these machines are always running

like the rivers and the clocks

and these wheels don’t get tired of turning

on and on and up and up

and everybody’s going somewhere

something’s always going on

we barely blink, we might miss out

on so much laughter, so much fun

we want our names on all the lists

don’t really mind if they’re misspelled

and if nobody takes a picture

we take pictures of ourselves

look at us

look how we shine

look how we celebrate our time

the greenest grass

right at our feet

look how we skip from peak to peak

and so we’re drifting downstream

exposed but unseen

all covered in exclamation marks

give me something tender

something i'll remember

a touch or a beat, a wave of heat

that hits the heart

it’s hard to bear the sound of silence

and we get bored quite easily

have you heard this song i found it

like it, like it, like me please

and so we’ll fast forward to the chorus

join the choir, spread the words

i’ll take my finger off the trigger

just take yours off the trigger first

look at us

look how we shine

look how it eats up all our time

so we’re drifting downstream

exposed but unseen

all covered in exclamation marks

give me something tender

something i'll remember

a touch, a beat, a wave of heat

that hits the heart

a touch, a beat, a wave of heat

that hits the heart

that hits the heart

come hit my heart

on and on and on

so we’re drifting downstream

exposed but unseen

all covered in exclamation marks

give me something tender

something i'll remember

something i'll remember

a touch, a beat, a wave of heat

that hits the heart

a thought that sticks and flips the switch

and shakes me up

a little thing that i let in

a word that sparks

and hits my heart

come hit my h
