Silversun Pickups - Physical Thrills Lyrics
Stillness (Way Beyond)
Ooh, ooh
I know I've got to see this through
Unsure if I can pull it off
It's really going to leave a lasting mark
I guess that s just what others do
Ooh
I know its time to turn it on
Cut all the cords and take this walk
It started so fictional
A promise to be physical
And now I cannot keep this calm
Ooh
But still
This goes way beyond a little chill
It'll shake us all
So still
This goes way beyond
Ooh, ooh
If only I can make this change
Id rather wait another day
Time it seems is not my friend
No other way this will end
At least its going to feel so good
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
But still
This goes way beyond a little chill
It'll save us all with little thrills
Before it takes us all
So still
This goes way beyond
Ooh, ooh

Sticks and Stones
Heaven sent this little twitch in my eye
I suppose it's just the tip of the ice
This feeling's so strong, oh
Mama knows that it ain't no surprise
If I let go, your words will take on new life
What you're saying ain't wrong, no
When you take me, I won't go
Hesitation overload
Bodies break with sticks and stones
Incinerate or I won't go
Heaven knows these little tricks of mine
Won't let go, I'd better make up my mind
Before this feeling is gone, oh
Ooh
Ooh
When you take me, I won't go
Obliterate and overthrow
Bodies ache from sticks and stones
Hesitate and I won't go
Oh, how this feeling is strong
And what you're saying ain't wrong
I suppose I'll let go
When you take me, I won't go
Hesitation overload
Bodies break with sticks and stones
Incinerate or I won't go
Ooh, ooh, ooh

Hereafter (Way After)
Now you gotta pick up all the pieces off the floor
And dance right along to music that you tried to ignore
Every second feeling like a Sunday afternoon
When light passes by as shadows move across the room
Will we ever be alone again hereafter?
Will we ever find home again way after hereafter?
The neighbors come alive and start the knocking at the door
The turning of the tide there for you to claim your reward
Meditate to noise that you've heard a million times
Breathe the unknown or stay tucked away inside
Where is everyone going to be hereafter?
What is everyone going to see way after hereafter?
Do you wanna be alone with me hereafter?
Do you wanna stay home with me way alter hereafter?
Oh oh
What now?
We hear them coming out
Oh how?
We need them coming out
Coming out
Now you see the sun and it's blistering your skin
Listen to the songs of whispering traumatic winds
If everything you love can be swallowed by the sand
Will you turn around and see me stand the best I can?
Best I can
Will we ever be alone again hereafter?
Will we ever find home again way after hereafter?
Do you wanna be alone with me hereafter?
Do you wanna stay home with me way alter hereafter?
Way after

Dream at Tempo 050
There you were
Just walking by
Pulled you close
To say goodnight
Spent a wish
To spare some time
See you on
The other side, alone
La, la, la la, la, la la, la, la la
I'm beginning
To regret it
Just forget it
What was said
And never
Never, never
Never ever
Go to bed

Scared Together
The clock froze around midnight
I can feel it in the room
It's gonna be that kind of moon (new moon)
Hanging onto the spotlight
Blowing holes in the dark
It took forever and a day to miss the mark
Clouds rolling over sunlight
It's no fun for the young
Can they just at least see someone? (Anyone)
Thawing out from the frostbite
Such a feast for the eyes
May I have this dance before we dry?
You wanna swim with the alligator (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Take a seat near the imitator (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Is it a year or a minute later? (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We're so much better when we're scared together
Crossing off all the highlights
That are eating at my mind
It was a beautiful design (re-design)
Take hold of the rewind
Fast forward to the end
When done you've begun to begin again
Free falling in the elevator (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
An imitation of the instigator (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Flowers bloom when it's now or never (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We're so much better when we're scared together
We're so much better when we're scared together
This breathing room, we made it better
A change so soon, we made it so much better
A day anew and now or never
A chance to bloom, better forever
This breathing room, we made it better
A change so soon, we made it so much better
A day anew and now or never
A chance to bloom
You wanna swim with the alligator (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You wanna swing with the instigator (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Is it a year or a minute later? (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We're so much better when we're scared together
We're so much better when we're scared together

