The Submarines - Plans lyrics
[The Submarines - Plans lyrics]
Stand up straight and close your eyes
Don't look now the evening sun
Has burned through everyone
We're silhouettes, we're dark as night
Why'd we let the sunshine in when we began
Burned through our hearts and all our plans
But, if you don't try you
Might just succeed at nothing
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort
Sparks fly past your averted eyes
So love just comes and goes
Hold your hand up to the sky
If you could you'd gather every
Star you'd ever wished on
Interrogating every one
Why'd they have to let you down when
You'd confided all you want is
Love to light you up
But, if you don't try you
Might just succeed at nothing
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort
Sparks fly past your averted eyes
So love just comes and goes
Now when you look at the stars
Are you just thinking about
How long ago they burned out
When you're so far away it
Takes time to see change
These things are bigger than we are
And if you'd try this just
Might amount to something
There's still danger in never
Getting hopes up again
Sparks fly and love may come and go but
Your light's much brighter than you know
Don't try, you just might succeed at nothing
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort
Sparks fly past your averted eyes
And love just comes and goes
Don't look now the evening sun
Has burned through everyone
We're silhouettes, we're dark as night
Why'd we let the sunshine in when we began
Burned through our hearts and all our plans
But, if you don't try you
Might just succeed at nothing
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort
Sparks fly past your averted eyes
So love just comes and goes
Hold your hand up to the sky
If you could you'd gather every
Star you'd ever wished on
Interrogating every one
Why'd they have to let you down when
You'd confided all you want is
Love to light you up
But, if you don't try you
Might just succeed at nothing
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort
Sparks fly past your averted eyes
So love just comes and goes
Now when you look at the stars
Are you just thinking about
How long ago they burned out
When you're so far away it
Takes time to see change
These things are bigger than we are
And if you'd try this just
Might amount to something
There's still danger in never
Getting hopes up again
Sparks fly and love may come and go but
Your light's much brighter than you know
Don't try, you just might succeed at nothing
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort
Sparks fly past your averted eyes
And love just comes and goes
