Lyrics
The Things We Do
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.
Access granted, you can misbehave
Throw away your constraints
Say the name with no regrets
Yeah you love it when you take it back
Saying I don't wanna run around
Yeah I'm carrying our only child
Well, the static going through your head
The signal is crossed, but it's clear
I can make it out
All alone are the things that we do when we're left on our own
All the things that we just love to hide
All alone are the things that we do when no one's around
We're just playing in the underground
You throw up a prayer and then you move to another God
You throw up a prayer and then you move to another God
Changing up the only one
Who gives away your voice
Yeah, I'll given up all control
Will it be enough to save the world
I don't need to understand
We've been spinning around, and well I'll never know
All alone are the things that we do when we're left on our own
All the things that we just love to hide
All alone are the things that we do when no one's around
We're just playing in the underground
Cross the love
So make it out
I'm saying
So make it out
I, you won't, you will, if you won't
Come with me
Just play in the underground
We can play in the underground
Yeah, we can play in the underground
When we are alone
The things that I wanna do with you
Where we can play
We can play
Yeah, we can play
We can play in the underground
