MIA KELLY

Lyrics

Caught me by surprise
Going through the motions
Out the corner of my eye
Begging for attention

Just like
Like a horse running wild
Like the song of a child
Like a fever in the night
Like a match burns
Only for a moment
Gone before you know it
If you catch it by the tail
Holy grail

I’m right outside the door
Looking for the right words
To follow those that came before
Best ones always come first
They’re like
What makes the grass grow tall
Makes the loon sing
Makes the lover fall
Makes the bells ring
Makes the plums so sweet
Makes the man laugh
Makes the old heart beat
So fast

And if I dress up nice
Maybe they’ll come crashing
Keep me late into the night
In their frustrating fashion
Just like
Like pulling ribbons from my mouth
How the birds know to go south
Like a rabbit from a hat
I can’t explain that

I get to stand under the lights
I get to sing to you tonight
I get to try, I get to fail
