Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I find you in the morning

After dreams of distant signs

You pour yourself over me

Like the sun through the blinds

[Verse 2]

You lift me up and get me out

Keep me walking, but never shout

"Hold the secret close"

I hear you say

[Chorus]

You know the way it throws about

It takes you in and spits you out

It spits you out when you desire

To conquer it, to feel you're higher

[Chorus]

To follow it, you must be clean

With mistakes that you do mean

Move the heart, switch the pace

Look for what seems out of place

[Verse 3]

On and on it goes

Calling like a distant wind

But through the zero hour, we'll walk

We'll cut the thick and break the thin

[Verse 4]

No sound to break, no moment clear

When all the doubts are crystal clear

Crashing hard into the secret wind

[Chorus]

You know the way it twists and turns

Changing color, spinning yarns

You know the way it leaves you dry

It cuts you up and takes you high

[Chorus]

You know the way it's painted gold

Is it honey? Is it cold?

You know the way it throws about

It takes you in and spits you out

[Bridge]

Cuts you up

Cuts you up

Cuts you up

[Chorus]

You know the way it throws about

It takes you in and spits you out

It spits you out when you desire

To conquer it, to feel you're higher

[Chorus]

To follow it, you must be clean

With mistakes that you do mean

Move the heart, switch the pace

Look for what seems out of place

[Bridge]

Cuts you up

Cuts you up

[Outro]

It's okay, it goes this way

The line, it twists, it twists away

Cuts you up and spits you out

Keeps you walking, but never shout

It's okay, it goes this way

The line, it twists, it twists away

Cuts you up and spits you out

Keeps you walking, but never shout
