This song was written about an unfortunate night I had with my ex-girlfriend. We'd just come back from a concert and I had a terrible panic attack, and basically kept her up for the entire night - then I wrote this song because I felt pretty bad.
lyrics
Tumbling forward, struggling to see
Reach for the light ‘cos it’s our closest thing.
Feel the walls closing, getting hard to breathe
Guess this night isn’t all that it seems.
So we, so we
Stay awake just to watch the sunrise, we’re intertwined, in each others eyes
Hold me now ‘cos the time is just right, I’m paralysed, and I’m set alight
Sink the ship I’m about to capsize, am I alive in this dream tonight?
Hold me now ‘cos my heart is on fire
And you’re my satellite
Hear the door closing, as I count to three
Run for our lives search for freedom within
Feel your heart pounding, we start to believe
For tonight we can stitch up these seams
So we, so we
Stay awake just to watch the sunrise, we’re intertwined, in each others eyes
Hold me now ‘cos the time is just right, I’m paralysed, and I’m set alight
Sink the ship I’m about to capsize, am I alive in this dream tonight?
Hold me now ‘cos my heart is on fire
And you’re my satellite
Stay awake just to watch the sunrise, we’re intertwined, in each others eyes
Hold me now ‘cos the time is just right, I’m paralysed, and I’m set alight
Sink the ship I’m about to capsize, am I alive in this dream tonight?
Hold me now ‘cos my heart is on fire
And you’re my satellite
