Animals Lyrics by Travis

Everything at Once

2016

[Verse 1]
I was sure I was right
I was king for a day every night
I was wrong, I was wrong
And I knew where to go
Every step was a step up the road
I was on, I was on
As I reach for the sky
It was clear I couldn't fly
'Cause I'm not that animal

[Chorus]
All the animals are running after me
It's all that I can do to stay on two feet
All the animals are running to the sea
And I give it away, every night, every day
Every word that I say, I'm an animal

[Verse 2]
So I land on a stage
And I find that I'm slipping away
Let it roll, let it roll
And the heart plays a game
Trying to fool the reptilian brain
In control, in control
Where I fly or I fight
Wanna look into your eyes
There's nothing but animal there

[Chorus]
All the animals are running after me
It's all that I can do to stay on two feet
All the animals are running to the sea
And I give it away, every night, every day
Every word that I say, I'm an animal

[Bridge]
So let your walls come crashing down
Let your dress fall to the ground
Let me see your smile
Let the call of the wild
Be your words for awhile
Be a song for awhile

[Chorus]
All the animals are running after me
It's all that I can do to stay on two feet
All the animals are running to the sea
And I give it away, every night, every day
Every word that I say, I'm an animal

{Outro}
I'm an animal
