Eclipse You Songtext
von Sam Bowman

(Too much)

We′re on a wheel spinning in orbit
Looking for hope in
The motion we're lost in

We want a real grip on the cosmos
We′re sick of the symptoms
And stuck on the causes

So I'll try to explain it
Straining to rein in the stars
(Look how far away they are)
(Can I reach that far)

I can hold up the planets
But I'm spinning around and around and around and around
And around and around and around
Can You hold me down?


Because
I′m falling and I′m flying both at once
I'm locked
In a cosmic game of tug of war
Read between the lines
Reason with the sky
Till my hope is gone
And I wonder what I struggle for

I′ll try and convince You (how did I get here?)
I can do what I wish to (did You forget me?)
But the planets eclipse You
The planets eclipse You
(The planets eclipse You)

It was hard enough to graduate college
Now we're looking for jobs
And routines and apartments

And being twenty-something is hard when
You′re entangled in tensions
And questions and options

But I promise I'll make it
Straining to rein in the stars
(Am I doing this right)
(Get a handle on my life)

I′ll put Your thoughts in a box
Because I'm spinning around and around and around and around
And around and around and around
(Can You hold me down?)


Pushin pullin
Looking for a
Fulcrum I can
Fall or fly from
Diving finding
Spiral cycles
Buy the lie that
I'm a titan

Motion, tension
Four dimensions
Beg the question
Just a second
Overkill on
Undersun is
Gonna rip me
Limb from limb

Because
I′m falling and I′m flying both at once
I'm locked
In a cosmic game of tug of war
Read between the lines
Screaming to the sky
Till my hope is gone
And I wonder what I struggle for

I′ll try and convince You (how did I get here?)
I can do what I wish to (did You forget me?)
But the planets eclipse You
The planets eclipse You
(The planets eclipse You)

(Look up to the master motion of the first wheel
Let us be faithful and care for our own part
Which is to do and suffer for him
And lay Christ's part on himself and leave it there
Duties are ours, events are the Lord′s)
