Guillemots - Over the Stairs lyrics
[Guillemots - Over the Stairs lyrics]
December swallows september snowmen
Somebody told me there's another time
But to get there you go somewhere
Somewhere over the stairs
They don't have seasons
They don't live for a reason
And everything is painted in
The brightest tones
Where they came from I don't know
But they're telling me to go
With them over the stairs
I had the clearest picture
Running down the streets in time
Of all these foreign creatures
Fighting for me see it in the sunrise
See it in the sunset
Oh there's something more here
There's got to be but we hide it and deny it
Fighting over the money and rhymes
So bring monsters and I will slay them
God I used to feel like I
Could fly all the time
Where it's all gone I don't know
You need to lift before you throw
And anyway you're throwing sand
I had the clearest picture
Running down the street all the time
Of angels and their teacher fighting for me
Yes, there's cameras in the Bible
And I don't need a rival
And everywhere was sound
I never touched the ground
And every word I found was so new, so loud
They've got the brightest pictures
Running down the streets in time
These iridescent creatures fighting for me
Somebody told me there's another time
But to get there you go somewhere
Somewhere over the stairs
They don't have seasons
They don't live for a reason
And everything is painted in
The brightest tones
Where they came from I don't know
But they're telling me to go
With them over the stairs
I had the clearest picture
Running down the streets in time
Of all these foreign creatures
Fighting for me see it in the sunrise
See it in the sunset
Oh there's something more here
There's got to be but we hide it and deny it
Fighting over the money and rhymes
So bring monsters and I will slay them
God I used to feel like I
Could fly all the time
Where it's all gone I don't know
You need to lift before you throw
And anyway you're throwing sand
I had the clearest picture
Running down the street all the time
Of angels and their teacher fighting for me
Yes, there's cameras in the Bible
And I don't need a rival
And everywhere was sound
I never touched the ground
And every word I found was so new, so loud
They've got the brightest pictures
Running down the streets in time
These iridescent creatures fighting for me
