Lyrics
[Intro]
Spend time with the energy
Spend time with the energy
Spend time
With the enemy
[Verse 1]
At college I started my own band
And then I dropped out to play shows
Found me a room where I live and rehearse
I'm pretty excited to see how it goes
Is what I would've said to the cousins I love at Christmas dinner
When they asked me what I was up to
If I had courage left
Instead I told 'em I was teaching drum set
[PreChorus]
I couldn't let it
I couldn't let it
I couldn't let myself let it in
I couldn't let it
I couldn't let it
I couldn't let it
I couldn't let myself
[Chorus]
Spend time with the energy
Spend time with the energy
Spend time
With the enemy
[Verse 2]
And then my mother, she pulled me aside
Well, looked me in the eye
Said, "Why you saying that?
You're really doin' the band, don't be ashamed of it"
Back in my room, drumming with Paul
He can rip it up like an animal
But when it was my turn, I couldn't let go
Or get out of my head or into the flow
[PreChorus]
I couldn't let it
I couldn't let it
I couldn't let myself let it in
I couldn't let it
I couldn't let it
I couldn't let it
I couldn't let myself
[Chorus]
Spend time with the energy
Spend time with the energy
Spend time
With the enemy
