Testo Shivers

Testo Shivers

I know exactly how the sun comes through that window
Turn off the lights, I know my way 'round with my eyes closed

Did I make it up
Everything I trusted?
Cause now it's burning from the edges
Here the fire comes
Making ash and dust out of
Everything that made sense

Warm nights turn to winter
(Stayed too long in endless summer)
Put my own arm 'round my shoulder
(July fireworks for lovers)
Used to wake to someone else's sunrise
(Suddenly I see it's not mine)
I know I'm alive when I feel the
Shivers
Shivers
Shivers

Here there's no sun, no windows
I'm walking alone
Open my eyes it's time to see my ghosts up close

Did I make it up
Everything I trusted?
Cause now it's burning from the edges
Here the fire comes
Making ash and dust out of
Everything that made sense

Warm nights turn to winter
(Stayed too long in endless summer)
Put my own arm 'round my shoulder
(July fireworks for lovers)
Used to wake to someone else's sunrise
(Suddenly I see it's not mine)
I know I'm alive when I feel the
Shivers
Shivers
Shivers

Flint to steel
I strike my own light
Even if it's not quite as bright
I'll still be cold tonight
But I know I'm alive
When I feel the shivers

Warm nights turn to winter
(Stayed too long in endless summer)
Put my own arm 'round my shoulder
(July fireworks for lovers)
Used to wake to someone else's sunrise
(Suddenly I see it's not mine)
I know I'm alive when I feel the shivers
