lyrics

Lyrics:
"So you had enough
if you ever need to talk about it
take the bluff
sometimes it's better when you say it for yourself
I know
It's not the charming way to shout
but what's the point if you never get to live it out loud
afraid of what will happen if you fall down
touch the ground
it's not as far as you think it sounds

But would you write enough
if you could have every thing you touch
what would you gain from a short cut
Out of breath is no match for us

I wouldn't call you a hunter
but you're alright with a good kill
the satisfactions gonna keep you ill
and it will bite you harder if you stand still

But thats not enough
like-are you ever gonna want it
nice and rough
like how you thought it when we first met
fair enough
it's the weight that keeps the boat docked
so while you're loving with a side eye turned
to the wide horizon
it's a rising line reminding you
time can fly and it's never gonna live your lie

but would you write enough
if you could have every thing you want
what would you learn from a short cut
Out of breath is no match for us

i wouldn't call you a hunter
but you're alright with a good kill
the satisfactions gonna keep you still
and it will bite you harder if you don't move

So you've got it all figured out
got good advice
so you don't need my help
and if you wanted to
you'd take the solo way through
there's no place for loose
in your tight space of youth

soo if you're wanting it all
why are you taking so long
you've gotta a lot to lose
Don't let them see you through

You've got it all up in you
you've got it all up in you
i've never seen it leave you"
