lyrics

I’ve always understood what it feels like to stand in your shoes
I gotta put both feet in one of them and then hop out and find someone new
And I’ve been very reasonable in my approximations of what you do
I gotta keep on pushing, keep on pushing, keep on pushing till I can push through you
Till I can push through you

You’re looming overhead when everything is underway
I gotta couple of favors to ask of you if you think you’ve got the time today

Something complete that I can tell you
Something concrete that I can spell out
Taste of defeat, that’s what’s in my generation
That occurs quite frequently in my workstation

I don’t think that’s incorrect
I don’t think that’s nothing
You could flip me on my head
We could start combusting

Still this darkness bristling behind the surface of something shy
I’m running through the jagged shapes of falling leaves that confuse the night
Will we have a chance to blend ourselves together before we die
I’m thinking I won’t die for a very long time

I’ve always empathized with everything that you’ve been through
I’ve always tried my best to synthesize solutions that could work for you
And I’ve been feeling nervous somehow hoping you’d feel nervous too
And still I keep on pushing keep on pushing keep on pushing till I misconstrue you
Till I misconstrue you

You’re playing with my head
While you let your body be a toy
Man, there’s a lot of things that I’d do to you
If you think that you could take it boyyy

Something so bad something so evil
Something that you might find agreeable
I’d stay and chat but I’ve got work in the morning
Organizing the people that I’m controlling

I don’t think it’s wrong of me
I don’t think it’s perfect
You could sweep me off my feet
I could be your subject

Still this electricity can hold me fast to the better times
I’m peering at the demon that’s always watching me from behind your eyes

Will we have a chance to take our shoes off before we go inside
I’m thinking there’s a very good chance we might

I’ve always understood
I’ve always understood you
I’ve always understood
I, I, I, I, I

Feelin some real appreciation for this album lately. Such a chill sound, so many catchy songs and, if the hours were tallied, findings would suggest that Digital Up Set has gotten me through literal days worth of work (to say nothing of how often it comes up in my downtime.) I'll probably spend the rest of my life chasing that bass line! DJGonzuc
