Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Bike down

Down to the downtown

Down to the lockdown

Boards, nails lie around

[Verse 2]

I crouch like a crow

Contrasting the snow

For the agony

I'd rather know

[Chorus]

'Cause blinded

I am blindsided

[Verse 3]

Peek in

Into the peer in

I'm not really like this

I'm probably plight-less

[Verse 4]

I cup the window

I'm crippled and slow

For the agony

I'd rather know

[Chorus]

'Cause blinded

I am blindsided

[Bridge]

Would you really rush out?

Would you really rush out?

Would you really rush out for me now?

Would you really rush out?

[Bridge]

Would you really rush out for me now?

Would you really rush out for me now?

Would you really rush out for me now?

Would you really rush out for me now?

[Bridge]

Ooh, for me now

Ooh, for me now

[Verse 5]

Taut line

Down to the shoreline

The end of a bloodline

The moon is a cold light

[Verse 6]

There's a pull to the flow

My feet melt the snow

For the irony

I'd rather know

[Chorus]

'Cause blinded

I was blindsided

Blinded

I was blindsided

[Outro]

Blinded (I was)

I was blindsided
