Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You can almost set your watch to it, the mind intuits
Every line you will one day cross
Nearly traceable to the vows you make and the lines you draw
I walked right in to that big tailspin and couldn't unsee what I saw
You and your London eyes, blue as a vein, free and lost
[PreChorus]
Perfectly ordinary the day I crossed
That long road with your fast car coming
[Chorus]
Something's got to give, got to move, got to make it out alive
Whether or not you decide to let the wound bleed out this time
Cut the fence, turn the phrase, the workaround won't take
If you get out while it's whole or stay long enough to break it
[Verse 2]
Staring down that purple sun
I hear your voice, but I feel no one
But I put that symbol up to my eye
Did I get your love at the cost of my mind?
My mind
[Verse 3]
Shells and bones and waterfront homes are bound to wash away in that flood
Those polluted waters you keep holding off and drinking from
I see you too well to let you tell me you're nothing but ruins your father made
We've all stood under those skeleton trees hoping for shade
Above, beside, beneath, you'll find a way
You'll find a way
[Chorus]
Something's got to give, got to move, got to make it out alive
Whether or not you decide to acknowledge it this time
Kill the sound, cut the wire, the workaround won't take
If you get out while it's whole or stay long enough to break it
[Verse 4]
Standing too close to be sure
Who I am or who you were
But I held that infant in my arms
Did I get your love at the price of my heart?
[Bridge]
The gears are grinding away and you're wasting this running water
I don't trust what you say, but I've come to lose my faith in everyone
[Verse 5]
And it's righteous as our youth and guilt
It's getting harder to unquilt
I pull my body out of that crash
Just banking on this feeling to pass
Sometimes I can hear the river sing
When the channels open up to me
[Refrain]
When it's a little too narrow, little too wide
To call it ground, or to call it sky
It's a little too narrow, little too wide
To bury your head in your hands this time
[Outro]
It's a little too narrow, little too wide
A little too narrow, a little too wide
It's a little too narrow, little too wide
To bury your head in your hands this time
