Yesterday Threw Everything at Me Lyrics

Athlete

Switch on the light,between each other
Elevated to your side, Now i'm nervous
It's time to tell you honestly, so we can alter history

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone i know
You are, first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is

Plastic flowers that fight for colour
Shadows floating on the ground, that always follow
Like international acclam, it comes and goes never the same

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone i know
You are, first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is

And i will run with you
And sunlight will break into my eyes
And it seems you plugged in the world in
'cause sunlight is streaming from your eyes

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone i know
You are, first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is

Let's take our time, it won't change over night
we got a chance we didn't have before
Let's take our time, it won't change over night
we got a chance we didn't have before

You are, first on my list,
When everything around is gone i know
You are, first on my list
When everything is shown up for what it is
