Glass Piano

H-h-how fast do you think you could run
If I gave you the day and the night
And an endless horizon?
How far do you think you could carry me?
Would you carry me?

What-what the hell are we doing?
You're winning, I'm losing, can't drop my thoughts
Shut in this box you've built up
And your smile as wide as the avenue
Bring me back to you, oh

Well, I've always been good at pretending
Wearing permanent rose-coloured lenses
'Cause I don't wanna see when the flags are red (ah)

Push and pull me, build then ruin me
How close is your past? 'Cause it consumes me
Bend and break, ignore then take, you
Play me like a hammer on a glass piano

How c-c-close to the edge can you get before drowning?
I'm smothered, induced
C-C-Covered in sounds
We're swimming our way through this melody unsteadily

Oh, but there's something between us
It's some kind of weakness
Like making two norths of two magnets agree
But we're pushing through, fasten too readily
Unsteadily, oh

Well, I've always been good at pretending
Wearing permanent rose-coloured lenses
'Cause I don't wanna see when the flags are red

Push and pull me, build then ruin me
How close is your past? 'Cause it consumes me
Bend and break, ignore then take, you
Play me like a hammer on a glass piano

Do you think you could run
If I gave you the day and the night
And an endless horizon?
How far do you think you could run
If I gave you the day and the night
And an endless horizon?

With your head in my lap
My legs made out of quartz
Float like a daydream, breathe in and breathe out
With your head in my lap
My legs made out of quartz
Float like a daydream, breathe in and breathe out

Push and pull me, build then ruin me
How close is your past? 'Cause it consumes me
Bend and break, ignore then take, you
Play me like a hammer on a glass piano

Do you think you could run
If I gave you the day and the night
And an endless horizon?
How far do you think you could run
If I gave you the day and the night
And an endless horizon?
How far do you think you could run?
If I gave you the day and the night
And an endless horizon
How long did you think you could play me
Like I was a hammer on your glass piano?
