Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You lost your mind
I could not go
What little time we spent
A penny on the floor
My desperation
A spinning top
Revolving on and on
A world that never stops
[Verse 2]
Is it all mine?
How could I know?
We threw the rind away
Swallowed all the core
Tried levitation
You're not alone
The stars are holding open
A door we'll never close
[Verse 3]
I have an engine made of gold
Something so beautiful
The world will never know
Our roots are stronger than you know
Up through the concrete they will grow
[Verse 4]
Is it all mine?
I can't let go
What little time we spent
A penny on the floor
My desperation
Is this a curse
Till death do us part
For better or for worse
[Verse 5]
I have an engine made of gold
Something so beautiful
The world will never know
Our roots are stronger than you know
Up through the concrete they will grow
[Verse 6]
Our roots are stronger than you know
Up through the concrete we will grow
