Lizzy McAlpine - Older Lyrics
The Elevator
It wasn't slow, it happened fast
+
And suddenly the only thing I saw was you (mm-mm, mm-mm)
+
I didn't know the half of it
+
And suddenly I had everything to lose (mm-mm, mm-mm)
+
Can we stay like this forever?
+
Can we be here in this room 'til we die?

Come Down Soon
He leans out the window
+
Of the car as it rolls away
+
He says, "Do you come here often?"
+
I have to laugh, 'cause that's so cliché
+
So he parks just to walk me in
+
He says, "Do you wanna leave yet?"
+
Only if I leave with him
+
Oh, it'll come down soon
+
Nothing this good ever lasts this long for me
+
Oh, it'll come down soon, you'll see
+
Oh, it'll come down soon
+
Nothing this good's ever really good for me
+
Oh, it'll come down soon, you'll see
+
He offers in his outstretched hand
+
I remind him, "I don't smoke these"
+
Music spills onto the dirt
+
But we stand here in the freezing cold
+
And wonder who will kiss who first
+
I'm biding time 'til it disappears
+
Oh, it'll come down soon
+
Nothing this good ever lasts this long for me
+
Oh, it'll come down soon, you'll see
+
Oh, it'll come down soon
+
Nothing this good's ever really good for me
+
Oh, it'll come down soon, you'll see
+
Oh, it'll come down soon (soon)
+
Ooh-ooh-ooh, it'll come down soon (soon)
+
Oh, it'll come down soon

Like It Tends To Do
I don't know where we stand anymore
+
We have cordial conversations
+
Don't know why I feel I'm faking something
+
I don't know what to do with my hands anymore
+
Feels exactly like it was
+
But at the same time it feels so different
+
If we were standing in the same room
+
Would we be in separate corners?
+
Would I actively avoid you?
+
If we were standing in the same room
+
Would you find a little window and finally make your move?
+
Would it feel like it felt when we had nothing to lose?
+
Or would everything have changed
+
I've been standing in the same room
+
People enter one by one
+
And I've stopped hoping they'll be you
+
I've been standing in the same room
+
You don't visit anymore
+
But you showed up before the move
+
I can't tell if it felt like we had nothing to lose
+
Or if everything has changed
+

Movie Star
I'm special, he sees me
+
He chose me out of everyone
+
I feel like a movie star in the leading role
+
Will your friends be there?
+
Even if they are, I don't care
+
Wish someone would stop me but they never will
+
(Over, over, over, and over)
+
(Over, over and over, over and over, and over)
+
I wanna change, I wanna grow
+
But it's physically impossible
+
To stand here and not say that I love you
+
What are you changing about me?
+
I feel like a movie star, but it's getting old
+
Being famous for someone
+

All Falls Down
Hollowed out, tell me how to be
+
More like you today, more than a shell of me
+
Couldn't say who I am right now
+
Tell me how to keep the time from sticking around
+
'Cause it all falls down on you at the same time
+
Yeah, it all falls down on you at the same time
+
Twenty-three and a sold out show
+
I am happy, but I'll probably cry after you go home
+
Doing fine like I always am
+
Am I that good of a liar that I believe myself again?
+
And it all falls down on you at the same time
+
Yeah, it all falls down on you at the same time
+
Twenty-two was a panic attack
+
I can't stop the time from moving and I can never get it back
+
'Cause it all falls down on you
+
And it all falls down on you
+
Then it all falls down on you
+
And it all falls down on you at the same time

Staying
Whisper to me, baby, I'm too far gone to care
+
I wish I could have said what I meant when I was right there
+
Now I'm laying in bed with you, and you're falling asleep
+
How can you look so peaceful when you know I'm gonna leave?
+
What happens when you love me dry?
+
I give myself to help you get by
+
I keep on lying and sweating at night
+
Hold me until someone sends me a sign
+
Maybe I would be okay if I let this go forever
+
Send it into space and watch the planet stir
+
Maybe I will someday let this go forever
+
Hold me until I find enough

I Guess
Straighten your tie, we're not alone
+
I'll tell a lie just to bring you home
+
We danced together, you're not that good
+
I'll tell a lie but it's understood
+
I guess it's all about timing
+
I guess it's all about the things you want but never get
+
I guess it's all about trying
+
To love someone you've never met
+
We eat our dinner, then we undress
+
And now we're equal, more or less
+
Now I am sick and you're probably drunk
+
You're saying things and they sound like love
+
I guess it's all about timing
+
I guess it's all about the things you have but didn't want
+
I guess it's all about dying
+
Wish it was easy, I wish I knew
+
What I was doing, but I never do (here we go)

