From Elizabeth Stokes interview on undertheradar.co.nz:
I started this song late last year but only finished it earlier this year, so it’s one of our newest songs that will be on the record. Making an album is this weird thing that has taken us a long time to do, and I feel like for me, in the same...
[Verse 1]
My eyelids float between two states
On the borderline flows a slow intake
They don't let much in, I don't let much out
Just a broken bulb flickering with doubt
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, it happens all the time
[Verse 2]
Misery loves me but I don't love her
It's a one-way street circling planet earth
If I take a right maybe I'll outrun
To the great unknown goes the great no one
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah (Yeah, yeah), it happens all the time
Yeah (Yeah, yeah), it happens all the time
[Chorus]
Wanna move, I do, I do, I do
Tryin' to get this right, I'm losin' the appetite
It's not the way I'd choose, I'd choose, I'd choose
Always caught in between the ache and the apathy
[Verse 3]
If there is a record for the most hours wasted
Least worthy reason to cry on a Thursday evening
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm in the lead (Yeah, yeah, yeah), it happens all the time
Yeah, it happens all the time
[Chorus]
Wanna move, I do, I do, I do
Tryin' to get this right, I'm losin' the appetite
It's not the way I'd choose, I'd choose, I'd choose
Always caught in between the ache and the apathy
[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Staring up at the stars at night
I know their light is so
Behind the times
The more I live in the world, I find
Seclusion's pleasing, it's an illusion
[Chorus]
Wanna move, I do, I do, I do
Tryin' to get this right, I'm losing the appetite
It's not the way I'd choose, I'd choose, I'd choose
Always caught in between, always caught in between