Alone on a Hill
I don't wanna (I don't wanna)
Don't wanna be alone on a hill (on a hill)
Looking down on everyone so frozen still (still)
So you gotta get ready for me to move
I don't know you, but I'd like to
Ooh look around
This isn't all about attention
This isn't all about connection
Ooh move around
This isn't all a course correction
This isn't all about this wind that's blowing in
I don't wanna (I don't wanna)
Don't wanna get caught in the freeze
If you come up and clear through all the debris
I'll turn up the heat (I'll turn up the heat)
Do you wanna burn with me?
You don't know me but I'm hungry
Ooh look around
This isn't all about attention
This isn't all about connection
Ooh move around
Isn't at all complicated
This isn't all about this wave that's crashing in
Do you think it's best to forget?
Give a promise, keep a secret
They're not hearing what we say anymore
You don't seem too far from me
You don't seem to bother me
You don't seem at all lonely
Where are you going?
You've got to go to me
Ooh look around
This isn't all about attention
This isn't all about connection
Ooh move around
Isn't at all complicated
This isn't all about this face that's closing in

Hidden Moon
This sudden light
Just enough to wet my appetite
Where did you go?
Somewhere out there I can feel the glow
Hidden moon
Stick around or it'll be your doom
Hidden moon
Tell me why you need to leave so soon?
Are you behind
All the rocket ships and satellites?
I'll make you mine
Such a lovely way to pass the time
Ooh, I'll steal the moon
And give it back if it'll change your tune
Hidden moon
Tell me why you seem to be confused?
You better find another place to hide
I'm gonna find you 'cause I've got all night
See the shadows moving so lifelike
When you find another way to shine
Oh, hidden moon
Stick around or it'll be your doom
Hidden moon
Tell me why you need to leave so soon
You better find another place to hide
I'm gonna find you cause I've got all night
See the shadows moving so lifelike
When you find another way to shine

System Error
Come on over, a friendly word
One topsy turn and I don't feel right
Forgotten pieces a bit absurd
Take this system out of my sight
I miss you, babe, and I don't feel right
I miss you, babe, I miss you, babe
Tethered down by silly string
Eyes aimed so low on a high road
To paint a picture with gasoline
Marching orders on a glass floor
And take this system out of my sight
Let's make this work, let's make this light
Waking up is lonely and so easy to do
When you're waiting for the only thing to help you break on through
Remembered for being ignored
Better to fade away before you get burned more
I miss you, babe, and I don't feel right
I miss you, babe, I miss you, babe
Concrete shoes with a candy coat
These toys aren't made to be broken
The backlash suits me, does it suit you?
Are we not made to be woken?
Please take this system out of my sight
Let's make this work, let's make this light
Waking up is lonely and so easy to do
When you're waiting for the only thing to help you break on through
Remembered for being ignored
Better to fade away before you get burned more
I miss you, babe, and I don't feel right
I miss you, babe, I miss you, babe
And forgiveness is so human
And to err is so divine lately
Waking up is lonely and so easy to do
When you're waiting for the only thing to help you break on through
Remembered for being ignored
Better to fade away before you get burned
Waking up, the only thing easy to do
Waking up, the only thing so easy to do
Waking up, the only thing easy to do
Waking up, the only thing so easy to do
Wake up (wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
(Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up)
Wake up

Empty Nest
Did you notice, did you notice our friends are running late?
So time to misbehave
When they get here, will they see clear the seeds that we have sewn?
And speak of how they've grown?
I will be here when they leave
I'll be rolling up my sleeves
Bitter taste of time wasted, a tickle in your throat
Nothing new to note
All fetters are feathers that keep us in suspense
They break and then they mend
I wanna see you in your dreams
I need something new to see
I will see this to the end
I have no need to pretend
Should've known I've gotta get this off my chest
I'm allowed to keep around this empty nest
It's so much to clean up a clever mess
I should've known, should've known
Did you notice, did you notice our friends are running scared?
And seem so unprepared?
How'd we get here? How'd we get here? Did we get here on our own?
Have we always been alone?
I wanna hear you when you speak
I have no need to critique
I wanna keep this winning streak
I have no breath underneath
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
Should've known I've gotta get this off my chest
I'm allowed to keep around this empty nest
It's so much to clean up a clever mess
Should've known, should've known
Did you notice, did you notice I'm feeling uninspired?
I think I'm crossing wires
How'd we get here? How'd we get here? Did we get here on our own?
The seeds are overgrown
I wanna see this to the end
I have no need to pretend
Should've known I've gotta get this off my chest
I'm allowed to keep around this empty nest
It's so much to clean up a clever mess
Should've known, should've known
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave
Sit in a room right next to you
And now I wanna leave

