Secret Machines - 1000 Seconds lyrics

rate me

I must admit it's a balancing act<br />

It looks dangerous, that's part of it<br />

Remember, don't look down<br />

You and I standing in a crowded room<br />

We were pressed together but we're holding on<br />

Like we're all that was, that's all there was<br />

<br />

In a flash of light<br />

We were drunk, we were having a fight<br />

I was wrong, that don't mean you were right<br />

Then you played that song, it was a thousand seconds long<br />

It didn't end, it seemed to play on all night<br />

'Cause if I remember right I fell asleep there<br />

<br />

Rain clouds passed and darkened more<br />

An evening touched by waiting for the sky burst<br />

Storms had gathered in crushing lines<br />

I surrendered to a way that I remembered you<br />

That's all there was<br />

<br />

If I were forced to choose, what I have, I have to lose<br />

I need love, that don't mean I need you<br />

It started with that song, it was a thousand seconds long<br />

It didn't end 'cause we never got through<br />

<br />

And did you think that I had planned it all along<br />

Hoping not to be alone, well, I was there on the edge of the rush<br />

And did you leave because you thought that I would stay<br />

Stricken with a holy fright and it was clear as the night in the cold<br />

And I won't ever know what you're afraid of<br />

<br />

And when the world ends<br />

A thousand seconds too<br />

We'll watch the time pass<br />

Run through the high end too<br />

<br />

And then we'll wait there<br />

A thousand seconds too<br />

That's when it all ends<br />

A thousand seconds too
