  • So you got away, something brought you back
    To the kid that you were
    For a couple days everything you lacked
    You possessed, it was yours

    Started slow, started late
    Started strong, then we lost faith
    Started slow, started to lose control
    The more we accelerate

    With your hollow eyes, you keep coming back
    It begins to transform
    Can you spend the night? Can you be the raft
    In the eye of the storm?

    Started slow, started late
    Started strong, then we lost faith
    Started slow, started to lose control
    The more we accelerate, the more we accelerate

    Can I send this kiss right to you now?
    'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
    Can I return this kiss that you gave?
    Already know it's borrowed anyway
    Was the risk I sent to you received?
    All the words we say to be believed?
    I'm already over the thrill of pursuit
    Where can I take the risk I took with you?
    Send this kiss to someone new?

    So you're beaten up but you bounce back
    It's all part of the pull
    And the story runs like a soundtrack
    We repeat 'til we're full

    Started slow, started late
    Started strong, then we lost faith
    Started slow, started to lose control
    The more we accelerate, the more we accelerate

    Can I send this kiss right to you now?
    'Cause the risk belongs with you somehow
    Can I return this kiss that you gave?
    Already know it's borrowed anyway
    Was the risk I sent to you received?
    All the words we say to be believed?
    I'm already over the thrill of pursuit
    Where can I take the risk I took with you?
    Send this kiss to someone new?

    So there's no way to hide
    Find some daylight
    There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
    And I'm inclined to try
    Find some daylight
    Hollow eyes
    There's another way to leave the Garden of Eden
    And I'm inclined to try Writer/s: Emily Haines, James Shaw
