Play Dumb Lyrics by ROAM

Smile Wide

2019

Going nowhere
I know ignorance is bliss
So just take your time I think you'll find
You don't swing, you can't miss

Going nowhere
I know ignorance is bliss
So just take your time I think you'll find
You don't swing, you can't miss
Am I alone here
Wanting more and getting less?
Yeah the view outside is deafening
And I've gone deaf

So go ahead and water me down
Go ahead and water me down

Would it be better if we all played dumb?
I think it's safe to say
When you're the shadow you've been running from
Nowhere is safe
All this time we're fading
Trying to find a way to get out
Would it be better if we all played dumb?

Would you walk on your knees
Just to know what I mean?
To be so incomplete everyday
Does it feel more obscene
To believe in a dream
Than to flow in a place in between?

So go ahead and water me down
Go ahead and water me down

Would it be better if we all played dumb?
I think it's safe to say
When you're the shadow you've been running from
Nowhere is safe
All this time we're fading
Trying to find a way to get out
Would it be better if we all played dumb?

Float away, float away
Float away, float away
Float away, float away
Float away, float away

Would it be better if we all played dumb?
I think it's safe to say
When you're the shadow you've been running from
Nowhere is safe
All this time we're fading
Trying to find a way to get out
Would it be better if we all played dumb?
