Athlete Album

[No lyrics]

All the places we grew up,
We're playing hide and seek,
Disappearing wall when you'll sleep

Is it something we gotta get used to?
Is it something we gotta get used to? whoa.

Hurricane.
Oh hurricane.

All the millions that we marched with
It never made a sound, never made a sound on your lips.

Is it something we gotta get used to?
But we're not giving up the coastline so easily.

Oh hurricane.
Oh hurricane.

I don't wanna run,
I've been here since I was young
Whoa this city day could be gone within the hour.

Oh hurricane, what you gonna do to us this time?
Oh hurricane, what you gonna do to us this time?

Oh hurricane!

Is it something we gotta get used to?
(x2)
and it's something we gotta get used to..
and we're not giving up the coastline so easily.

Oh hurricane!

I am Tokyo
I am here
I am blazing lights on your street

I? an upstart
Bound to cross you
I? the hypocrite by your side

She won't forget
& I won't forget

And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we were one mouth and one robot heart

I am Tokyo
I am here
I am neon signs on your street

I'm an army of wind turbines
Marching over your countryside

She won't forget
& I won't forget

And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we were one mouth and one robot heart

There's never enough time
Only, only
A glare off rainbow bridge
Pin prick to the heart
Again and again
I felt every spark

And no one around could tell us apart
Cause we are were one mouth and one robot heart
We're burning through town like there's nothing to lose
Cause we are were one mouth and one robot heart

Just a blur of red and yellow
Lovers dancing to the beat
I saw you at the centre of it all
The most beautiful thing
Oh I wanna take you home with me tonight
Oh I wanna take you home with me tonight
Some are here to remember
Some are here to forget
That we used you for nothing
And we couldn't care less

Oh beautiful world
Can I win you back?
Beautiful world
Have you figured it out yet?
Have you figured it out yet?
So why don't you share it with us

Just a blur of red and yellow
That everyone chose to ignore
We all sucked that beauty from you
And kept coming back for more

Oh beautiful world
Can I win you back?
Beautiful world
Have you figured it out yet?
Have you figured it out yet?
So why don't you share it with us

Oh beautiful world
Can I win you back?
Beautiful world
Have you figured it out yet?
Have you figured it out yet?
So why don't you share it with us
Have you figured it out yet?
Have you figured it out yet?
So why don't you share it with us

It's not your fault
You didn't see it coming
90 mph
Gone so fast
And now we're left with nothing at all

It's not your fault
I've given every part that you that they could spare
Mixed between the petrol and the wildlife
And it's cold

Are those still your eyes?
Now that you've gone to some place else
I can't save you
As the brightest lights are closing in on us
Are those still your eyes?
Now that you've gone to some place else
I cant save you
So I'm giving every part of you away

It's not your fault
The dance you made up to your bedroom every night
Leaves us chasing memories and trying to understand
We can't wait

Are those still your eyes?
Now that you've gone to some place else
I can't save you
As the brightest lights are closing in on us
Are those still your eyes?
Now that you've gone to some place else
I cant save you
So I'm giving every part of you away

Oh my God
What the hell just happened here?
Oh my God
What the hell just happened here?

We can't walk in straight lines
We can't see quite right
We've lost the plot and we can't get it back
So let's lose ourselves
Let's lose ourselves
Can you spot the English here?

We'll pick a fight on whoever we like
Cause we're never wrong
Nobody likes us
We don't care
So let's lose ourselves
Let's lose ourselves
Can you spot the English here?

We can see it for real but it doesn't make sense
We're the outsiders
You see all this speech come staggering out
And it can climb its way to the top of that cloud
Oh I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now

This familiar environment has my lungs confused
I breathe in every particle
That you drive through
That you drive through
Can you spot the English here?