Drunk Running
What did you mean when you said that
+
Caught you in bed with a Red Bull Vodka
+
Nobody takes it from your hand
+
Break your leg drunk running
+
And then drink it backwards
+
What if it was all my fault?
+
What if I drove you to it?
+
I was only honest sometimes
+
And I think you knew it
+
Make a person out of memories they won't live up to it
+
I'm so sorry I stayed when I shouldn't
+
Nobody takes you from my hand
+
Even (even) when you (when you)
+
Break your leg drunk running
+
Someone (someone) ought to (ought to)
+
And then drink it backwards

Broken Glass
Broken glass on the table
+
Pick it up, hold it to your throat
+
I can see who you are now that the window's broke
+
Drop of blood on the carpet
+
Didn't think it would go this far
+
Don't know why I held on this long, but here we are
+
I know you've been hurt
+
But you did it first to me
+
We started with the end
+
Maybe it doesn't matter
+
Who the blame gets assigned to next
+
Nothing's ever the way that I remember it
+
You know I've been hurt
+
Did I do it worse to you?
+
We started with the end
+
I want you now, and then I don't
+
And every word is a land mine
+
I hold the glass against your throat
+
But I can't do it this time
+
It might seem like I love you
+
But I just don't want to be alone
+
We started with the end
+
We're coming to the end

You Forced Me To
You're on top of me and I'm under you
+
And it never stops, I am guilty, aren't you?
+
No one gets to win, so we will both lose
+
Tell me why you think you love me, I am guilty, you're a fool
+
I want you to hate me, I deserve it for my crimes
+
I know that I loved you but you loved me harder every time
+
I am not the same as when you met me
+
I have changed because you forced me to
+
I want you to hate me, I deserve it for my crimes

Better Than This
There's someone at my door, I can hear him knocking
+
If I let him inside it will all be true
+
I didn't know that I was capable of all of this
+
Look what I've turned into
+
What if I'm not a good person?
+
You always say that I am
+
You don't really know me at all
+
Now I think that I'm not who you think I am
+
But I like to be seen and I like to be wanted
+
Wanted to mean something now
+
And we never quite knew how to be honest
+
Honest to God I should go
+
Someone will love me better than this
+
Someone will love you better than this
+
What if I'm not a good person?
+
You always say that I am
+
You don't really know me at all
+
Now I have you right in the palm of my hand
+
'Cause I like to be seen and I like to be wanted
+
Always could count on you there
+
It's probably wrong that I never was honest
+
Honest to God I was scared
+
That someone will love me better than this
+
Someone will love you better

March
Threw a rock into the water
+
Watched it sink down to the bottom
+
Tryna find the lesson in it all, but
+
I haven't learned anything
+
Never looked much like my father
+
When you're older but somehow I feel younger
+
I see him more now that he's gone
+
Or maybe I just see him in everything
+
And how could it take so long?
+
Thought I had it handled but it slipped through
+
I didn't know it'd be this hard
+
So far away, and then it hits you
+
Called you when I heard the news
+
Spent the night lying next to you
+
What a way to start it off
+
So heavy from the start
+
And how could it take so long?
+
Thought I had it handled but it slipped through
+
Didn't know it'd be this hard
+
So far away, and then it hits you
+
So far away, and then it hits you
+
So far away, and then it hits you

Vortex
I know it's not my fault
+
But I can't say I'm blameless
+
Carry the pain 'til it stops
+
Undress it until it's nameless
+
Someday the world will stop
+
And it will feel just like this did
+
I know it's not my fault
+
Sometimes it feels like I did this
+
Someday I'll be able to let you go
+
Someday I'll be kinder to myself
+
One second into the next
+
I never know where my feet are
+
We're spinning out of a vortex
+
I don't remember who you are
+
Someday I'll be able to let you go
+
And it's harder when you know all that we know
+
And you're screaming at me, and I'm watching it fall
+
And I'm slamming the door and you make yourself tall
+
But it's always an act and it never lasts long
+
'Cause I always come back when I need a new song
+
And I'm tired of this and the way that it feels
+
I'm not there anymore, this has never been real
+
We're just awful together and awful apart
+
I don't know what to do anymore
+
Someday I'll be able to let you go
+
Someday you'll come back and I'll say no
+
