X Ambassadors - Tropisms lyrics

Don’t you know the time ain’t right? Don’t you know the knot’s untied? Why can’t I feel the lights burn low? It’s nothing I could ever know And if the clocks won’t run We’ll put legs on the sun And quiet only comes once a year Nothing you have to fear Can’t you hear the growl of the night? Feeling that my shoes don’t fit right Stepping out into a concert hall Playing for nobody at all I think you’d better hand me the keys Baby, you make me so uneasy It’s always better in the back of the room Don’t you know that I’ll be out of here soon? And I don’t know much of anything anymore Only know how to take my fill My fill of the water I’ve spilled Hey! So tell me when it all runs out And maybe then I’ll be ready I think we better not brave the weather Just so we can lay here together I’m so tired of being always wrong I’m so tired of always being where I thought I belonged So sure my city isn’t always safe But I know my city isn’t always afraid Why don’t you ever wanna talk to me? Why don’t you ever wanna give it all away for free? I’ll stop at nothing ‘til I get my share 'Cause, baby, I’m not the only one who cares And I don’t know much of anything anymore Only know that I called you home You're the only one I’ve ever known And maybe it’s not coming in on the next flight Or shooting up like dynamite Oh, I wish I had a second chance at it all I’d give myself another chance And baby I’ve been resting my body on a bed of nails Smell that fire and I’ll inhale And, baby, I’ve been restin’ my body on a bed of knives Trying to figure out how to stay alive
