Passion Pit - Kindred Album Lyrics

Tell me what does it take to make good now
How many years do you wait?
Oh, and now all of the clouds are combining
The flickering light's just a flame
Oh but yeah, I'm so tired
I've been away for so many years
But I guess I'll just wait a bit longer
I'll stay 'til they open the gates

[Pre-Chorus:]
All my life I stay here waiting
Every new year, always making me
Feel as though there's nothing up there but
One day you came out of nowhere

[Chorus:]
1985 was a good year
The sky broke apart and you appeared
Dropped from the heavens, they call me a dreamer
I won't lie, I knew you would belong here
Lifted off the ground
I took your hands and pulled you down
Because 1985 was a good year
I won't lie, I knew you would belong here

Oh well, how many years has it been now?
How many days went to waste?
Now the rain and the thunder are clashing
The Sun's got a smile 'cross the face
Oh, but yeah I'm so tired
I fight so hard and come back beaten
Beacon, burn through it brightly
Soared through a sliver of space

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Lifted up
Lift us back to the sky and the world above
Lifted up
Lifted up

[Chorus]

You had something else you had to say
But it doesn't matter now
Because we always talk in circles
Always circling
Yeah they're talking 'bout our faces
And it shakes you 'til you cry
Now you're stuck inside their world
Getting tangled in their lies

And yes it's true, they don't know us
They don't know me, they don't know you

Oh well,
I'm sorry darling, how could I have turned this into
Such a darkening, difficult position for you?
Sorry darling, how could you forgive me
When our life's whole story out for them to buy?
Don't you let go
Oh don't you let go
Don't you let go
Oh don't you let go

I made my case, you sat and crossed your arms
And you didn't make a sound
You were looking out the window at the city
Then you turned to say you loved me
And it took me by surprise
You were perching in your corner
And I couldn't see your eyes

And yes it's true, they don't know us
They don't know me, they don't know you

Oh well,
I'm sorry darling, how could I have turned this into
Such a darkening, difficult position for you?
Sorry darling, how could you forgive me
When our life's whole story out for them to buy?

Don't you let go
Oh don't you let go
Don't you let go
Oh don't you let go

Someone else could make this into something
Someone else could push it to the side
But that was then, back when we lost our minds
We've got nothing to hide, just give it some more time

Sorry darling, how could I have turned this into
Such a darkening, difficult position for you?
Sorry darling, how could you forgive me
When our life's whole story out for them to buy?

Don't you let go
Oh don't you let go
Don't you let go
Oh don't you let go

Don't you let go
Oh don't you let go
Don't you let go
Oh don't you let go

It goes up, it goes down
It goes any way the wind would like to throw it around
I was lost, now I'm found
I put my hands in the air and my knees to the ground, yeah
The pieces of the all that I could only hold, yeah
I could never say what you want me to say

I've got somebody else just to keep me on my toes again
I can barely stand when you're coming too close

I get caught up in your heartstrings
Way up, where another sky hangs
I'll take all that I can get
Just don't make me go, go

Was it here? Was it there?
Was it swirling around us in the atmosphere?
Is it us? Is it them?
It's the ones plucking the petals 'til we're left with the stem
The people push it forward, my body can't afford it
I step up and take it, but I fall to the side

I've got somebody else just to keep me on my toes again
I can barely stand when you're coming too close

I get caught up in your heartstrings
Way up, where another sky hangs
I'll take all that I can get
Just don't make me go, go

I get caught up in your heartstrings
Way up, where another sky hangs
I'll take all that I can get
Just don't make me go, go

Don't make me go, go
Don't make me go, go
Don't make me go, go
Don't make me go, go

What's it cost? What's it cost, heey?
What's it cost? They got cross, heey
And I got lost, yeah I got lost, heey
So what's it costing me to get right back to you?

I get caught up in your heartstrings
Way up, where another sky hangs
I'll take all that I can get
Just don't make me go, go

I get caught up in your heartstrings
Way up, where another sky hangs
I'll take all that I can get
Just don't make me go, go

All I want are hooks to hang your flowers from
And paper to write letters on
Cause you're all I ever...

[Chorus:]
Have, it's all I'll ever have
Have, it's all I'll ever have
Have, it's all I'll ever have
Have, it's all I'll ever have

When we wake up you engulf me in your love
Waking up is always still, it's all I'll ever

[Chorus]

And all you need is someone new
She's what you can't see
The things you think you'll never be
That's all I'll ever...

