Goodnight Sunrise - Routine And Dollar Signs Lyrics

This could be a test of desire, so stay 'til the lights burn out
Dreams are unoriginal, and movement's traditional
So keep moving, everyone's watching and scoring your every move
The feeling it could pay out has severed away somehow

And every time it works out, you'd like to cash out
Tell me there is a reason to keep motion on our side
I guess I could be wrong, but my feelings stand strong
"If you play your numbers..."
Now you've got me thinking about routine and dollar signs
If we could only doubt the biggest part of what could happen
Sight but without depth perception
"If you play your numbers..."
Now you've got me thinking about routine and dollar signs
Too bad we're all about the biggest part of what could happen
Sight but without depth perception

Hope that we are destined and not testing out our luck
Through all of the hands we hold, we're losing in stamina
So fade this scene, everyone's watching a scripted lullaby
Whatever your heart may feel won't amount to the sex appeal

And every time it works out, you'd like to cash out
Tell me there is a reason to keep motion on our side
I guess I could be wrong, but my feelings stand strong
"If you play your numbers..."
Now you've got me thinking about routine and dollar signs
If we could only doubt the biggest part of what could happen
Sight but without depth perception
"If you play your numbers..."
Now you've got me thinking about routine and dollar signs
Too bad we're all about the biggest part of what could happen
Sight but without depth perception

We'll shimmer and grind our teeth
At the thought of our competition fading
We'll speak in monologues
Well I am waiting, I am waiting

This could be a test of desire, so stay 'til the lights burn out
Dreams are unoriginal, and movement traditional
So keep moving, everyone's watching and scoring your every move
The feeling it could pay out has severed away somehow

"If you play your numbers..."
Now you've got me thinking about routine and dollar signs
If we could only doubt the biggest part of what could happen
Sight but without depth perception
"If you play your numbers..."
Now you've got me thinking about routine and dollar signs
Too bad we're all about the biggest part of what could happen
Sight but without depth perception

Sight but without depth perception
Sight but without depth perception
We'll shimmer and grind our teeth
At the thought of our competition fading
We'll speak in monologues
Well I am waiting, I am waiting

I'm writing for playing on an empty hand
Is trying worth nothing when chance defines an end?
I'm writing for playing
Is ambition all we'll ever have?
