Avolition Lyrics

You're never gonna get this, never gonna get this,
Get up, get that grin up off—
You're never gonna see me, never gonna see me,
See the way you walked away,

You're always going to be a pawn in my games—
Always see me when you look in his face—
I remember the time that we smoked after class,
In my parents van the cigarettes burned so fast,
Until our fingertips were black with lust,
From the lips and the hearts of the ones you trust.

You're never gonna get this, never gonna get this—

We started out together on the east coast,
I never want to feel this way again…
You asked me why, you shouldn't have to try,
To fall for me again…

So tell me again what it's like to believe,
When your life's in a bag and your heart's on your sleeve.
There's a place in the west where the kids never sleep,
And the dreamers all win, and the winners are beat,
At the corner of State street and the galaxy's end,
If you find me there, I'll never see you again.

[Chorus]

This stupid story is getting old,
We're growing younger but we're feeling bold.
Like the way that we run from our fears and our past,
And the time we smoked, that time after class…

I don't remember what we said last winter, always wanting more.
You asked me why, you shouldn't have to try,
To fall for me again…
[Chorus]
You'll drag me down again…
