[Intro]

(Go-go-go-go-down-go-go-go-go-go-go)

(Go-go-go-go-down-go-go-go-go-go-go)


[Verse 1]

No more excuses and no more playing dead

There are no silver linings in anything you said

You could keep on denying and I could stay away

We could hold up our hands, say we don't want it, we don't need it


[Chorus]

If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't hear it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground, will you leave it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't see it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go


[Post-Chorus]

(Go-go-go-go-down-go-go-go-go-go)


[Verse 2]

No more distractions and no more staying still

I am chasing the skyline much more than you ever will

You could keep to your story and I could stick to mine

We could hold up our hands, say we don't want it, we don't need it


[Chorus]

If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't hear it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground, will you leave it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't see it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go


[Bridge]

(Go-go-go-go-down-go-go-go-go-go)

(Go-go-go-go-down-go-go-go-go-go)

(Go-go-go-go-down-go-go-go-go-go)

(Go-go-go-go-down-go-go-go-go-go)


[Chorus]

If I give more than enough ground, will you claim it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't hear it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go

If I give more than enough ground, will you leave it?

I will take it all in one breath and hold it down

And if I try to pretend that I don't see it

You can tell me to move and I won't go

You can tell me to try and I won't go


[Outro]
