"Exit Forward" lyrics

Meric Long & The Dodos Lyrics

"Exit Forward"

Your time is up
How does that feel?
You're holding a photograph
When nothing is still
I hate the wind
And gone is my sail
It might be the final act
How does it feel?

I tried so hard not to let you down
Did it go wrong?
Feasting on the wire
I can't go on
Will this turn around?
Is that still us
Burning in the fire?

This time you won't
Call it a drill
You're having a heart attack
Wasn't it real?
Countdown to what
Does it exist?
You're writing an autograph
Does it appear?

I tried so hard not to let you down
Did it go wrong?
Feasting on the wire
I can't go on
Will this turn around?
Is that still us
Burning in the fire?

This time you won't, this time you won't be getting off

This time you won't, this time you won't be getting off
This time you won't, this time you won't be getting off
This time you won't, this time you won't be getting off
This time you won't, this time you won't be getting off
This time you won't, this time you won't be getting off
This time you won't, this time you won't be getting off
