Empire Line lyrics

You’ve been sleeping for miles.

So what did you see?

Here the sky’s been falling white flowers,

and there’s ice in all the trees.

I’ve been tapping the table.

I’ve been hoping to drink.

There’s a line that goes all the way

from my childhood to you.

Can’t you find a way? Can’t you find a way?

You are in this too. Can’t you find a way?

I’ve been trying to see where we’re going,

but you’re so hard to follow.

And I don’t think we’re getting anywhere anytime soon.

We have so much to cover and I don’t know what I’m expecting.

You just keep saying so many things that I wish you don’t.

Can’t you find a way? Can’t you find a way?

You are in this too. Can’t you find a way?

I’ve been talking about you to myself

because there’s nobody else, and I want what I want.

And I want everything. I want everything.

I’ve been talking about you to myself

because there’s nobody else, and I want what I want.

And I want everything. I want everything.

Can’t you find a way? Can’t you find a way?

You are in this too. Can’t you find a way?
