Flatound - You Said Okay Lyrics
It all started with closed eyesAnd a feeling in my gut telling meI need to keep them shut the whole timeBecause they opened even for a second and I saw your lipsThey’d suck me in like black holes when they bend lightAnd it was then I realized you were not my worldYou were my universeSometimes when I look up I see starsThat cut through the sky and fade quickly into nothingnessAnd I pray that you aren’t as fleetingBecause when we’re lying in roads I get the same feelingThat gravity will just turn off and I’ll fall endlesslyInto something much larger than I amAnd I wonder if that’s what it feels like to die andIf I’ll ever understand god in my lifespanBecause I want to see godI want to know what god feels likeBut with the weight of the bible I will break Adam's ribsAnd repeat, my dear eve, you do not take after thisYou were not made in a mans imageBut if that’s the case why do you feel so lostIn the empty space that his hand isn’tWhy do I wait wondering how long it’ll take you to admit itI’d rather keep my mouth shut then start to say what I can’t finishBaby I have limitsSo I’m singing ‘la la la’ in empty rooms that carry sounds like hollow caves'La la la' just to prove you're not the only one that can occupy a borrowed space'La la la' for every ship that was set to sail but got washed awayI’m singing ‘la la la’ in desperate hopes that when it bounces back I hear the octave changeSo if we could just pretend that your voice exists inside this empty void withinThen holy shit, holy shit, holy shit if you spokeInsomnia might loosen it's wholesome grip on my throatAnd I can begin to forgive you for admitting the hoaxInstead of learning to hate you for very minute you don’tBecause I sit here wondering if anything you said was trueAnd who it was that taught you to speak bulletsWithout considering the exit woundTell me whoBecause I still think back to the first time you called me with nothing to sayThat morning you were more than just my friend and we both noticed something had changedYou drove to your parents house and we talked about everythingWe talked about how much it sucked, but no matter what, we had to remainNothingAnd in that deafening silenceI asked if I could still call you my snowflakeAnd you said okay
