lyrics

You feel the weight

Giving all it’s force

To only be released

When you're new again



There in the back are the red flags, got em in a row

They're snapping, grabbing your hand

But you know they're gonna let go

Flapping just for show, pulling at a bow



You can't, no you can't, no you can't, no you can’t

No you can’t, no you can’t, no you can’t

You can’t wait all your life

You can't know, you can't know, you can’t know

You can’t know, you can’t know, you can’t know

You can’t, you can’t know when it's time



You paint up your face

Put holes in the wall

Pick your shoes and now for a walk

Then turn the lights off

Let's find you some space

Here's all you can crawl

Ch-ch-choose the time you can talk

And show your belly off

We've got aims

To go out alive

We buy booze on saturday night

A crew, crew accrues

Hot from the drain

You don't know know know what you want

No, you're giving it up

But to glorify who?



Hopping like a spot on the window

Backseat of a car

You're crossing, un-crossing your eyes

Don't you let em hit the phone pole

Duck em down below

Lose em in the snow



You can't, no you can't

You can't wait all your life



You feel the weight

Giving all its force

To only be released

When you're new again



You'll study every little word

You'll pick its heart out

You'll beat the air until it blurs

You'll wear your arms out

Pull away, pull away
