May Lyrics by Ten Sleep

No Place Like House

2015

[Verse 1]
Two left feet and only one more step
Jumping streams and trying not to slip
It's in the air
You feel so overwhelmed and you just say
"I can't just jump in now"

[Verse 2]
Little suns scatter the empty creek
Free to leave to anywhere they please
But they don't go
They sit and stare with me as I stare back
I see the way they see

[Chorus]
Say what you want, humidity shows
Wrapping you up, down to your toes
It's what you want, you'll have to wait
You can't always go swimming in May

Spending your time counting away
The days seem to go
Slower this way
It's what you want, you'll have to wait
You can't always go swimming in May

[Verse 3]
It's in the way you stare at my blank face
And how you move, I can't react the same
You seem so cool
You hold your chin up high with no restrain
Your face is full of life

[Bridge]
You go out and I follow you in
There are days like this that stretch you thin
Without a doubt it's been like this before
And you just say "I think I like March more"

[Chorus]
Say what you want, humidity shows
Wrapping you up, down to your toes
It's what you want, you'll have to wait
You can't always go swimming in May

Spending your time counting away
The days seem to go
Slower this way
It's what you want, you'll have to wait
You can't always go swimming in May
