Tracing
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.
Do you ever get the feeling
That we started in the middle?
Or have you ever had the sense
That we've been lying just a little?
I mean, come on?
Its not like we've known ourselves that long
And I cant say I really blame you
For being bored with the beginning
Always staring at the score
Just to figure out who's barely winning
But dont you know
There is a reason strong, move slow
And I'm okay
If your okay with
Wasting time
But when we trace
You always see the bottom line
We are tracing
I hope you know
We are tracing
And if you want to know the moment
I knew that I was still alone
I found I'd never learned your number
I only stored it in my phone
You'd think by now
Id know the shape of calling home
And I'm okay
If your okay with
Wasting time
But when we trace
You know you'll always face the bottom line
We are tracing
I hope you know
We are tracing
We're both alone
We are tracing
We are tracing
Did you ever get the feeling
That we started in the middle?
Or have you ever have the sense
That we were lying just a little?
I mean, come on?
Its not like we knew ourselves that long
