Lyrics

Motion

[Verse 1]

Forgot the past

Living on the ropes

Moving too fast

Somewhere in the fold

A little cash

In an envelope

Hidden under the flagpole

Just like you asked

You can go out on the road

Act like no one else is owed

When you finally come back home

Waiting for the same old tone

[Pre-Chorus]

Think I'm stuck in overdrive

Trying to live a million lives

Find a way to compromise

[Chorus]

We can't stop the motion

Open doors are closing shut

We could live forever

Would forever be enough

[Verse 2]

I'm out of moves

Sitting at the red

Game of Armageddon

Start the car and get in

Just cut me loose

I'm dizzy in my head

Lost all perception

I'm changing my direction

[Pre-Chorus]

Think I'm stuck in overdrive

Trying to live a million lives

Find a way to compromise

[Chorus]

We can't stop the motion

Open doors are closing shut

We could live forever

Would forever be enough

We can't stop the motion

Open doors are closing shut

We could live forever

Would forever be enough
