Tropisms X Ambassadors

Don’t you know the time ain’t right?
Don’t you know the knot’s untied?
Why can’t I feel the lights burn low?
It’s nothing I could ever know
And if the clocks won’t run
We’ll put legs on the sun
And quiet only comes once a year
Nothing you have to fear

Can’t you hear the growl of the night?
Feeling that my shoes don’t fit right
Stepping out into a concert hall
Playing for nobody at all
I think you’d better hand me the keys
Baby, you make me so uneasy
It’s always better in the back of the room
Don’t you know that I’ll be out of here soon?

And I don’t know much of anything anymore
Only know how to take my fill
My fill of the water I’ve spilled
Hey!

So tell me when it all runs out
And maybe then I’ll be ready
I think we better not brave the weather
Just so we can lay here together
I’m so tired of being always wrong
I’m so tired of always being where I thought I belonged
So sure my city isn’t always safe
But I know my city isn’t always afraid
