Balancing the Backlight Lyrics by Paper Pilots

Paper Pilots EP

2013

Where I stand
So completely real but it's all pretend to me
Cause everything I've ever known is out of time
Here I am
I can comprehend it but it makes no sense to me
Everything I've ever known is out of time
[Chorus]
I tell you that I want to go home
But I'm just fine
Balancing the backlight, honey
With the long night waiting for me
I'm fine
Just the light of the (love?)
Tell you that I want to go home
It's just a light
Balancing the backlight, honey
With the long night waiting to see
If you find me
[Verse 2]
And there you were
It's only bred in circuses and what's the purpose please
Everything I'm looking for ain't hard to find
Heaven help
Person having trouble trying to be themselves these days
Everything I'm looking for ain't hard to find
[Chorus]
I tell you that I want to go home
But I'm just fine
Balancing the backlight, honey
With the long night waiting for me
I'm fine
Just the light of the (love?)
Tell you that I want to go home
It's just a light
Balancing the backlight, honey
With the long night waiting to see
If you find me
[Bridge]
If you find me
If you find me
If you find me
Heaven help
Person having trouble trying to be themselves these days
Everything I'm looking for ain't hard to find
[Chorus]
I tell you that I want to go home
But I'm just fine
Balancing the backlight, honey
With the long night waiting for me
I'm fine
Just the light of the (love?)
Tell you that I want to go home
It's just a light
Balancing the backlight, honey
With the long night waiting to see
If you find me
Waiting to see if you find me
Waiting to see if you find me
