Lyrics

[00:16.76] Have you ever been compelled
[00:20.34] Under a spell
[00:22.81] From a protagonist who knows you far too well
[00:26.73] Have you ever been undone
[00:30.04] By a slip of the tongue
[00:33.13] and betrayed a side of you that felt hard won
[00:36.75] So we watch the water swell
[00:40.06] From a Scottish hotel
[00:42.61] Have you ever fell
[00:43.71] Have you ever fell
[00:46.59] Are you gonna tell me why
[00:48.35] There's a backpack by the bedroom window
[00:51.55] It's a pack of lies
[00:53.92] Everything has to reach a peak sometime
[00:56.87] Tell me why
[00:58.75] There's a map lain flat on the bedside table
[01:01.75] It's a pack of lies
[01:03.86] It's not a peak, it's a plateau
[01:07.33] Let me know
[01:09.57] When you wanna leave this island
[01:12.06] Let me know
[01:14.38] When you wanna hear my point of view
[01:28.24] In the observation lounge
[01:31.25] Couples ready to pounce
[01:34.19] But there's a reticence from treading icy ground
[01:38.15] So we watch the water swell
[01:41.34] From a Scottish hotel
[01:43.92] Have you ever fell
[01:45.18] Have you ever fell
[01:47.97] Are you gonna tell me why
[01:49.93] There's a backpack by the bedroom window
[01:52.76] It's a pack of lies
[01:54.91] Everything has to reach a peak sometime
[01:58.11] Tell me why
[01:59.95] There's a map lain flat on the bedside table
[02:03.05] It's a pack of lies
[02:05.30] It's not a peak, it's a plateau
[02:08.36] Let me know
[02:10.80] When you wanna leave this island
[02:13.48] Let me know
[02:15.43] When you wanna hear my point of view
[02:18.76] Let me know
[02:20.96] When you wanna leave this island
[02:23.75] Let me know
[02:26.07] When you wanna hear my point of view
[02:30.96] I'll stand up for you
[02:36.12] I'll stand up for you
[02:40.96] I'll stand up for you
[02:59.62] I will act as a semaphore
[03:04.60] I will guide you to a perfect landing
[03:09.77] I will act as a distant shore
[03:14.92] I will aim to be the last man standing for you
[03:19.98] I will act as a semaphore
[03:25.09] I will guide you to a perfect landing
[03:32.36] I'll stand up for you
[03:37.31] I'll stand up for you
[03:42.42] When you wanna leave this island
[03:47.81] When you wanna hear my point of view
