Featherweight

(앨범: Time Will Wait For No One - 2023)

It was like a movie
On the waves at night
Barely escaping with our lives
We took your boat from Red Hook
Towards the copper lights
We had forever
But no time

I didn't know you could look at me that way
I know the guard
Under your skin
But when the lights came up
You were still dancing
Off with your head
What's left at stake
You were still standing like
A featherweight

It was like a movie
Knocking on the door
Whispering the password
Radical believes
Forgive you if your stray
A notion of doubt
Is no match for an ounce of faith

I didn't know you could look at me that way
I know the guard
Under your skin
But when the lights came up
You were still dancing
Off with your head
What's left at stake
You were still standing like
A featherweight

Come back down
You're floating now
You don't need to wake up
Now that you've stayed
Up all night long
You're floating now
