Cavetown - Running With Scissors Lyrics

Cavetown Lyrics

"Running With Scissors"

I think this life is a circle, a line with a bend
Never-ending, eternal, again and again
Just a matter of time till the lines intersect
Trickle down in a spiral, I just want to forget

I want to forget everything
I want to forget everything
I want to forget everything
I want to forget everything

You look like your father, baby face
You sound like your mother, how cliché
You hold up a mirror, demonstrate
I rush like a river, tempting fate
You're running with scissors, I'm the same

Everybody's a copy, everybody's in drag
Every man is a baby, always kicking the can
He gets it, kinda vaguely, butterfly in the net
I just want you to see me, she just wants to forget

I want to forget everything
I want to forget everything
I want to forget everything
I want to forget everything
