Lyrics

[Intro]
Bro
Samph
Bro, wake up
[Chorus]
I wish you could, time
Time missile, back, forward
I miss you, time misuse
Time flies, life issues
[Verse 1]
Hard wired
Forever seeking out
Subjects mysterious
Like time and love
Walking through them now
I see you mirror me
We oscillate
Around each other's smiles
I think we found ourselves a sacred place
A space to dream out loud
[Verse 2]
Zero in on your eyes
The safest place
For this troubled child
Are you dreaming?
Facing infinity
My demons fly
And chase me on the ground
We grow a pair of wings
And fly on high
High, you're flying
The forest in the clouds
The trees are talking in a frequency
Something close to sound
I hear them questioning like
[Bridge]
Who do you care about?
Who's there when you're down?
Who do you care about?
Watch who you care about
[Chorus]
I miss you
Time misuse, time
Who keeps talking in my dreams?
Time flies, life issues
[Chorus]
Time missile, back forward
I miss you, time misuse
Time flies, life issues
Time flies, life issues
Back forward, I miss you
Back forward, I miss you
I miss you, time misuse
I miss you, time issues
Time flies, life issues
Time flies, life issues
[Outro]
Falling through, I was falling through clouds
And that's where I felt it
Some, some kind of spirit
