Terrified Lyrics by Guster

Look Alive

2019

[Verse 1: Ryan Miller]
Jenny you whispered, “What does it all mean?
Sometimes I feel like a cog in the machine”

But not forever
Nothing is forever
Soon we’ll all be gobbled by the stars stars stars stars stars stars stars stars

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe we’re all criminals and this is just the scene of the crime
Holy matrimony, make some money and wind down till we die
We circle chairs until the music stops
Until it ends you got to

[Chorus: Ryan Miller]
Open up your heart
Everybody’s got it hard
We’re built and then fall apart
We’re all terrified

[Verse 2: Ryan Miller/Miller & Adam Gardner]
Jenny you whispered, “I see you what you mean”
A broken bottle in a washing machine
But not forever
Who says forever
Soon we’ll all be gobbled by the stars stars stars stars stars stars stars stars

[Pre-Chorus: Ryan Miller & Adam Gardner, Ryan Miller]
Maybe we’re all criminals and this is just the scene of the crime
Holy matrimony, make some babies and lay down till we die
We circle chairs until the music stops
Until it ends you got to

[Chorus]
Open up your heart
Everybody's got it hard
We're built and then fall apart
We're all terrified

[Bridge: Ryan Miller]
We circle chairs until the music stops
We circle chairs until the music stops
We circle chairs until it stops

[Chorus: Ryan Miller, Adam Gardner & Luke Reynolds, Ryan Miller]
Open up your heart
Everybody's got it hard
We're built and then fall apart
We're all terrified

[Outro]
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
We're all terrified
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
Open up your heart
