Lyrics
The People That We Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Speed kills coming down the mountain
Speed kills coming down the street
Speed kills with presence of mind and
Speed kills if you know what I mean
Got to feel woke up inside again
Got to feel less broke more fixed
Got to feel when I got outside myself
Got to feel when I touched your lips
The things we do to the people that we love
The way we break if there's something we can't take
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
We expect her gone for some time
I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee outsider refugee
How's it feel she's coming up roses
How's it feel she's coming up sweet
How's it feel when it's all in spite of you
How's it feel when she's out of your reach
The things we do to the people that we love
The way we break if there's something in the way
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
We expect her gone for some time - I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee outsider refugee
What happened to you
The things we do to the people that we love
The things we do to the people that we love
The things we do to the people that we love
The things we do to the people that we love
