Sylvester Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Couldn’t ever let go of a what if
I can turn right up where I'm not wanted
And I can read your mind in hindsight
Tell me I'm clever, tell me I'm alright
[Chorus]
But hey, how long can you keep your head under water?
See how fast I can run that track
All your faith is unravelling, travelling
All that heart yet you can't look back
[Verse 2]
If you gave me a rope I would walk it
Anything to please you, what do I get?
Forget about the past and look at me
I can do a dance I can be Sylvester still, I promise you
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know better I think
About it all the time
[Chorus]
So hey, how long can you keep your head under water?
See how fast I can run that track
All your faith is unravelling travelling
All that heart yet you can't look back
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know better I think
About it all the time
And I was better before
Don’t try to remind me
[Chorus]
So hey, how long can I keep my head under water?
See how fast I can run that track
All my faith is unravelling, travelling
All that heart yet you can't look back

Relational dynamics have often felt like a performance to me which has left me fe...
