Lyrics

Earth Is Speeding

Moving too fast but it all seems so slow
Pushing too hard is it time to let go
Know what is wanted don't know how to get it
Gone over the edge gone over the limit
How can you start when there's no way to finish
Just wanna give up not in it to win it
You point the finger and I lose the fight
Would it be wrong if I said not tonight
L's in the basement and sun in my eyes
You think I don't notice this unlikely disguise
You count it in I count it out
It's all gone quiet so there's no need to shout
It's kinda stressful but under such pressure
They say to be careful for what you should wish for
I'll spin the bottle and you throw the dice
Don't take it to heart when there's no surprise
L's in the basement and sun in my eyes
You think I don't notice this unlikely disguise
You count it in I count it out
It's all gone quiet so there's no need to shout
L's in the basement and sun in my eyes
You think I don't notice this unlikely disguise
You count it in I count it out
It's all gone quiet so there's no need to shout
No need to shout
No need to shout
No need to shout
No need to shout
