Maintain Lyrics by Steve Burns

Songs for Dustmites

2003

[Verse 1]
And I'm standing on the corner
Gonna jump out of my skin
Gonna float above the buildings
See which one you're in

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We can finally stop the traffic
We can finally stop the trains
We can act like we're above it
'Til it starts to feel the same

[Chorus 1]
Whatever you do
Whatever you do

[Verse 2]
And it's screaming from the pay phones
And it's dripping from the trees
And it's moving through the pavement
Underneath your feet

[Pre-Chorus 2]
See them diving from the bridge
In the city down below
Turn it all into a hard drive
And plug me in
I don't wanna know

[Chorus 2]
Whatever you do
Maintain
Maintain

[Bridge]
It could never be this easy
If she ever leaves me
I'll hit the ground
And it's so much
Nicer
Up here...

[Outro]
We've got to maintain
We've got to maintain
We've got to maintain
We've got to maintain
