Mew – “Gliding” Lyrics

You always take the fall
And no one cares at all
A secret life in here
In morning to appear
And running past the riverbed
You cut up close the arch head
And told us about it
Now Iโ€™m falling down
Or is the world bending?
No, Iโ€™m falling down
A slowing minute hand
Is coming to a standstill
No need to make a call
โ€˜Cause nothing says it all
It takes a lot to know you
It takes a lot to love you
Just standing in the rain

Alright
Thereโ€™ll be songs
Thereโ€™ll be sunlight
Itโ€™s alive
Coming up
Itโ€™s the highlight of my life
It wakes up on its bad side
Itโ€™s alright
Thereโ€™ll be songs
Thereโ€™ll be sunlight

What a wise girl
What a wise girl you are
Keep dreaming about everything
When they will shout
You will sing
Wouldnโ€™t you have liked to know?
A brush on the arm
A graze, a stroke?
Wouldnโ€™t you have liked to know
A word of comfort
My song bird?

โ€˜Till the end of time
I will look over my shoulder
Youโ€™re gliding now
Ever down I see you slippinโ€™
I see you drown
Sing for me
โ€˜Till the end of time
I will look over my shoulder
And now you seem
Like a dream
The ever-gliding in-between
Sing for me
โ€˜Till the end of time
I will look over my shoulder
โ€˜Till the end of time
I will look over my shoulder
