Sleater-Kinney - Surface Envy lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Throw me a rope, get me aligned

I haven't seen daylight in what must be days

I took the long way down, was trackin' myself

Confidence fell down the steepest of slopes

If you get me a line, let me earn that

A line revolution, now I could do more!

I feel so much stronger now that you're here

We've got so much 2 do, let me make that clear

(Chorus)

We win, we lose

Only together do we break the rules!

We win, we lose

Only together do we make the rules!

(Verse 2)

I'm breakin' the surface, tastin' the air

Reachin' for things, yeah that I could neva before

The anchor is heavy, I can't hold the weight

The piloting gown won't let me be myself

If I could learn, if I could go up

We're goin' the fast lane, you're holdin' me back

I push twice as hard, so what do ya see?

& the past falls away 2 the bottom of the deep

(Chorus)

We win, we lose

Only together do we break the rules!

We win, we lose

Only together do we make the rules!

(Instrumental break)

(Chorus)

We win, we lose

Only together do we break the rules!

We win, we lose

Only together do we make the rules!

(Outro)

We live, say goodbye 2 yo ol' ways of life

I can breathe way up high, now it’s our turn 2 fly!
