The Writing's on the Wall Lyrics
OK Go
Listen I know it's been hard
You know it's no different for me
We're less than a zero-sum game now
And baby, we both know that's not how it's supposed to be
[Chorus]
The writing's on the wall
It seems like forever
Since we had a good day
The writing's on the wall
[Hook]
But I, just want to get you high tonight
I, just want to see some pleasure in your eyes
Some pleasure in your eyes
I go too high, and you go too cold
And we both fall apart
Then you bring your mind, to rest against mine
But the mind has no say on affairs of the heart
[Chorus]
[Hook]
Then you bring your mind, to rest against mine
But the mind has no say on affairs of the heart
[Chorus]
[Hook]
I, just want to get you high
Just want to get you high
Just want to get you high
Even if it's the last thing we do together
Even if it's the last thing we do together
You know it's no different for me
We're less than a zero-sum game now
And baby, we both know that's not how it's supposed to be
[Chorus]
The writing's on the wall
It seems like forever
Since we had a good day
The writing's on the wall
[Hook]
But I, just want to get you high tonight
I, just want to see some pleasure in your eyes
Some pleasure in your eyes
I go too high, and you go too cold
And we both fall apart
Then you bring your mind, to rest against mine
But the mind has no say on affairs of the heart
[Chorus]
[Hook]
Then you bring your mind, to rest against mine
But the mind has no say on affairs of the heart
[Chorus]
[Hook]
I, just want to get you high
Just want to get you high
Just want to get you high
Even if it's the last thing we do together
Even if it's the last thing we do together
