Lyrics

From All Sides

[Verse 1]

Here in the open

Cool as a hand in the dark

Near as the voices that hang in the air

They're coming through

Caught in the moment

Sweetness that weakens the heart

Gone, like the shadows that follow me there

They're coming through you

[Chorus]

Constantly killing me, when you're invading my mind

You got it covered, I can't get a thought in edgewise

Well with your fast lips, and not a gap missed

Seems like the memories are coming at me from all sides

You're all I see, surrounding me

From all sides

You're all I see, surrounding me

[Verse 2]

Booms, like a system

Swallows the sense of me whole

Love is the weapon that chases me there

Rushing to you

I'm the island, you're the ocean that's

[Chorus]

Constantly killing me, when you're invading my mind

You got it covered, I can't get a thought in edgewise

Well with your fast lips, and not a gap missed

Seems like the memories are coming at me from all sides

You're all I see, surrounding me

From all sides

You're all I see, surrounding me

[Bridge]

Arms, like orbits

Where you have me

Barely noticed, falling madly

From all sides

[Chorus]

Constantly killing me, when you're invading my mind

You got it covered, I can't get a thought in edgewise

Well with your fast lips, and not a gap missed

Seems like the memories are coming at me from all sides

You're all I see, surrounding me

From all sides

You're all I see, surrounding me

[Outro]

Constantly killing me, when you're invading my mind

You've got it covered, I can't get a thought in edgewise

Well with your fast lips, and not a gap missed

Seems like the memories are coming at me from all sides

Coming at me from all sides
