Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You and me, I'm curious to see
Could we be everything you need?
You don't have to go, go, go
We can be alone, alone together in this
[Verse 2]
Yeah, uh, yeah
She just walks and talks to the noise in her heads
Safe in the middle, but destroys at the edge
Burns up the nest and poisons the eggs
When the sound hits the ground, the tone seemed to beg
For the dark, wanna dart, but it's too hard to march
When your heart's nailed down to the start, on your mark
Then a spark, but she parked, too caught up in the blitz
To risk rippin' them apart, so she wanna stay
On a high tonight to survive, the eyes pried wide down the manor
Openin' the face to be go washed and awash in the glow
With the faraway souls of downtown Atlanta
My rapport, a million similar souls signalin'
Hopin' to be a synonym for now
Put in a pill again when it drowns, when the night comes round
And the sky opens up, and the lights come down
[Verse 3]
Fluorescent, iridescent
Are you gonna take it all away?
Fluorescent, luminescent
Are you gonna take it all away?
[Verse 4]
You and me, ecstasy (X-XO)
You and me, ecstasy (XO)
Round and round, we can't slow down
Gone too far, we can't stop now (X-X-XO)
You and me, ecstasy (X-XO)
You and me, ecstasy (XO)
Round and round, we can't slow down
Gone too far, we can't stop now (X-X-XO)
[Verse 5]
Uh, she just runs, and comes to the back of the beginning
Which once was the happiness of winning
The killin' contrived a inner vibe, tried to fill her in size
But then survived the attack of other feelings
Crackin' at the seal's life, hackin' it, backin' it
Somethin' real is the key to the ease of the breeze in the ceilin's
Fauceting all the things down from the dark clouds
The valve house, canals, the foul, the undependents till it breaks
The surge, tsunamis down advantages, knockin' down establishments
Washin' out the catalyst of fate
Weight fillin' the room, moon, the moon
And the wanderlust stuck in downtown Los Angeles
(Report) A billion similar souls signalin'
Hopin' to be a synonym for now
Put in a pill again when it drowns, when the night comes 'round
And the sky opens up, and the lights come down
[Verse 6]
Fluorescent, iridescent
Are you gonna take it all away?
Fluorescent, luminescent
Are you gonna take it all away?
[Verse 7]
You and me, ecstasy (X-XO)
You and me, ecstasy (XO)
Round and round, we can't slow down
Gone too far, we can't stop now (X-X-XO)
[Verse 8]
They're right where I stay
Surround us
And the revered night, bae
They found us
[Verse 9]
Fluorescent, iridescent
Are you gonna take it all away?
Fluorescent, luminescent
Are you gonna take it all away?
[Verse 10]
Uh, they combed Earth to seek out a soul to research
Identify the atoms united to make it work
Then wreck it, re-order, re-organize, and perfect it
Then let it, forget it, they're steppin' into the method
Let it shed its aesthetics into ascetics
State of ethics vetted to better his new genetics
Medics headed where warfare's kinetic
The square's self-aware and dares to self-edit
And pregnant, batters, data no longer matters
Platter shatters, scatters the fragments all on fanatics
Damage managed, you're still be able to feel
Some of the long, lost magic of downtown Damascus
(Status) Infinity, symbol of souls signaling
Hopin' to be a synonym for now
Put in a pill again when it drowns, when the night comes 'round
And the sky opens up, and the lights come down
[Verse 11]
You and me, ecstasy (X-XO)
You and me, ecstasy (XO)
Round and round, we can't slow down
Gone too far, we can't stop now (X-X-XO)
You and me, ecstasy (X-XO)
You and me, ecstasy (XO)
Round and round, we can't slow down
Gone too far, we can't stop now (X-X-XO)
