Slow Club - Our Most Brilliant Friends lyrics

Sun is coming up slowly
I didn't read it in your star-sign or mine
God knows we're not holy
In decisions we make
And how we spend our time
But, I got faster and faster
And you got harder to please
And you got harder to find
And our prayers were answered
When we wrote these songs
And we lost our minds
And all our most brilliant
Friends are doubting themselves

And we're scared about the world
The atmosphere, our bodies, and our health
So just dance with me
Move your body round this time machine
Start it again i want you to celebrate
The fact our bodies can recreate
New versions of ourselves we won't need help

Something's making me nervous
Running through my body can't remember why
We thought we had all the answers
We got the stomach to learn
But haven't got the time
Your body looks good tonight
I wonder if you'd care
If I was still in your shirt
The way we were when we first met
Before your mind filled with air
And mine with dirt
And all our most brilliant
Friends are doubting themselves

Hey hey look at him go

You know that it's gonna take time don't you?
You know that you never were right
But the fact is you're good
Yeah, we know that you're nice
But we don't get a world and
We don't get a life
Where all our most brilliant
Friends are doubting themselves

Hey hey look at him go

If dreams come true
Then you and I would make a two
And if I had one more
I'd dream that I stayed on your floor
And while my parents were
Alive, they'd say "Rebecca
Now's the time to play the
Next card to your chest"
You thought about me and you said "go"
I thought about that and I said "no"
You couldn't understand why a girl like
Me thinks the way I do
But, I can't stand a boy who
Thinks things through like you
Let's go back to the beginning of
The nights that I've been regretting
Let's go back to the beginning of
The nights I've been regretting

Now with you I always thought we'd
Live behind a front door
Right now you don't think that
You can live anymore
And I'll call and call and call and
Call and call and call and call
Anyone on the phone, so tonight I'm not alone

Let's go back to the beginning of
The nights that I've been regretting
Let's go back to the beginning of
The nights that I've been regretting

And you say "Baby" a lot in your songs"
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drum

I met a boy who grew up in the mountains
He really loved God and got
Me thinking about things
Like appreciating everyone that I
Can call a friend
Seeing life as a group of tests
To see through to the end
But, I'm a quitter i don't think he knew
That I'm still thinking about you
I'm a quitter, and I'm ashamed
He said he'd come back for my brain

I just wanted to see that
New Tim Burton movie
Or hang around with Laura, Jane, and Suzie
And I definitely want to be a rapper
But, I'm just a northern girl
From where nothing really happens
And the bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
It's from all the crunking I've been doing
