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

Oh but yeah, 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

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
It soared through a sliver of space

Oh but yeah, 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

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

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

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

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

You said I'm wrong and that I'm 5 foot 10
Darling what'd you do to me? You're living in my head, hey
I'm not as strong as I was way back then
So I'm guarding all my history, no it won't come up again

Hey, I wanna be alone
I wanna be alone
I wanna be alone
I wanna be alone

All alone, I wanna be
All alone, the two of us
All alone, I wanna be
All alone, alone with you (oh oh oh oh)

Wanna be alone (oh oh oh oh)
I wanna be alone
I wanna be alone

Let's play a game that we thought we knew
Well aren't you also proud of me? Have you seen all I can do? Hey!
Okay I'm learning what I'm saying is not true
But all this generosity, and now you're confused

Hey, I wanna be alone
I wanna be alone
I wanna be alone
I wanna be alone

All alone, I wanna be
All alone, the two of us
All alone, I wanna be
All alone, alone with you (oh oh oh oh)

I wanna be alone
I wanna be
I wanna be alone

Sometimes, summer in our second home
I remember moments as it's set in stone
I can see you yelling and you throwing your rings at me
Well I never stopped trying to be better than that
And I'm getting so close to where I wanna be at
You can depend on me, you can rely on me
But every once in a while I'd rather be

All alone, I wanna be
All alone, the two of us
All alone, I wanna be
All alone, alone with you, (oh oh oh oh)
I wanna be
I wanna be alone (oh oh oh oh)

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

How much can we take before we both break down?
The confines of these rooms, yeah they get you to
And lying in our bed while tossing and turning
And it wakes you up, it puts you in the mood
But that's alright 'cause
We both know what the other wants
And it goes to show why we're not alone
And still we're here in this God forsaken place
I can hear what you're saying, I can see it on your face

So let's go, let's go 'til we can't anymore
Let's go 'til we can't
Let's go, let's go 'til we fall to the floor
Let's go 'til we can't
Somebody else told me (something 'bout)
Where you live can 'cause you (suffering)
Guess that's something else that's wrong with our room
With the walls colliding
Someone said stop hesitating
We both know we're suffocating
Let's go out and find ourselves a home
And find ourselves a home

Honey please, you don't need to tell me
What we need, yeah we both know that
A bedroom floor with our clothes strewn all about
Yeah we're stuffed in here together begging for a new way out

So let's go, let's go 'til we can't anymore
Let's go 'til we can't
Let's go, let's go 'til we fall to the floor
Let's go 'til we can't
Somebody else told me (something 'bout)
Where you live can 'cause you (suffering)
Guess that's something else that's wrong with our room
With the walls colliding
Someone said stop hesitating
We both know we're suffocating
Let's go out and find ourselves a home
And find ourselves a home

We can barely speak, we can barely sleep, now we're leavin'
Barely take the time, take the time to try
Try to make this living hell, break this barren shell
Shell it out for something better than we think
And better than we ever dreamed

So let's go, let's go 'til we can't anymore
Let's go 'til we can't
Let's go, let's go 'til we fall to the floor
Let's go 'til we can't
Somebody else told me (something 'bout)
Where you live can 'cause you (suffering)
Guess that's something else that's wrong with our room
With the walls colliding
Someone said stop hesitating
We both know we're suffocating
Let's go out and find ourselves a home
And find ourselves a home

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]

Look at me now, I'm 10 feet tall
They say they know what's good for you, they say to take it slow
Well I could [?], because I want it all
Darling what you say about me, it comes into the booth

It's all I'll ever know
It's all I'll ever know
It's everything I own
It's all I'll ever know

These motherf*ckers and their goddamn roasts
Praying what they say is what goes, pretending no one knows
They put you down, you could get back on your tour
Saying that I sing these songs, and singing what I love

But it's all I've ever known
It's all I'll ever know
It's everything I own
And it's all I'll ever know
