Only Human Lyrics by Ukweli

2021

[Verse 1]
Been on autopilot months on end, I never
Wanna see myself go back ever again
I could stress myself about these things forever
But I'd rather stay right here with you, and then
Try to wake the voice I lost in the beginning
Black and white, the only colors in this space
I can't help but feel the faded colors dimming
And there's nothing in their place so can we
[Pre-Chorus]
Check up on the list of things we wanna do
It's all an empty slate, let's make some plans for two
We're dying to escape this and you know it's true
And I can only wish it lasts forever
[Chorus]
We'll get away from here, and
We're diving in the deep end
You know we're only human
Because we're only human
We'll get away from here and
We're diving in the deep end
You know we're only human
Because we're only human
[Verse 2]
I can't keep this up and I know I've stopped trying
I'll do my best, but always end in second place
It's been long, and I miss feeling like I'm flying
Now it feels like something else I'll have to chase
Miss the way that inspiration tastes like lightning
And it hurts to know my skull's my only cage
How we go from here's a dream, it's all exciting
And there's lots that we could do, oh, we could
[Pre-Chorus]
Check up on the list of things we wanna do
It's all an empty slate, let's make some plans for two
We're dying to escape this and you know it's true
And I can only wish it lasts forever
[Chorus]
Escape, let's leave, out of sight
We'll get away from here, and
Vanish, morning to night
We're diving in the deep end
Stay here, dance for tonight
You know we're only human
Promise, we'll be alright
Because we're only human
Escape, let's leave, out of sight
We'll get away from here, and
Vanish, morning to night
We're diving in the deep end
Stay here, dance for tonight
You know we're only human
Promise, we'll be alright
Because we're only human
