DIIV Lyrics
Never had you run so far but you really gotta get away
You know it in the nighttime running to it
Caught a rising star but then you let it drop into
The ocean now the water's running through it
Now you've gone so far you really had to get away you
Knew it in your lifetime running to it
Acting like you've come so far the bed you made yourself
And this house and me are all falling apart
Never thought you'd go so far but now you're really
Gone and it's been so long I never really think about it
Yeah you made a beating heart whatever now that amber
Light has faded and it's yours to commit it
Act like it stops and starts a gesture here and there
For me is one thing but I felt it every time you blew it
Now you've gone too far your urge to run away is back and we all knew

Clue Vios
Never had you run so far
but you really gotta get away
you know it in the nighttime
running to it.
Caught a rising star
but then you let it drop into the ocean
now the water's running through it.
Now you've gone so far
you really had to get away
you knew it in your lifetime
running to it.
Acting like you've come so far
the bed you made yourself and this house and me
are all falling apart.
Never thought you'd go so far
but you're really gone and it's been so long
I never really think about it.
You made a beating heart
Whatever, now that amber light has faded
and it's yours to commit to it.
Act like it stops and starts
a gesture here and there
for me is one thing
but I felt it every time you blew it
Now you've gone too far
your urge to runaway is back
and we all know.

This song is so amazing it literally fits anything, going for a run, a long drive, a party, doing your makeup (like I am rn), etc. 👌👌

This is such a ripoff of DIIV, and it also sounds like that one band DIIV. I also hear a little bit of DIIV in there too.
Thomas Rainbow
