Olympic Girls - Tiny Ruins

Stirring, shaken, all of us waking

Under the same cover of sky

You said my freedom feels

Like a white lie

Sweet on the backseat

Another day bolder

A love spell rushes you by

The smoke and the smoulder

We were only inches away

Still had a long, long way to go

Yeah, we were only inches away

Still had a long, long way to go

Weren’t we born to break out?

To feel the muddy banks swell?

I think of you on the dance floor

In a stuccoed motel

Forecasting when and where we’d end up

Couldn’t save us anyhow

Just kid conversation

My star sign resolver

You only had your olympic girls

The frosted sheen of leotard twirls

Running revolt and winning gold for the TV screen

Before being led back to the cells

Lay your head in the lap of a girl

You’ll never learn something if it isn’t taught well

You’ll never find a thing if you can’t lose yourself

Every once in a while

I looked for your figure

The cut your shape would make

In the freedom of a microphone

There’s a shadow I can’t shake

Who’s there?

Who’s there in the morning?

To see you at the station

And when you feel like giving up

There, so you can hold her

We were only inches away

Still had a long, long way to go

We were only inches away

Still had a long, long way to go

We’re only inches away

Still have a long, long way to go
