paroles de chanson Moving Cars - laura stevenson

Nothing creeps like measured time
And nothing brings you to your knees quite like it when it's right
The shaking ground won't spit you back out, no ringing bells
And we can only blame ourselves

No one teaches you to breathe
Slow and feeble like the people that we said we'd never be
The vulgar kind, fool become a gust then numb
Saying crazy things in anger

In the face of those I love, am I the sort who's
Jumping out of sight on moving cars?
I'm wide awake under supposing Perseid views
Could I stop before I let it get too far?
And if I told you that I needed it to end?

No one mourned it like I'd done
In all our hypotheticals, our "for instances" and our wars
I held your tongue between my teeth
Still, why do we face each other while we sleep?
Keep appointments faithfully
When we know that everything is faulty like a stone?

Patience thins out like a sleeve
And prisms clang in chandeliers in houses built on top of hills
And I'm too proud to lift my hand and set it down
Down on top of yours as we are staring out

In the face of those I love, am I the sort who's
Jumping out of sight on moving cars?
I'm wide awake under supposing Perseid views
Could I stop before I let it get too far?
And if I told you that I needed it to end?
If I told you that I needed it to end
If I told you that I needed it to end, hmm
