Collapsible Lung Lyrics by Relient K

All Work & No Playlist

2013

[Chorus]
Between the miles of open road
I lost sight of what might matter the most
I stumbled into the great unknown and found
That time won't slow down

[Verse 1]
I'm getting by with my collapsible lung
And it's a good time one hundred percent of the time and I'm
Like a ladder with a missin' rung
And it's a slow climb headed back to the sky and
I'm feelin' backwards when I'm tryin' the most
And I hope I haven't heard the last words from the Holy Ghost
'Cause I think that I'm supposed to be
Well on my way by now

[Verse 2]
I'll do the twist with my replaceable hips
And turn you right 'round
Then dip you down to the ground
And now I wanna grow old and rub your tired limbs
And take it easy
Until we wither away
Until we wither away

[Chorus]
Between the miles of open road
I lost sight of what might matter the most
I stumbled into the great unknown and found
That time can't slow down
To take a breath and then take it in
To think of places I'll go I haven't been
To pour my heart into everythin' I found
Time won't slow down

[Bridge]
I'm feelin' backwards
And I hope haven't heard the last words no, no, no
'Cause I think that I'm supposed to be
Well on my way-ey-ay (Ay-ay, woo)
To pour my heart into everythin' I found

[Chorus]
Between the miles of open road
I lost sight of what might matter the most
I stumbled into the great unknown and found
That time won't slow down

[Outro]
To take a breath and then take it in
To think of places I'll go I haven't been
