Lily Moore - Houdini (Demo) Lyrics

Swear you got heart in handcuffs
Like you got my love in a headlock
I'm underwater, held down by ten tonnes
I'm running out of oxygen

We used to stay up, talk all night
Now, we're a silent movie, black and white

We were cool like a lifetime ago
We were tied to each other
And we got tangled in the ropes
Me or you will be the first to let go
Made me fall for all your magic
Turns out it was just a miracle and a smoke machine

The boy that I always dreamed of
Hiding out at the back of the school bus
Spinning wheel while throwing knives at me
High on the trapeze, no safety net underneath

We used to wait up, watch sunrise
Now, we're a silent movie, black and white

We were cool like a lifetime ago (A lifetime ago)
We were tied to each other
And we got tangled in the ropes
Me or you will be the first to let go (First to let go)
Someday soon, I'm gonna catch my breath back
But now we're nothing more than a circus act

There was a time when we were golden
There was a place where we weren't broken
Oh

We were cool like a lifetime ago (A lifetime ago)
We were tied to each other
And we got tangled in the ropes
Me or you, oh, will be the first to let go (First to let go)
Made me fall for all your magic, yeah
Made me fall for all your magic
Turns out it was just a miracle and a smoke machine