[Chorus]

I get the notion that I'm almost there
I get the notion that we're getting closer
And with one motion it could all go wrong
If I'm emotional it'll ruin it all
And the roof will cave in and fall to the ground
And I'll keep on trying though I could never let you down
It's all I'll ever have

[Chorus x2]

I promise this
After each moment, just a kiss
On your cheek or on your lips
That's all we'll ever have

Tell me what does it take to make good now
How many years do you wait?
Oh, and now all of the clouds are combining
The flickering light's just a flame
Oh but yeah, I'm so tired
I've been away for so many years
But I guess I'll just wait a bit longer
I'll stay 'til they open the gates

[Pre-Chorus:]
All my life I stay here waiting
Every new year, always making me
Feel as though there's nothing up there but
One day you came out of nowhere

[Chorus:]
1985 was a good year
The sky broke apart and you appeared
Dropped from the heavens, they call me a dreamer
I won't lie, I knew you would belong here
Lifted off the ground
I took your hands and pulled you down
Because 1985 was a good year
I won't lie, I knew you would belong here

Oh well, how many years has it been now?
How many days went to waste?
Now the rain and the thunder are clashing
The Sun's got a smile 'cross the face
Oh, but yeah I'm so tired
I fight so hard and come back beaten
Beacon, burn through it brightly
Soared through a sliver of space

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Lifted up
Lift us back to the sky and the world above
Lifted up
Lifted up

[Chorus]

There is a sun that I belong to
There hangs a light that comes and shines upon you
They're of the warmth, they're of reminders of youth
Oh we can't stay here
Take down the moon and all it's mockery
There is the Sun that takes away our money
The night is deafening and brings on defeat
No we can't stay here, no I can't stay here
No I can't stay here

Someone told me that I've run too far away, away
Someone told me I should just give in and stay, and stay
Oh come and celebrate, we're dancing on the grave
Of the nights we couldn't sleep, oh I can't stay here

Don't steal away all of her beauty
Take down the darkness bruising both of your knees
It better overwhelm the heart with the heat
Oh I can't stay here, no we can't stay here
No I can't stay here

Someone hold me as I turn the night away, away
Someone hold me to the ultraviolet ray, ray
Oh come and celebrate, we're dancing on your grave
Of the nights we couldn't sleep, oh I can't stay here

Tell me what does it take to make good now
How many years do you wait?
Oh, and now all of the clouds are combining
The flickering light's just a flame
Oh but yeah, I'm so tired
I've been away for so many years
But I guess I'll just wait a bit longer
I'll stay 'til they open the gates

[Pre-Chorus:]
All my life I stay here waiting
Every new year, always making me
Feel as though there's nothing up there but
One day you came out of nowhere

[Chorus:]
1985 was a good year
The sky broke apart and you appeared
Dropped from the heavens, they call me a dreamer
I won't lie, I knew you would belong here
Lifted off the ground
I took your hands and pulled you down
Because 1985 was a good year
I won't lie, I knew you would belong here

Oh well, how many years has it been now?
How many days went to waste?
Now the rain and the thunder are clashing
The Sun's got a smile 'cross the face
Oh, but yeah I'm so tired
I fight so hard and come back beaten
Beacon, burn through it brightly
Soared through a sliver of space

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Lifted up
Lift us back to the sky and the world above
Lifted up
Lifted up

[Chorus]

All the rivers are bending
And the mountains are peaking
And the flowers are blooming
And the meadows are rolling
Into waves, they wash up on the shore
And barely touch your toes
The clouds are crowding around us
For some reason, no one knows

[Chorus:]
And I said, "Hey, looks like rain"
Then you lifted your hands and prayed
"Go away, you can come back some other day"
But they stayed and you soaked under all of the grey
And the rain washed all our cries and pleas away

Now the season is changing
And the leaves now are turning
And the birds aren't singing
And the grass isn't green anymore
Than it used to be when the sunbeams lit it up
And the clouds are crowding around us
Just to say they've had enough

[Chorus]

And now the current takes us out
And all the ripples turn to waves
The wind begins caressing
All the branches to a sway
The air shattered the glass
It felt like crystals on your face
I took you in my arms
And I could hear you saying grace

[Chorus]

My brother taught me how to swim
We treaded water underneath the ocean's skin
And then he washed away my sins
He held me closer as the tide was coming in

[Chorus:]
But then why, what could I say?
What would it mean?
Cause then I, I'd give away
All the love I feel
Just a child, I was waiting
On the line, he elevated
He stayed put while I was wandering
Count so long he started wondering
Why, I got lost

My brother taught me how to give
He spilt his love until it stretches too thin
Oh how I wanna be like him
He takes away the weight before your heart gives in

[Chorus]

If I love the way my brother loves
None of it would happen like the way that it was

[Chorus]

Tell me what does it take to make good now
How many years do you wait?
Oh, and now all of the clouds are combining
The flickering light's just a flame
Oh but yeah, I'm so tired
I've been away for so many years
But I guess I'll just wait a bit longer
I'll stay 'til they open the gates

[Pre-Chorus:]
All my life I stay here waiting
Every new year, always making me
Feel as though there's nothing up there but
One day you came out of nowhere

[Chorus:]
1985 was a good year
The sky broke apart and you appeared
Dropped from the heavens, they call me a dreamer
I won't lie, I knew you would belong here
Lifted off the ground
I took your hands and pulled you down
Because 1985 was a good year
I won't lie, I knew you would belong here

Oh well, how many years has it been now?
How many days went to waste?
Now the rain and the thunder are clashing
The Sun's got a smile 'cross the face
Oh, but yeah I'm so tired
I fight so hard and come back beaten
Beacon, burn through it brightly
Soared through a sliver of space

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Lifted up
Lift us back to the sky and the world above
Lifted up
Lifted up

[Chorus]
