Nothing But Thieves

Life's Coming in Slow

The sand in the hourglass keeps dripping away
Yeah, you can turn it over, but the feeling stays the same
So let's get carried, let's get carried away
Set my mind on fire like metal in a microwave
'Cause life's been coming in (so slow)
I'm starting to fade (you know)
Need something tangible (to hold)
Before I slip away
Graffiti on the overpass says there's no escape
This traffic jam is boring and my girlfriend's kinda lame
So let's get carried, let's get carried away
Yeah, give me glam stomp heavy metal on a radio wave
'Cause life's been coming in (so slow)
I'm starting to fade (you know)
Need something tangible (to hold)
Before I slip away
Yeah, life's been coming in (so slow)
And I don't wanna wait (you know)
Need something physical (to hold)
Before I slip away
I like to go fast, not slow
Need to get high, not low, low, low
'Cause life's been coming in (so slow)
I'm starting to fade (you know)
Need something tangible (to hold)
Before I slip away
Yeah, life's been coming in (so slow)
And I don't wanna wait (you know)
Need something physical (to hold)
Before I slip away