Dream at Tempo 310
Second thoughts
And spinning plates
Cover for
Such grand mistakes
Try too hard
To emulate
The nature of
A perfect hate
La, la la la, la, la, la, la, la la
It's so daring
To be declaring
That we're sharing
The same dream
Never
Never, never
Never ever
Go to sleep

We Won't Come Out
Can you hear me? Oh
Do you fear me? Oh
So enlightened, oh
A little frightened, oh
We've got some questions, oh
That need attention, oh
Some witty banter, oh
But no wrong answers
Or we won't come out
Are you excited? Oh
A bit delighted? Oh
So empathetic, oh
Must be genetic, oh
Do you get faded? Oh
Feel overrated? Oh
We're so inventive, oh
So be attentive
Or we won't come out
(Won't come out, won't come out, won't come out)
We won't come out
(Won't come out, won't come out, won't come out)
Can you still hear me? Oh
Do you still feel me, oh
Becoming brighter, oh
A little lighter, oh
Let's get electric, oh
Less sympathetic, oh
'Cause when I felt it, oh
It felt like heaven on me
It hit me like you fell into me
You got a little heaven on me
And it won't come out
(Won't come out, won't come out, won't come out)
We won't come out, ooh
(Won't come out, won't come out, won't come out)
We won't come out
(Won't come out, won't come out, won't come out)
We won't come out
(Won't come out, won't come out, won't come out) ooh

Stay Down (Way Down)
Fallout from the parting waters
Smothering our sons and daughters
Some swim
Some float
Washed out of particular seas
Splayed out in front of me
Right in front of me, oh oh
I wanna swim in a beautiful ocean
Feel waves with low emotion
A little change
A little hope
In the crowd it's a bit lonely
Competitively holy
Race to the knees
Crawl out to the finish line
Crossover in the nick of time
Just another sign
Best to keep that body down
Stay down
Don't see anything I can do
And now
I stay down
I'm never gonna leave my room, ooh ooh
Stay down
'Cause I've never been this close to you
So now
I stay down
Stay down
Some words ring better than others
Limiting the sounds we mutter
Some sing
Some don't
A little piece of a beautiful world
Once said and overheard
Once was overheard
Fall onto the cutting board
Come around to what may lay in store
In another world
Never keep that body down
Stay down
Don't see anything I can do
And now
I stay down
I'm never gonna leave my room, ooh ooh
Stay down
'Cause I've never been this close to you
So now
I stay down
Stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
It's in the water
It's in the ocean
Every bit of every notion
Never keep that body down
It's in the water
It's in the ocean
Every bit of every notion
Never keep that body down
Crawl out to the finish line
Crossover in the nick of time
Just another sign
Best to keep that body down
Stay down
Don't see anything I can do
And now
I stay down
I'm never gonna leave my room, ooh ooh
Stay down
'Cause I've never been this close to you
So now
I stay down
Stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down, stay down
Stay down, stay down
Way down, way down, stay down
It's in the water
It's in the ocean (stay down, stay down)
Every bit of every notion (way down, way down)
Never keep that body down (stay down)
It's in the water
It's in the ocean (stay down, stay down)
Every bit of every notion (way down, way down)
Never keep that body down (stay down)

Quicksand
So you chose to be here
Waiting out all your time, you're never gonna leave here
Tell me what's on your mind, is there something that you need here?
Or are you just passing by until you are free?
I'm weary
Trying not to fantasize imaginary ceilings
Holding incandescent light, are floorboards creaking?
Singing all through the night until you're asleep, oh
Who are you seeing?
Are they telling you to look alive? What do they believe in?
Is there anyone on your side? Is anybody grieving?
Or letting in the sunshine? Are the curtains closed?
Are there even windows?
Furniture made of steel? Are you wearing clean clothes?
I know none of this is real, how'd you ever get so
Easily erasable, I'll never know
You've got a thing that you can't get out of
Got a rhythm that you can't step out on
In a dream that you can't wake up from
This may be quicksand, may be quicksand
Gotta think who do you belong to
What kind of prism do you see your life through
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
So you chose to be here
You waited out all your time, you never got to leave here
Or tell me what's on your mind, so I will just be here
Sing the chorus of the left behind so you can be free
I'm leaving
I would've stayed with you 'til the end, there's someone else who needs me
And I'll never have to pretend, I wish you would've seen him
But I'll send him all your love instead so you can stay free
You've got a thing that you can't get out of
Got a rhythm that you can't step out on
In a dream that you can't wake up from
This may be quicksand, may be quicksand
Gotta think who do you belong to
What kind of prism do you see your life through
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
