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 I’m falling down
Or is the world bending?
No, I’m falling down
A slowing minute hand
Is coming to a standstill
No need to make a call
‘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
There’ll be songs
There’ll be sunlight
It’s alive
Coming up
It’s the highlight of my life
It wakes up on its bad side
It’s alright
There’ll be songs
There’ll be sunlight

What a wise girl
What a wise girl you are
Keep dreaming about everything
When they will shout
You will sing
Wouldn’t you have liked to know?
A brush on the arm
A graze, a stroke?
Wouldn’t you have liked to know
A word of comfort
My song bird?

‘Till the end of time
I will look over my shoulder
You’re gliding now
Ever down I see you slippin’
I see you drown
Sing for me
‘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
‘Till the end of time
I will look over my shoulder
‘Till the end of time
I will look over my shoulder
