lyrics

Lyrics:

Didn't really mean much to turn 19
But a year on is there something i should have achieved
I'm heavy with the references from popular culture scenes

I haven't really met someone who knows what it mean
when i turn the music off because if feels like a bleed
I don't want to have to explain myself right down to the seam

Keeping up
Never took this much

Moved to the city on less than a hunch
I'm moving through it but i wish that I'd brought my own lunch
It's just a place on a map but I hope it doesn't spit me out

'Cause with every step I'm feeling more out of line
Like a blinker that's on beat only some of the time
Hold me a little closer I think I might get it right this time

Keeping up
Never cost this much

All of our pieces have been thrown in the air
It was out of joy but now all we do is fear how they'll land
I'm holding onto you will you hold on to me to?

Is keeping up
really worth this much?
