lyrics
Telephones and Traffic lights
Always waiting for the right time
Cross the line and pick up walking
Never waiting for a sign
I've waited there
It did not show
So disregard I've overthrown
I've picked me up
Dusted off
And fall back in
I'm so messed up
And a weight
Bigger then me is in practice here
And the earth is levelling me
And I know all that was said corrected now
But your force still drags me
Hours feel like months and years
I'm growing old with my impatience
But I won't go out quietly
I'll shout until it's found
While all the worlds fast asleep
A dim light flickers on at me
You’ve turned it up, turned it off
You closed the door with my foot stuck
And a weight
Bigger then me is in practice here
And the earth is levelling me
And I know all that was said corrected now
But your force still drags me
Please give me back the parts that I forgot
The ride broke down but you won't let me off
And a weight
Bigger then me is in practice here
And the earth is levelling me
And I know all that was said corrected now
But your force still drags me
