Our Most Brilliant Friends Lyrics

Sun is coming up slowly
I didn't read it in your star-sign or mine
God knows we're not holy
In decisions we make
And how we spend our time

But I got faster and faster
And you got harder to please
And you got harder to find
And our prayers were answered
When we wrote these songs
And we lost our minds
And all our most brilliant friends
Are doubting themselves

And we're scared about the world
The atmosphere, our bodies, and our health
So just dance with me
Move your body round this time machine
Start it again
I want you to celebrate
The fact our bodies can recreate
New versions of ourselves
We won't need help

Something's making me nervous
Running through my body
Can't remember why
We thought we had all the answers
We got the stomach to learn
But haven't got the time

Your body looks good tonight
I wonder if you'd care
If I was still in your shirt
The way we were when we first met
Before your mind filled with air and mine with dirt
And all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselves

And we're scared about the world
The atmosphere, our bodies, and our health
So just dance with me
Move your body round this time machine
Start it again
I want you to celebrate
The fact our bodies can recreate
New versions of ourselves
We won't need help

Hey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go

Hey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go!

You know that it's gonna take time don't ya?
You know that you never were right
But the fact is you're good
Yeah, we know that you're nice
But we don't get a world and we don't get a life
Where all our most brilliant friends are doubting themselves

And we're scared about the world
The atmosphere, our bodies, and our health
So just dance with me
Move your body round this time machine
Start it again, start it all again
I want you to celebrate
The fact our bodies can recreate
New versions of ourselves
We won't need helpSlow Club - Our Most Brilliant Friends - http://motolyrics.com/slow-club/our-most-brilliant-friends-lyrics.html

Hey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go

Hey hey, look at him go
Hey hey, look at him go!

* Part Two *

If dreams come true
Then you and I would make a two
And if I had one more
I'd dream that I stayed on your floor
And while my parents were alive
They'd say 'Rebecca now's the time
To play the next card to your chest'

You thought about me and you said go
I thought about that and I said no
You couldn't understand why a girl like me
Thinks the way I do
But I can't stand a boy
Who thinks things through like you

Let's go back to the beginning
Of the nights that I've been regretting
Let's go back to the beginning
Of the nights I've been regretting

Now with you I always thought
We'd live behind a front door
Right now you don't think that
You can live anymore
And I'll call and call and call and call
And call and call and call
Anyone on the phone
So tonight I'm not alone

Let's go back to the beginning
Of the nights that I've been regretting
Let's go back to the beginning
Of the nights that I've been regretting

And you say baby you lied in your song
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drum

I met a boy who grew up in the mountains
He really loved God and got me thinking about things
Like appreciating everyone that I can call a friend
Seeing life as a group of tests to see through to the end
But I'm a quitter, I don't think he knew
That I'm still thinking about you
I'm a quitter and I'm ashamed
He said he'd come back for my brain

And you say baby you lied in your songs
It takes all my courage not to sing along
And now my beating heart belongs to my drum

I just wanted to see that new Tim Burton movie
Or hang around with Laura, Jane, and Suzie
And I definitely want to be a rapper
But I'm just a northern girl from where nothing really happens
And the bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
The bones inside my shins are crumbling
It's from all the crunking I've been doing
