Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been colder Watching Harry Potter, looking older I've been hoping I have what it takes to keep rolling That the rise and the fall of the tide Won't catch me and wash me aside If I sit here and watch Harry Potter Will I be alright? [Verse 2] When I was little, I ran up the hill Chased cars and felt I didn't think I had much time Much time, much time And up where I'd climbed, it felt so pretty All the water flowed in from the sea to the city And I felt my life My life, my life [Chorus] But I've been colder Sitting in my bedroom, looking older Feeling like I'm underwater, smiling like a lie Holding on to it all too tight I've been hoping I have what it takes to keep rolling 'Cause I will not stay underwater, I'll walk outside I'll split the sky, I'll be alright [Verse 3] I remember being seventeen Drinking cheap wine, sitting on suburban streets To the galaxy, feeling everything We were the cowboys who threw up in taxis Feels different being twenty-three I still throw up and I don't feel like me Now Curtis is working in sales And I'd say I've lost my way a little bit [Chorus] But I've been colder Sitting in my bedroom, looking older Feeling like I'm underwater, smiling like a lie Holding on to it all too tight I've been hoping I have what it takes to keep rolling 'Cause I will not stay underwater, I'll walk outside I'll split the sky, I'll be alright [Post-Chorus] Tell all my friends, tell all my friends [Bridge] And I've been hopeless Standing on the edge and looking over When the night sits, heavy his hands on my shoulders Somewhere I can see a light on Maybe there's always a light on Maybe I've held on some time and I just need to cry Maybe life is ten colours on top of each other It goes and it stops, it all comes at once It's grief, love and time, it's the seasons gone wild A cathedral at night, it's an ocean of tides [Chorus] But I've been colder Watching Harry Potter, looking older Feeling like I'm underwater, smiling like a lie Holding on to it all too tight I've been hoping I have what it takes to keep rolling 'Cause I will not stay underwater, I'll walk outside I'll split the sky, I'll be alright [Post-Chorus] Tell all my friends, tell all my friends Tell all my friends, tell all my friends I'll be alright Tell all my friends, tell all my friends Tell all my friends, tell all my friends [Outro] And up where I'd climbed and felt so pretty All the water flowed in from the sea to the city
