Swandive
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.
Distant, yet figurative
I call you once or twice
You come to great me
caroling advice
So nice to meet you
tell me your name
I find you quite beautiful
telaute
so nice to meet you
tell me your name
you seem quite familiar
looking at your face
Driven, yet frozen
tempting is the afterlife
driven, yet frozen
tempted by what life might be like
driven, yet frozen
caught between
the devil & what i know
driven, yet frozen
spirals down
the crowd gathers below
Forging ideas
bringing demise
I can't wait forever
clinging to life
So nice to meet you
tell me your name
I find you quite beautiful
telaute
so nice to meet you
tell me your name
you seem quite familiar
looking at your face
Driven, yet frozen
tempting is the afterlife
driven, yet frozen
tempted by what life might be like
Footsteps gingerly
making way up the stairs
left hand, stair rail
right hand, clutching empty air
Oh god, it's too late
dialog sited from somewhere
driven, yet frozen
caught between
the devil & what i know
driven, yet frozen
spirals down
the crowd gathers below
