Letra de I Loved to Watch Them

These kids i met dressed like insubordination
Hopped the latest trend to the nearest bus station
I admit back then i did not know such contempt
I was swept by the current and i just loved to watch them dance
To the rhythm of their stride, their oscillating groove
Unchecked and wild. the smile i can't hide
Creeps slowly from behind. the blood drains from my heart
And reminds me I'm alive. i loved to watch them dance
At those old shows, the whole world outside faded
The chaos we chose was just less complicated
The sense of control was the thing we were after
When things fell apart, we kept up, we moved faster
The drums out and the tension thickened
We held our breath, til the beat kicked back in
Then everyone was moving, everyone was moving
No one took the time to breath. (badmouth)
You try to take a breath? well not in this life
I've got my reasons to be here. i love to watch them dance
To the rhythm of their stride, their oscillating groove
Unchecked and wild. the smile i can't hide
Creeps slowly from behind. the blood drains from my heart
And proves that I'm alive. i loved to watch them...
Bitter to the connection i'd felt when i was young
It no longer fazed me, that i'd thought
"this could be the one, that finally fucking saves me."
I'd only come around to see if there was something left for me
But all the kids, they just seemed fucking crazy. all thinking:
"this could be the one, that finally fucking saves me."
We carried on, carried on until the sun had almost come
But it was just something to believe in
And in the end it wasn't what we needed
It seemed the smallest of concessions
But i never found a soul with the heart to mention
Just how they'd jumped at the promise of redemption
But what meant most was once we'd faded and became ghosts
To let go, when you'd lost hope
