lyrics

You've made your stamp
On this freezing room of mine
I bet you're running out of questions
While overflowing with time

I've got a boatload of them
But the waters aren't clear
Cool as a sea cucumber
I'll just wait out the big waves
I'll just wait out the big waves

Are we both playing it cool
Man, you're acting like a fool here
Not from the chase but from the spotlight
Running from another heart heist
There's no need for things to change
Wait for seasons to rearrange
All what's kind, all what's kind and all what's heavy
Then it starts, when things get ready

I remember home eyes
At the starting of this life
Not that you're the start at all
Rather, time and place and situation
Got that big walking blister
And the weather's far too cold
And please act the way you'll care
I'll wait till friends have told me

That you're just trying to play it cool
But man, you're acting like a fool here
Not from the chase but from the spotlight
Only lovers tell of heart Geist's
There's no need for things to change
Wait for seasons to rearrange
All what's kind, all what's kind and all what's heavy
Then it starts, when things get ready

It's no use, I'm gonna yell it
One day soon under the spell of it
Cliché rhymes, too much caring
Over time and under preparing
Hate the bias undermining hearts
But come on, it's stuff that tears apart even you
You know it's true, masculinity askew
Wanting to ask all these questions

Are we both playing it cool
Man, I'm acting like a fool here
Not from the chase but from the spotlight
Running from another heart heist
There's no need for things to change
Wait for seasons to rearrange
All what's kind, all what's kind and all what's heavy
All what's kind, all what's kind and all what's heavy
Then it starts, when things get ready
