John Grant - Down Here

You do this, and you'll get that
I want what I was promised, I'm a bit impatient
And what is it exactly that you think that you deserve
No more, no less, is that ridiculous

Cause what we got down here is oceans of longing
And guessing games, and no guarantees
And you work so hard to be in control
And now you're laughing at yourself but you can't let go

Cause all we're doing is learning how to die
Do you really think that nobody sees the fear behind your smile?
And why do you care what anybody thinks at all
It's all going to the same thing in the end

And what we got down here is oceans of longing
And guessing games, and no guarantees
And you work so hard to be in control
And now you're laughing at yourself because you can't let go

And what we got down here is oceans of longing
And guessing games, and no guarantees
And you work so hard to be in control
And now you're laughing at yourself because you can't let go
