Get Along
Slow Hollows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Driving right to your front door
Pick a fight with myself on the way
I′m sure you can tell that I'd beat him to hell
Upset under lamp lit drones
Humming songs like I hope I′m still home
If I'm not I'm out just circling thoughts
Thinking how far away can we be ′til it stops
Get along
Get along
Get along
Hate is just my lack of even trying
Get along
Get along
I get along with you fine so stop your crying
I lost a bit to turn against
And found some more movie scripts
Feel it all around this time
Thought that you had set your mind
Illustrate your thoughtful ways
I draw you as a peaceful day
But I′m intensely occupied
I wonder if I look kinda tired
Get along
Get along
Get along
Hate is just my lack of even trying
Get along
Get along
I get along with you fine so stop your crying
Oh my god
Never really thought of all the things that I could say
Make it better off today
Oh my god
Nothing ever really changes but that's all okay
Maybe we can feel the same
Get along
Get along
Get along
Hate is just my lack of even trying
Get along
Get along
I get along with you fine so stop your crying
Get along
I get along
I get along with you fine so stop your crying

I am distressed while surrounded by the sounds of buzzing drones and the hum of streetlights

I am humming and wishing that I am still at home
If I’m not I’m out just circling thoughts
If I am not home, then I am just driving around with my thoughts

Wondering how far I need to travel before my thoughts stop

@spacadet.
this was the song
the one i would die to every winter night
i dont know why it came to mind again, tonight, when the bed is finally as warm and full as my heart
but it did
sometimes i try hard to forget, but
is it really all that bad to remember, to see how we've grown ?
still as chilling as the first time.
