

Still we grow

Still we grow
