Friction

I get down with the victim
We both know you need them
You're stuck in the middle
Of all irrelevance

And your heart is beating
'Cause you know that you gotta
Get out of the middle
And rise to the top now

When you've made it, won't you tell me what to do?
'Cause I'm playin' it all wrong
When you've made it (when you've made it), won't you tell me what to do?
'Cause I'm playin' it all wrong

You can't fight the friction, so, ease it off
You can't take the pressure, so, ease it off
Don't tell me to be strong, ease it off
You can't fight the friction, so, ease it off

And get into the system
We both know you need one
At the tip of the needle
It's taking over you

And your heart is beating
'Cause you know that you gotta
Get out of the middle
And rise to the top now

When you've made it, won't you tell me what to do?
'Cause I'm playin' it all wrong
When you've made it (when you've made it), won't you tell me what to do?
'Cause I'm playin' it all wrong

You can't fight the friction, so, ease it off
You can't take the pressure, so, ease it off
Don't tell me to be strong, ease it off
You can't fight the friction, so, ease it off

Oh, why can't you let it go?
Like a bird in the snow
This is no place to build your home

You can't fight the friction, so, ease it off
You can't take the pressure, so, ease it off
Don't tell me to be strong, ease it off
You can't fight the friction, so

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
