Lyrics

[00:30.31] I find you in the morning
[00:33.59] After dreams of distant signs
[00:36.72] You pour yourself over me
[00:39.82] Like the sun through the blinds
[00:44.10] You lift me up
[00:45.63] And get me out
[00:47.09] Keep me walking
[00:48.89] But never shout
[00:51.10] Hold the secret close
[00:52.73]
[00:53.24] I hear you say
[00:55.48]
[00:58.79] You know the way
[01:00.32] It throws about
[01:02.11] It takes you in
[01:03.44] And spits you out
[01:05.49] It spits you out
[01:07.06] When you desire
[01:09.48] To conquer it
[01:10.80] To feel you're higher
[01:12.83] To follow it
[01:14.26] You must be clean
[01:16.26] With mistakes
[01:17.65] That you do mean
[01:19.84] Move the heart
[01:21.00] Switch the pace
[01:22.86] Look for what seems out of place
[01:24.40]
[01:31.39]
[01:42.06] On and on it goes
[01:44.95] Calling like a distant wind
[01:48.38] Through the zero hour we'll walk
[01:51.76] Cut the thick and break the thin
[01:55.20] No sound to break no moment clear
[01:58.99] When all the doubts are crystal clear
[02:02.85] Crashing hard into the secret wind
[02:03.81]
[02:09.69] You know the way
[02:11.84] It twists and turns
[02:13.95] Changing colour
[02:15.35] Spinning yarns
[02:17.02] You know the way
[02:18.62] It leaves you dry
[02:20.83] It cuts you up
[02:21.72] And takes you high
[02:24.00] You know the way
[02:25.67] It's painted gold
[02:28.00] Is it honey
[02:29.22] Is it cold
[02:31.16] You know the way
[02:32.88] It throws about
[02:34.81] It takes you in
[02:36.18] And spits you out
[02:38.14] oh... cuts you up
[02:44.90] oh... cuts you up
[02:52.18] oh... cuts you up (lalalalala...
[03:04.43]
[03:35.71] You know the way
[03:37.41] It throws about
[03:39.22] It takes you in
[03:40.43] And spits you out
[03:42.90] It spits you out
[03:44.27] When you desire
[03:46.38] To conquer it
[03:47.93] To feel you're higher
[03:50.14] To follow it
[03:51.63] You must be clean
[03:53.58] With mistakes
[03:54.93] That you do mean
[03:56.88] Move the heart
[03:57.85] Switch the pace
[03:59.95] Look for what
[04:00.85] Seems out of place
[04:03.63] oh... cuts you up
[04:10.82] oh... cuts you up
[04:14.20]
[04:18.17] It's o.k.
[04:19.55] It goes this way
[04:21.24] The line it twists
[04:22.71] It twists away
[04:24.86] Cuts you up
[04:26.23] and spits you out
[04:28.52] Keeps you walking
[04:30.18] But never shout.
[04:32.32] repeat
[04:45.85] lalalalalalalalala......
