  • This gray room,
    This bunker,
    The air is humming
    Us to sleep

    While outside,
    The city hurries;
    The endless worries
    Are out of reach

    Promise me we'll never leave this room,
    A million years from now would be too soon.

    The world is spinning turning day to night
    And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
    Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
    Absolutely still
    I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
    That every door I shut is leading me to you
    And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
    Absolutely still

    We were running
    From the same noise,
    We were stuck in
    The same pursuit

    Now the door's locked
    And I find that
    The dizzy madness
    Is bleeding through

    Promise me you'll never leave this room,
    A million years from now would be too soon.

    The world is spinning turning day to night
    And my thoughts are running at the speed of light
    Got an empty feeling that I never want to fill
    Absolutely still
    I waited longer 'cause I needed proof
    That every door I shut is leading me to you
    And there's a nervous feeling that I never want to kill
    Absolutely still

    I'll go anywhere you want tonight
    'cause my head is spinning like a satellite
    I got a restless feeling that I never want to fill
    I'm absolutely still Writer/s: KEVIN GRIFFIN, VAL EMMICH
