Lyrics

No one gets what they wanted

When you feel the rhythm changing
You know it's time to just
Leave it on the table
Leave it all behind

Start by going out at midnight
Walking while they sleep
See no one out there
Nobody there sees me

I have been wrong about green
Been wrong about blue
What makes us evil
What makes this whole thing move

It's like an eagle
But a bird that has no wings
So it's just this delicate
Just this pointless
Delicate thing

It's gives no reason
Just standing there
Form like an island
You catch me when I'm staring
Don't make it easy
Don't take too long
Last thing I wanted
Was to ever get it wrong

But maybe it's alright no one gets what they wanted
I'd be more inclined to be less of a fucker
I heard what you said
I admit
I was losing it
But now I'm breathing in
Now I'm feeling it

Maybe it's alright
No one gets to the bottom
All of this pain
That we carry like the ocean
I heard what you said
I admit
I was losing it
But now I'm breathing in
Now I'm feeling it too

And by the time you reach the corner
You will grow sure
That the sound beneath the concrete is
Not a train but something more
Just that quiet voice unceasing
Slow repeating in his tone
Calling every word a question
Every act atonement
You have been right about me
I was out of control
Does that make me human?
Does that make you want me more?
Am I like an eagle
Bird that's got no lungs
So it's just this delicate
Just this pointless delicate tongue
Both of our fathers
Less than we'd hoped
Talk shit for hours about
Ways that we could change it
But nothings easy
And nothings fair
Last thing I wanted
Was to ever leave them there

But maybe it's alright no one gets what they wanted
I'd be more inclined to be less of a fucker
I heard what you said
I admit
I was losing it
Now i'm breathing in
Now i'm feeling it

Maybe it's alright
No one gets to the bottom
All of this pain
That we carry like the ocean
I heard what you said
I admit
I was losing it
Now i'm breathing in
Now i'm feeling it too

And if the premise of the love that i have offered you is sound
Then nothing else could ever change that
And if the water in the valley gets too high
The dam starts breaking

But maybe it's alright no one gets what they wanted
I'd be more inclined to be less of a fucker
I heard what you said
I admit
I was losing it
Now i'm breathing in
Now i'm feeling it

Maybe it's alright
No one gets to the bottom
All of this pain
That we carry like the ocean
I Heard what you said
I admit
I was losing it
Now i'm breathing in
Now i'm feeling it too
