[Verse 1: Eliot]

Getting bad news in slow motion

Burnt out, the sun hits

Can't believe the timing of this

Can't get with it here, don't want it

It's way too real, if I'm honest

So please, can you just drop it

Too tired to drop logic

I sell the storm, I can't stop it

But I spent so long on my own

Waitin' by the phone

Part of me wants to know

But I just can't let go

Anyway, you never get out the boat

False hope, horizons glow

Sodium light, wet road

There's no good in wondering

So don't go on wondering

There's ghosts along the cliffs

And in the hills and the low wisps in the marsh mist

There's no good in thesе dreams of yours

The world ain't that beautiful

And thе phone that rings, don't take the call

The fires that burn are waiting for


[Chorus: Devenny]

Wait

We just smile high

What lies beyond

The faded white line

Too scared to push fate

Plus we were in the night

What is outside?

It's warm by this light

Let's stay a bit


[Verse 2: Devenny]

Lay low

Couldn't face my lows

They called, where was I though?

I resided in the covers of my silo

And I stepped back in a black hole

The night burns bright with my woes

Consumed by the drugs that I let go

Paranoid skittish in the end zone

Panicked in a state but this man though

Had to question that I still have in me

Inquisitive once, now I envy

The youth that inspired me plenty

Being worried 'bout my health since twenty

Had to push my thoughts, they're plenty

I was skirt 'round the bend with my hair free

Just to feel something new in this routine

I can't take all this noise in this room please

Can we quiet it down, it's unlikely

So I pedal my bike to the oak tree

Had a call to the cause but I frenzied

Couldn't handle it's bellow and it scared me

But my soul said wait, you could be free

Take a chance on the mission that you do need

Take a chance on the mission that you do need

Said, said you can


[Chorus: Devenny]

Wait

We just your smile high

What lies beyond

The faded white line

Too scared to push fate

Plus we were in the night

What is outside?

It's warm by this light

Let's stay a bit, wait


[Verse 3: Sonny]

Yeah, until now I thought why bother if I'm just passing through?

Yeah, give me something I can put my heart into

Yeah, that night, it was a harvest moon

It was deep and dark and blue

I thought I saw seen it all until I met you

Yeah, it's not love it was something to do

And so I just left, I've got nothing to lose

Everybody's making a hullabaloo

Bad timing, not in the mood

Took another detour, not on the route

Yeah, I'm not proud but I'd do it again

Back to start, where we all go in the end

Let go of your past, when you said that, I couldn't pretend

You know me but we started to blend, yeah

Same old story, had a hell of a run

Make my mind up for me

Gave up before I begun, yeah

Close my blinds, try to hide from the sun
