[Verse 1]

I'm waiting for my moment to come

I'm waiting for the movie to begin

I'm waiting for a revelation

I'm waiting for someone to count me in

Because now I only see my dreams in everything I touch

Feel their cold hands on everything that I love

Cold like some magnificent skyline

Out of my reach but always in my eye line


[Half-Chorus]

Now we're tumbling down

We're spiralling

Tied up to the ground

We're spiralling


[Verse 2]

I fashioned you from jewels and stone

I made you in the image of myself

I gave you everything you wanted

So you would never know anything else

But every time I reach for you, you slip through my fingers

Into cold sunlight, laughing at the things that I had planned

The map of my world gets smaller as I sit here

Pulling at the loose threads


[Chorus 1]

Now we're tumbling down

We're spiralling

Tied up to the ground

We're spiralling

When we fall in love

We're just falling

In love with ourselves

We're spiralling


[Bridge]

Did you want to be a winner?

Did you want to be an icon?

Did you want to be famous?

Did you want to be the president?

Did you want to start a war?

Did you want to have a family?

Did you want to be in love?

Did you want to be in love?

I never saw the light

I never saw the light

I waited up all night

But I never saw the light


[Chorus 2]

When we fall in love

We're just falling

In love with ourselves

We're spiralling

We're tumbling down

We're spiralling

Tied up to the ground

We're spiralling
