Skittish - Due lyrics
[Skittish - Due lyrics]
I heard there's a rhythm to all living things
A time signature swinging us through our days
In a 13
8 scheme, I'm unique but often off beat
But down round the belt, so solid so sure
thumping their bibles in a perfect 4 4
Sometimes I wish my convictions
Were stronger in stance
Than a tempo too awkward to dance
I said, "Hey
I've never been in time with the traffic
Or the tide but I'm due"
I'm in the back, with a cynical smile
The sounds of the psalms
Ricocheting off the walls
I said, "How was your talk?"
She said, "It helps mе feel comforted
Connected, and lovеd"
So I packed up my ugliness and
I sank, the beast sank, we sank out the door
Down into the snowy night where I made
An angel for her
Now I know of a teacup twirling through space
I know of a monster at the bottom of a lake
I know a ghost who still balks at the
Thought of a treaty
In the bout of doubt versus faith
I said, "Hey
I've never been right a whole day
In my life but I'm due"
Slaying the clouds their carcass in flight
Are heavenly spears of sunlight
Just down the river, is the one that I love
But freedom is options, and I got none
Cause, I met a girl who
Was soft and was white
I said, "Are you an angel?"
And she stretched out a smile
I smelled her real strong and was numb
For a night and was gone
Her toes curled a grip over
The carved stone ledge
She said, "Stop me if you love me"
And her knees started to bend
I gave a good reach, all I got was a
Thread now she's gone
Cause snow angels melt in the morning
I said, "Hey
I've never loved like they sing of
In song but I'm due"
A time signature swinging us through our days
In a 13
8 scheme, I'm unique but often off beat
But down round the belt, so solid so sure
thumping their bibles in a perfect 4 4
Sometimes I wish my convictions
Were stronger in stance
Than a tempo too awkward to dance
I said, "Hey
I've never been in time with the traffic
Or the tide but I'm due"
I'm in the back, with a cynical smile
The sounds of the psalms
Ricocheting off the walls
I said, "How was your talk?"
She said, "It helps mе feel comforted
Connected, and lovеd"
So I packed up my ugliness and
I sank, the beast sank, we sank out the door
Down into the snowy night where I made
An angel for her
Now I know of a teacup twirling through space
I know of a monster at the bottom of a lake
I know a ghost who still balks at the
Thought of a treaty
In the bout of doubt versus faith
I said, "Hey
I've never been right a whole day
In my life but I'm due"
Slaying the clouds their carcass in flight
Are heavenly spears of sunlight
Just down the river, is the one that I love
But freedom is options, and I got none
Cause, I met a girl who
Was soft and was white
I said, "Are you an angel?"
And she stretched out a smile
I smelled her real strong and was numb
For a night and was gone
Her toes curled a grip over
The carved stone ledge
She said, "Stop me if you love me"
And her knees started to bend
I gave a good reach, all I got was a
Thread now she's gone
Cause snow angels melt in the morning
I said, "Hey
I've never loved like they sing of
In song but I'm due"
