Tension Shift
(mhm) Hey, don't you
know
about the world now?
Streets keep spinning while the clocks run down
Nobody listens to the quiet in this town Looking out the glass
at the morning freeze Trying to catch a whisper in a heavy
breeze (yeah)
Pressure rising on the avenue
Too many promises they never carry through
Are you hearing what I say to you?
Hey,
don't you know about the world now?
(oh you got to know)
Spinning round and breaking down somehow
Every single truth getting harder to hold
Hey,
don't you know about the world now?
We chase the paper till our hands turn grey
Throwing the best of our minutes away Seen too many friends let
the fire grow cold Trading up their youth just to fit in
the mold (tell me why)
Pressure rising on the avenue
Can you tell me what we're supposed to do?
Take a breath before we miss the cue
Hey,
don't you know about the world now?
(tell me, don't you know?) Spinning round and breaking down somehow
Every single truth getting harder to hold
Hey,
don't you know about the world now?
Hey, don't you know...
(dontcha know now) About the world now... (ahhhh)
