lyrics

This grey room
This bunker
The air is humming
Us to sleep

While outside
The city hurry
The endless worry
Is out of reach

Promise me you’ll never leave this room
A million years from now would be too soon

The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer cuz I needed proof
That every door I shut’s leading me to you
And there’s a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
Absolutely still

We were running
From the same noise
We were stuck in
The same pursuit

Now the door’s locked
I find that
The dizzy madness
Is bleeding thru

Promise me you’ll never leave this room
A million years from now would be too soon

The world is spinning turning day to night
And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
Absolutely still
I waited longer cuz I needed proof
That every door I shut’s leading me to you
And there’s a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
Absolutely still

I’ll go anywhere you want tonight
Cuz my head is spinning like a satellite
I got a restless feeling that i never want to fill
I’m absolutely still
