Guster - Evermotion Album Lyrics

Long Night

It was a long night for everyone,
The moon yields to a sober sun and her virgin light

Can't unsee the things I saw
Fallen devils, false gods
In the violet light

Was it always this magnificent, cause it feels so different
In the morning light

Like the first word from your first born
Landscape transformed by the virgin light

How many times I've wished for change
Gave up, gave in, and called it fate
Repeating all of the same mistakes
Wasn't ready for what I'd find

Whatever it is has turned the knife
It was a long, long night

It was a long night for everyone,
Felt the dull hum of wanderlust
In the morning light

Can't unsee the things I saw
Fallen devils false gods
In the violent light

But now I finally see the sun
Drew out my wings flew over high tide
It looks much different in the daylight

How many times I've wished for change
Gave up, gave in, and called it fate
Repeating all of the same mistakes
Wasn't ready for what I'd find

Whatever it is has turned the knife
It was a long, long night

I'm finally reachin' to the sun
10,000 years there is a long time
Did you getaway?!

I'm finally reachin' to the sun
10,000 years there is a long time
Did you getaway!?

Endlessly

So come on, love
We can make this right
If you want love
Then come back inside
Cause we had love
We just let it slide

I tried to take your picture; you covered up your eyes
Afraid of what I'd see, afraid of what I'd find
A Polaroid that won't come through, you've disappeared
And all I see is a drawn outline, ghosts in the mine
Marking time

So come on, love
We can make this right
If you want love
Then come back inside
Cause we had love
We just let it slide

Endlessly, we move asleep
Desperately, carelessly
Walk with me
Talk to me
Eventually, we'll get it right

So come on, love
We can make this right
If you want love
Then come back inside
Cause we had love
We just let it slide

Endlessly, we move asleep
Desperately, carelessly
Walk with me
Talk to me
Eventually, we'll get it right

Doin' It By Myself

Everyone is sleeping
Everything is perfect
This is our chance
This is our time
Come, come real quick
Let's feel alive, feel alive

We're no longer babies
Pure, pristine, unbroken
So learn how to walk
But all we want is to fly
The game is fixed
But that's being alive, being alive, being alive
That's being alive

If you don't come, I'm doin' it by myself
If you don't care, I'll do it by myself (By myself!)

Gentlemen and ladies
Charlatans and perverts
But now they'll confess
Confess to their crimes
Let's flip the switch
We can be alive, be alive, feel alive
Let's feel alive

If you don't come, I'm doin' it by myself
If you don't care, I'll do it by myself, yeah
I want you to know, I'm gonna do it by myself
So [?], I'll do it by myself
Do it by myself!
By myself!

Lazy Love

Wake on up, let's not get lazy, love
We're always so lazy, love
We're wasting our time

When we came up, we were amazing, love
We were amazing, love
We were divine

Come on up, let's not get lazy, love
We're always so lazy, love
Wasting our time

When we came up, we were amazing, love
Let's get amazing, love
We are divine

Simple Machine

Static, steady, plastic, motion
Lights flash, beating, almost, breathing

I'll never find my way back
I'll never find my way back home

Empty, hollow, spit and swallowed
Preachers preaching, courage, ceded

I'll never find my way back
I'll never find my way back home

So just forget about me, I will get by on myself
I'm not a simple machine, I have become something else

I'll never find my way back
I'll never find my way back home

Wise up, scarecrow, this is treason
Coal eyes see it, straw heart beating

I'll never find my way back
I'll never find my way back home

So just forget about me, I will get by on myself
I'm not a simple machine, I have become someone else

I'll never find my way back
I'll never find my way back home

Ever after, I get further
Who will still be waiting
Ever after, it gets further
I can feel you fading

Expectation

I'm alive
That's the expectation
Oh no
Feels like
I'm guided by the light
Who could say
Lets crack the combination
Oh no
Feel myself fading towards the fire
There are no arguments in heaven
No more uneasiness that lingers
Just people hanging round forever
I'm blind

I've flown away
Despite the elevation
Oh no
Feels like I'm gliding towards the light
There are no arguments in heaven
No marble men with trigger fingers
Just people hanging out forever
Alive
Float away and trace the constellations
Oh no
Feels like I'm falling towards the sky
I'm not afraid
to fire the expectations
Oh no
Seems like I'm flooded by the light
The gates are guarded up in heaven
by two archangels and a tiger
My father's standing at the station
Goodbye
Feels like I'm walking towards the light

Gangway

If I could make a wish
If I could right a wrong
If I could plot a twist
We wouldn't be here long

I'd lean into each turns
seeking of emotions
See the walls, the house
The sky starts shaking
The clouds, the land, the sea
Gave way

I'm swinging with my fists
Shouting with these lungs
La la la la la la la la da da
With tongue and teeth and lips
We're screaming out a song

I'd lean into each turns
seeking of emotions
See the walls, the house
The sky starts shaking
The clouds, the land, the sea
Gave way

La la la la la la la la da da

I'd lean into each turns
seeking of emotions
Now the walls, the house
The sky starts shaking
The clouds, the land, the sea
Gave way

whoah oh oh

Kid Dreams

If I can make a wish
If I can right a wrong
If I could plot a twist
We wouldn't be here long

I lean into each turn
Seeking ever motion
Soon the walls, the house
The sky start shaking the clouds
The man, the seed
Gave away

Swinging with my fish
Out with these lungs
Da da da da da da
They turn and leaves
Screaming out a song son

I lean into each turn
Seeking ever motion
Soon the walls, the house
The sky start shaking the clouds
The man, the seed
Gave away

I lean into each turn
Seeking ever motion
Now the walls, the house
The sky start shaking the clouds
The man, the seed
Gave away

Never Coming Down

Saddle up next to me
We can go kickin' seashells in the sky
My, my, we're never coming down

Open up a box of bees
We can go buzzin' rooftops all night long
We're gone and never coming down

Everybody knows that it's time to disco
Gotta put the chickens in when the sun goes down
Everbody knows when you climb the rings
We dance with the kings and queens
And it's true, I know, we're never coming down

Everybody knows that it's time to disco
Better put the chickens in when the wolves come out
Everybody knows when you climb the rings
You drink with the kings and queens
And it's true, I know, we're never coming down

Away we go, I know, we're never coming down

It Is Just What It Is

I've been sitting here for hours, watchin' as this city's days unfold
The subway sends vibrations and carries them away

I'm not gonna lie or get hung up about it
I stumble and fall and try to find myself a girl
Some things you can change and then some things, they just resist

All around the world, the saviors are saving
Movers move along, the soldiers parading to the click
It is just what it is, it is just what it is

I've never had much motion or drank the Kool-Aid potion
Or dreamed of situations to carry me away

I'm not gonna lie, I get strung out about it
I stumble and fall and try to find myself a girl
Some things you can change and then some things, they just persist

All around the world, the saviors are saving
Movers move along, the soldiers parading to the click
It is just what it is

Presidents and thieves on thrones and in cages
Shake their fists at God and her persuasion, it's a trick
It is just what it is, it is just what it is

It is just what it is, it is just what it is
It's just what it is, it's just what it is

Farewell

Who you talkin' to?
A wish that will never come true
You tried to beat gravity, now what can you do?

Ahh, goodbye, farewell, tonight

Are you still consumed?
A wish can't make something untrue
You tried to cheat gravity, now what will you do?

Ahh, goodbye, farewell, tonight

Fly with me, take my hands, we are free
We can disappear from the others

Laugh with me, take my hand, we are free
We will disappear to the other
