Foster the People Songs by First Lyrics

Just close your eyes, we're gonna run this blind / we live our lives, yeah, we're not wasting time

Yeah, it's over, it's over, I'm circling these vultures / got me praying, man, this hunger, and feeling something rotten / last time I saw you, said "What's up?" and pushed right through / then I tried to catch you but we're always on the move

What you need? What you need? / what you need, man? What you need? / what you need? yeah, what'd you see? / what'd you see? Yeah, oh yeah

Face me and embrace the pressure / we were made for another time / (when you need me, I'll be there) / (say my name, yeah, I'm right here)

A circuit likening, you glisten in bed / the static shifts, static shift of leather

I woke up on Champs-Élysées to the Djembe of Ghana, a fine lady from Belize said "You got the spirit of a Fela"

Well, I've been trying to re-learn my name / it seems like a thousand years that I've been out of frame

I can't blame you, and I can't save you / but I will try for you and I, for you and I

Walk, little walk, small talk, big thoughts, gonna tell 'em all just what I want

Well, let's take off from the start / I know you've tried all this before / and did your best to fight the war and break it off

Robert's got a quick hand, he'll look around the room, he won't tell you his plan / he's got a rolled cigarette hanging out his mouth, he's a cowboy kid

Faded and worn at the seams / a psychotropic wanderlust; sick and laughing / their words bared their teeth into the wall, I promised I would rid the world of feral animals

You are a secret that's worth keeping, and now I'm keeping my mouth shut

All my friends are, they're on vacation, but I'm just stuck here in this parking lot / well, looking for a mirror, I'm looking at a screen, these pixelated dreams are blowing up my pocket

If age is a trap I wonder why I hold back (Mistakes) a mistake to make me laugh, only time can answer that

Parading to the masses, we're coming so fresh to death / I've been stealing looks from shadows, you conjure with your purse / yeah, you're walking in stilettos but your nose is bleeding out / I've been running from the devil but the devil's on my back

I can never be like you, I don't ever talk like that, you smile with a sparkler drink and stumble in your lipstick mess / well, Hollywood philosophies, yeah, it's a tragedy but you keep hanging on with a vacant look, just waiting around for someone to take you home

Well, I've tried to live like the way that you wanted me to, never needed the proof, just followed the rules

Sometimes life it takes you by the hair, pulls you down, before you know it, it's gone and you're dead again

Call it what you want, eh, eh, eh / call it what you want, eh, eh, eh / I said, just call it what you want, eh, eh, eh / call it what you want

Rise above, gonna start the war, oh, what you want? What you need? What'd you come here for? / well, an eye for an eye and an 'F' for fight, they're taking me down as the prisoners riot

I'll hold your hand when you are feeling mad at me, yeah, when the monsters, they won't go, and your windows don't close I'll pretend to see what you see

Well, I've been judged, I've been a bug unknown, I know all about it, but my heart is strong / I've been away, been running to save my head, yeah, the warrant's out and I'm almost dead

Yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling / yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling / yet again, I'm hustling, hustling, hustling / but I can't seem to catch a dime, take a little hit and I lose the time

I had been hopeful that I would have the time to get closer to you, if you wanted me to

It's hard to look into your eyes knowing it might be the last time / the spaces in between our breaths, they're singing to the infinite

Days, they can feel so long, I've been hangin' on to a sad love song / nights never came to dawn, they went on and on when you pulled me out

I can see every color in you / I can feel every color in me / I can see every color in you / and I can feel every color in me / I can see

Never went to college, leave your comments in the message box, he walks like Elvis Presley 'cause his Bentley costs a million bucks

We're born to die so I'm gonna fight for how I wanna live, spark up the riots, I guess I'm a criminal and a futurist

I've broken every law, all the words come out my broken jaw / I don't know anything but then I act like I know everything

Today I walked through the door and fell down on my floor, got all of my papers out and read them / seems that I've been wanderin' for a little too long, yeah, the desert can be hot if you're wasted

Doctor Afro Mal-Funkenstein

Well, I see you standing there like a rabid dog and you got those crying eyes, makes me wanna surrender and wrap you in my arms

(When your best friend's all strung out) you do everything you can 'cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down / (When you find it all around) yeah, it comes in waves, but it's hardest from the start

Under the moon, I cry, waiting in the whisper of your name, my lullaby

I wouldn't try to throw myself away, if you asked me, I'd say / to be careful, my love
at death we'll leave the same, if you want me to stay don't keep me waiting for it

All my worst nights are the best times, West Coast stealin' all my shut-eye / all my worst nights are the good kind, high life filtered through the lo-fi

Under the bad, bad moon tonight, or baby, is it just me? Or is it something in the air we breathe? 'cause I'm feeling dizzy, dizzy, ah

Maybe it's nice to be alone in the end, you know I'm fine living so close to the edge, who needs a house when I've got all these friends? They say, "are you gonna give up some day? are you gonna grow up some day?"

Wouldn't it be nice if we just laid in bed all day in our desires? / the world can make its pretty noise while you and me can play in here together
