Eyes As Candles (Album Version) - Passion Pit

Eyes As Candles (Album Version) LRC歌词

[00:38.19]My world is stirring sickly

[00:42.54]spits out our voices singing,

[00:46.68]"Sha la la, oh, no no,"

[00:50.51]to kingdom come so slightly.

[00:53.88]Here in the void in your place,

[00:57.82]I twitch and tweak illusions

[01:01.27]to sit and stare so blankly

[01:05.18]into our whole confused house.

[01:08.90]

[01:09.70]Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeing?

[01:12.79]Where do you go when I'm around?

[01:16.25]What have I done? What have I lost that's so defeating?

[01:20.53]And have the nerve to wear the crown?

[01:23.77]

[01:24.44]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[01:27.88]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[01:31.56]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[01:35.34]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[01:37.84]

[01:38.54]Some unguarded room:

[01:40.75]a smoky figure fills me full,

[01:44.55]makes my head swell and move.

[01:48.68]My family kneels at the pew,

[01:51.65]They nod, "We believe in what you're doing!"

[01:55.62]I feel you rise above me,

[01:58.55]the western landscape's towering,

[02:02.54]and from my shell of a body

[02:06.21]the flowers blossom for picking.

[02:09.82]

[02:10.52]Why do I always need to need you when you're fleeing?

[02:13.71]Where do you go when I'm around?

[02:17.09]What have I done, what have I got that's so defeating?

[02:21.41]And have the nerve to wear the crown?

[02:24.40]

[02:25.16]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[02:28.80]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[02:32.43]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[02:36.38]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[02:40.25]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[02:43.96]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[02:47.75]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[02:51.56]Na na na na na na, hey! hey!

[02:55.04]

[02:55.81]I've waited and waited for someone to take it.

[03:02.33]Don't fight it, don't bother an inch for another.

[03:10.10]Don't listen, don't hear them, they're in this together.

[03:17.19]I've learned well, now hear me, there's much to be fearing.

[03:22.02]I'm used to your absence, your faceless distraction.

[03:26.01]I've painted your problems but found them attractive.

[03:29.75]Now I've been leaning towards a life far more caring,

[03:33.37]thrown back through the dark with your eyes as my candles,

[03:37.22]and your life, and my life, directions can render.

[03:40.78]And all of a sudden you left me to handle

[03:44.73]the reasons that never forbid me to step out.

[03:48.56]And somehow or somewhere I found out the secret -

[03:52.60]To say it aloud without actually breathing.

[03:57.79]
