lyrics

Look up
This is where the collector looks up
He has a funny feeling that he’s being watched
Behind the curtain but there’s no sound
Don’t give up
This running wasn’t meant to run out
Even when you haven’t had a thing to say
In almost ten years
You can’t slow down

Woke up in a bright white light
You’re at my side
And that man waiting at my door
He's been here before
Lay low, you’ll get what you came for
Lay low, you’ll take what you came for

To the end of the empty night
I’ll just get by
There’s a way to keep up with me
It’s easy
Lay low, you’ll get what you came for
Lay low, you’ll take what you came for

I never really had a chance to look up
Until I understood you feel that lost
You’re finding out how much nothing cost
Don’t pay up
Until you understand that if you look back
I’ll be running in the air
To find you out and show you how
You can’t back out

Woke up in a bright white light
You’re at my side
And that man waiting at my door
He's been here before
Lay low, you’ll get what you came for
Lay low, you’ll take what you came for

To the end of the empty night
I’ll just get by
There’s a way to keep up with me
It’s easy
Lay low, you’ll get what you came for
Lay low, you’ll take what you came for

There’s absolutely nothing in the world that you can trade
But still you know that these are the best days
You know these are the best days
You don’t got much in your pocket you could trade
But now you know
These are the best days
You know these are the best days

I don’t know shame
I can only see straight
By the time it’s tomorrow
I’ll wake right up in a bright white light
But I still got time
I still got time
In a bright white light
