Idlewild Lyrics - Everything At Once - Travis

It was upon row of houses 

Tight skirts and baggy trousers 

Green men and cheap disguises 

High hopes and higher rises 

Who lived a girl who was on a mission 

Who lived a boy who was under suspicion 

Tried hard to stay beside her 

Until the devil put his seed inside her 

How? 

You know how 

Speak[?] to love and the sand runs out 

So close to midnight 

Time to fly 

Do or die 

Stung in the headlights 

Here we lie 

High and dry 

The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes 

Say goodnight 

Kill the light 

The world will never hear you tonight 

Idlewild 

For two years he tried to reach her 

Worshiped the ground beneath her 

She, she was always running 

He, he saw the end was coming 

But now the story takes a turn 

She wakes up and her sheets are burning 

Head down against the fire 

Now, now, now the table turns 

She won't learn 

Sleep to love and your bed starts burning 

So close to midnight 

Idlewild you don't know 

You never need to 

Here we lie 

High and dry 

The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes 

Say goodnight 

Kill the light 

The world will never hear you tonight 

Idlewild 

Idlewild 

I thought that we were good together 

I thought that we could weather the weather 

Whether or not that wise is the word for us 

That high hopes are only there because, because 

Because I thought the only thing between us 

Was something shallow not a river so deep (we see us) 

Dredge up the wreckage our parents left us 

Lay it on the banks to rot and fester 

Now it's scarlet and I hanging like a death star 

And Gretna Green dark and Manchester 

I don't want to hear it now 

Here we lie 

High and dry 

The world will never see you 'till you open your eyes 

Say goodnight, kill the light 

The world will never hear you tonight 

Idlewild 

Idlewild 

Kill the light 

Idlewild