We can see it for real but it doesn't make sense
We're the outsiders
You see all this speech come staggering out
And it can climb its way to the top of that cloud
Oh I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now
I'm away with the fairies now

I belong with your arms wrapped around my neck
Your lips glistening in the light
Of some headlights passing by
Hold the thought
I hold the thought
Walking back towards your house
Raindrops bouncing off the leaves
Down to our September kiss

Flying over bus stops and playgrounds
I'm here
Soaked right to the core
We'll stay here forever
I'm safe with you

If all the words I ever wrote
On the back of envelopes
I could fold to paper planes
I would fly them through your veins
Helicopters overhead
Are wide awake at 3am
Now the ink runs to your heart
And you know just how I feel

Flying over bus stops and playgrounds
I'm here
Soaked right to the core
We'll stay here forever
I'm safe with you

Flying over bus stops and playgrounds
I'm here
Soaked right to the core
We'll stay here forever
I'm safe

It's gonna be it
It's gonna be it...

Let's fall in love again
Dive through windows and rescue our friends
How long till this makes sense
Let's fall in love again
Dive through windows and rescue our friends
How long till this makes sense

It's coming out loud and it's taking over
Bleeding right out of the summer sky
It's coming out loud and it's taking over
We give it our all so we don't know why we can't
Slow it down
It's way too fast
Slow it down
It's way too fast

We're going on a search in some second hand stores
We've got to get back what we all threw away
We're going on a search in the middle of nowhere
We don't know what we're doing
But we got to just give a go

Let's fall in love again
Dive through windows and rescue our friends
How long till this makes sense
Let's fall in love again
Dive through windows and rescue our friends
How long till this makes sense

Let's sing that song again
Cause it's been messed up for years
Let's make it ours again

Desperate like rainforest trees
Straining towards broken light
All fighting for their lives

Let's sing for Canada
Cause that's where this song began
Born out of true romance

Oh it's coming out loud and it's taking over
Bleeding right out of the summer sky
It's coming out loud and it's taking over
We give it our all so we don't know why we can't
Slow it down
It's way too fast
Slow it down
It's way too fast

We're going on a search in some second hand stores
We've got to get back what we all threw away
We're going on a search in the middle of nowhere
We don't know what we're doing
But we got to just give a go

Slow it down it's way too fast
Slow it down it's way too fast
Slow it down it's way too fast
Slow it down it's way too fast

Put your finger on my lips
We could be a grown up fairytale
Swimming in the library
But we’re not going anywhere
She said I love it
Oh I love it when we touch
When we touch on something
We can’t find in any book

At least I’m not on my own
In this ocean of words
At least I’m not on my own

We cover up with blankets
Cover up with blankets from the years
That our parents gave us
To keep out the cold and the unknown
Then the library grew
Into a forest of desire
Cut down some friends that I knew
Who were gonna start a forest fire

At least I’m not on my own
In this ocean of words
At least I’m not on my own

At least I’m not on my own
In this ocean of words
At least I’m not on my own

She said I love it
Oh I love it when we touch
When we touch on something
We can’t find in any book

He sees the flames in her tears
Sketching on her skin and he knows
That it’s come to an end
And there’s no point pretending it’s not

And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here
And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here

So she smashes the glass
And there’s blood on her hands and her skirt
There’s the wind and the sun
And fresh air in their lungs once again

And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here
And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here

So he closes his eyes and thinks
Maybe I’ll be surprised if I do
I just might fall into another realm
And make a new home there with you

And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here
And it’s a long way down
It’s a long way down from here

It’s best not to think about
Just put your arms around me
It’s best not to think about
Just put your arms around me
It’s best not to think about
Just put your arms around me

Do you know what we've fighting for?
Well let's fight, let's fight.
Do you know what we're asking for?
'Cos I don't sometimes.
I just want to kick off at something,
Go to town and then make a scene.
We're not sure what we're fighting for but we'll fight.

And I just want to give you something that I haven't got.
I'm a walking advertisement of both light and dark.
Oh I'm not making any sense, I'm not making any sense,
I mess up but don't forget that...

This is what I sound like,
This is what I sound like,
Just to remind myself
That this is what I sound like.

I was lost in a hotel bomb, I was lost, I was lost.
Is someone out there just laughing at us?
'Cos it seems that way.
We'll stop at nothing to get what we want,
Too young to realise we're all the same.
I was lost in a hotel bomb, I was lost.

And I just want to give you something that I haven't got.
I'm a walking advertisement of both light and dark.
Oh I'm not making any sense, I'm not making any sense,
I mess up but don't forget that...

This is what I sound like,
This is what I sound like,
Just to remind myself
That this is what I sound like.
