Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sailing through the tunnels
In the morning, by yourself
There's a very special feeling
True sensation, all is well
If you stand and reach your arms out wide
Close your eyes and try to fly
It's an underground illusion
Tricking you from side to side
[PreChorus]
We knew all the answers
And we shouted them like anthems
Anxious and suspicious
That God knew how much we cheated
[Chorus]
It can't come quickly enough
And now you've spent your life waitin' for this moment
And when you finally saw it come
It passed you by and left you so defeated
[Verse 2]
Skyscrapers rise between us
Keeping me from finding you
If the concrete architecture
Disappeared there'd be so few
Of us left to navigate
And defend ourselves from the tide
It's an underground illusion
Tricking you from side to side
[PreChorus]
There's no indication of
What we were meant to be
Sucking up to strangers
Throwing wishes to the sea
[Chorus]
It can't come quickly enough
And now you've spent your life waitin' for this moment
And when you finally saw it come
It passed you by and left you so defeated
[Chorus]
It can't come quickly enough
And now you've spent your life waitin' for this moment
And when you finally saw it come
It passed you by and left you so defeated
[Chorus]
It can't come quickly enough
And now you've spent your life waitin' for this moment
And when you finally saw it come
It passed you by and left you so defeated
[Chorus]
It can't come quickly enough
And now you've spent your life waitin' for this moment
And when you finally saw it come
It passed you by and left you so defeated
