Lyrics Low Sun Long Shadow - Arsenal

We used to sit around, idolise idle highs
Kick days away like lazy old flies
Keeping the doors all closed and the windows
Trying to add a little hit to the miss
Climbing up ladders, slipping down snakes
We want to go fast but we put on the brakes
Keeping the doors all closed and the windows
Trying to add a little laughter to this
Double XL sized eyes
Imagining everything bright like stage lights
But nothing we touched seemed to have much gold in
Much gold or heart and soul in
Growing up fast like small increases
All that hope in slow releases, slow releases

Low sun, long shadow
Low sun, long shadow

We used to think about how to live perfect lives
No house, no cars, no kids, no wives
No making all the ends meet, balancing the balance sheet
We want to free fall all the way down
No fire living in a cold flat, evening up with not much
Living like an old cat curled up
Makes a lot of sense to your soul
When you want to free fall all the way down
Everything felt like something happening
Everyone felt like someone
But nothing we touched seemed to have much focus
Just loudness and it broke us
Growing up fast like small increases
All that hope in slow releases, slow releases

Low sun, long shadow
Low sun, long shadow
Low sun, long shadow
It was only yesterday but it looks so far away
Low sun, long shadow
It was only yesterday but the colour's fallen away

One day soon, I'll see words slip down walls
I hear light drop, I hear shadows breaking its fall
Conjure a sign and I can make it sing
I want to find the dark in the heart of the mothering spring
Follow the lines and take the steps that leave no prints
I want to find the source of the light at the end of the perfect tense
One day soon, I'll see words slip down walls
I hear light drop, I hear shadows breaking its fall
Conjure a sign and I can make it sing
I want to find the dark in the beating heart of everything

Low sun, long shadow
Low sun, long shadow
It was only yesterday but it looks so far away
Low sun, long shadow
It was only yesterday but the colour's fallen away
