lyrics

There's an acre of land in the city
Bout a mile from the steps at my door
And I can't believe it's a secret
I'd take to the grave if I could
I claim to be, endlessly
Asleep beneath the sky
but I'm wide awake
Sirens at my windows
Screaming at the night

Tell me a secret, and I'll tell you mine
We're all just taking an inch at a time

Four in sixteen out I'm
pretending to breath
Four in sixteen out
I think I should leave
But something's always running
Laps inside my head
I get as far as the traffic lights
Before It kicks in

Here it comes
Like the lingering rain on grass
this feeling's not built to last
But you can't help it ruining your picnic plans
There it goes
a violent lightning bolt
Purple forks and the sky explodes
Why did I think that time would give conviction
Staring up at my own ambition
You said someday soon I'll feel it
But I don't believe I'm worth it
Time is ticking slower for me now

Tell me a secret, and I'll tell you mine

I claim to be, carelessly
Fleeing from goodbyes
but I can't run a mile
Without turning back to cry
I'm standing in my fiction
Watching lightning
Take the sky

Tell me a secret And I'll tell you mine
I've got a plan to be here for quite a while
