Lyrics The Giving In - The Velvet Teen

The Giving In

moving on
getting ready
for the role of
slow and steady
no rabbit, all turtle
letting go of what’s behind me
making room for the new, finally
aware and in control
all in all
i find it fitting
to realize you were just visiting
some time we bought, but were returning
like a shoplifter, rehearsing
so it goes, the giving in
running away yet again
know where i want to go?
i always thought
you were behind me
reaching out and waving blindly
no idea at all
i knew it when i saw you
remember the first time
i’d played the fool to follow you
you were always on my mind
don’t have the words to say it
i don’t know where to start
you’d take my breath away but
no one can take my heart
all in all
i find it fitting
two real eyes you were just visiting
some time we bought, but were returning
windowshopfliter
i knew it when i saw you
remember the first time
i’d played the fool to follow you
you were always on my mind
don’t have the words to say it
i don’t know where to start
you’d take my breath away but
no one can take my heart
