Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I never noticed
How the water broke at the surface
Water that's the colour of orange blossom
From all the plates
Stood around the sink
We rent California
Think we could make it summer to summer
Without setting foot in that woollen sea
No one tells you it's freezing, nothing here feels safe
[Chorus]
I could show you anything
House in Venice Beach where you took off your dress
You could show me anything
Colour of a page lit like a cigarette
'Cause if time is so temporary
Then let's not wait so long
Let's become the thing
We said
We want
[Verse 2]
And on the beaches they talk about God a lot
Talk about their faith
Talk about how much they've changed
They just start throwing punches when the voices came
I just start spinning, praying that my jaw won't break
[Chorus]
'Cause I could show you anything
House in Venice Beach where you took off your dress
You could show me anything
Colour of a page lit like a cigarette
'Cause if time is so temporary
Then let's not wait so long
Let's become the thing
We said
We want
[Verse 3]
Why it take so long though?
Why it take so long?
Did drinking make me sad?
Or just make it worse?
Why it take so long though?
Tell me, why it take so long?
Did running make me fast?
Or just make me first?
[Outro]
Make me first
Make me first
