Lyrics
0:30What is it that I want?
0:34How long is it that I want it?
0:38Met you first, fifth of August
0:42End of May, 2064
0:45Bend your knees in the forest
0:49Bend your knees when you crawl inside
0:53You believed I was flawless
0:57I believe
0:59That the only
1:01Way it's ever gonna stop
1:03Is when desperation grows
1:07It point out
1:09All the places on the map
1:11Where there's fragrant lemon groves
1:15Don't forget that
1:16Everything is fake here
1:18Built for face and all for show
1:22Place a shoulder
1:24Deeper in the corner
1:26And the whole thing takes the floor
1:30Original
1:33To pray for sudden death
1:37Original
1:40I wear your summer dress
1:45I'm nostalgic for life that
1:48I'm not sure was ever even mine
1:52Did I fix up houses weekends?
1:56Was I a house painter, weekend I
2:00Driving cars out of Egypt
2:04Egyptian car driver animal
2:08Love it best when it's weakest
2:12Love you best then
2:14By the water
2:17Tower physical
2:20Is the ransom cost of rain
2:23Every autumn
2:25Is a little shorter
2:28Every nape provides a name
2:31It's prophetic
2:33Semper with the panic
2:35And it absolutely moves
2:39I'm more heinous, pointless and more famous
2:43Than a single family room
2:47It's original
2:50To pray for sudden death
2:53Original
2:57I wear your summer dress
3:30And though we're naked
3:33We're still difficult to find
3:34From a pine and needle tree
3:37As a concept, it's an empty one
3:41Not a substance of belief
3:45Then as nothing
3:47I reclaim as nothing
3:49Bear the canyon absolutely
3:53It's lurching how much I'm reminded
3:57There's a cost of absolution
4:02Original
4:06To pray for sudden death
4:10Original
4:13I wear your summer dress
4:16I remember it all
4:20I never could forget
4:23Not reaching up
4:27It's stapled on my back
4:31Not reaching up
4:37Not reaching up
What is it that I want? How long is it that I want it? Met you first, fifth of August End of May, 2064 Bend your knees in the forest Bend your knees when you crawl inside You believed I was flawless I believe That the only Way it's ever gonna stop Is when desperation grows It point out All the places on the map Where there's fragrant lemon groves Don't forget that Everything is fake here Built for face and all for show Place a shoulder Deeper in the corner And the whole thing takes the floor Original To pray for sudden death Original I wear your summer dress I'm nostalgic for life that I'm not sure was ever even mine Did I fix up houses weekends? Was I a house painter, weekend I Driving cars out of Egypt Egyptian car driver animal Love it best when it's weakest Love you best then By the water Tower physical Is the ransom cost of rain Every autumn Is a little shorter Every nape provides a name It's prophetic Semper with the panic And it absolutely moves I'm more heinous, pointless and more famous Than a single family room It's original To pray for sudden death Original I wear your summer dress And though we're naked We're still difficult to find From a pine and needle tree As a concept, it's an empty one Not a substance of belief Then as nothing I reclaim as nothing Bear the canyon absolutely It's lurching how much I'm reminded There's a cost of absolution Original To pray for sudden death Original I wear your summer dress I remember it all I never could forget Not reaching up It's stapled on my back Not reaching up Not reaching up
