Lyric

Hands up, but my mind is somewhere else

Too many wants glow through the glass

I used to move before I felt anything

Now I let the first wave pass

Pressure wears the face of chance

Desire talks close to my ear

I take one breath before the motion

So I know why I am here

I won’t run after every light

I won’t move just because it calls

If the night keeps turning loud

I can stay soft and stand tall

Every bright thing asks for my name

Every open door says go

Some heat only leaves you hollow

Some roads shine and lead nowhere

Wanting does not have to own me

Feeling does not mean I fall

Let the noise move past my body

Till the real thing speaks at all

I won’t run after every light

I won’t trade myself for sound

If the moment comes too heavy

I can let my heart slow down

Maybe peace is how I wait

Not a place I have to find

Let the outside race without me

I can keep what still feels mine

I won’t run after every light

I can watch the fever leave

When the noise keeps moving faster

I return to what is underneath
