SPEAK - Peaks lyrics

rate me

That's as high as it goes

That's as loud as it gets

Take a minute to breathe

Smoke your first cigarette

Scream as loud as you want

Scream as loud as you need

That's what the 90s were for

May they never recede

You could take me with you,

I could take you with me

Though we're better off here

I mean ultimately

We don’t need cheering up

We don’t need any more

We don’t need what we want

That’s what the 80s were for.

If you think you’re alive

If you think you’re a man

You were already dead right before it began

Searching for rock in a pile of sand

All the kind that you want till it’s all in your hands

I know, I know it's not the easiest thing

To decide to let the easy things go

Cause it's hard enough without

Another sign that you've slowed down.

Chorus:

An emotion is a terrible thing,

But emotion is a terrible thing to waste.

I've been over it again and again,

And the only thing I'm over’s the time it takes.

An emotion is a hell of a thing

Knowing emotion is a hell of a thing to face

You can do it with your back on the wall,

But the oldest ones are always the backs that break.

And if you fight with fire, if you wrestle to sleep

May the wrestling end, now you find what you need

And you fill it with lead, and it fills you with ink

Always less than you want, always more than you think.

You know, you know it's not the easiest thing

To decide to keep the easy things close

Cause it's hard enough without

An open mind to weigh you down.

Chorus:

An emotion is a terrible thing,

But emotion is a terrible thing to waste.

I've been over it again and again,

And the only thing I'm over’s the time it takes.

An emotion is a hell of a thing

Knowing emotion is a hell of a thing to face

You can do it with your back on the wall,

But the oldest ones are always the backs that break.

And emotion is a terrible thing

Any motion is a terrible thing

And emotion is a terrible thing
