SECONDS – ISABÈL USHER & ATTEK

[Intro: male voice]
Hey, I won’t be able to make it I got work to do baby
I got to finish up some stuff, you’ll be fine without me


[verse 1]
Empty bottles in the bathroom
Ever since last year your whole body’s been away
Hennessy & shampoo
Content of the liquor getting higher everyday

Poppin pills like eatin’ candy
Began to worry when you started seeing demons again
Instead of talking to the tv
You started having drinks with your imaginary friend


[pre-Chorus]
Birthdays, the worst days
Doing ninety-five miles on the highway
Kids party at the ice cream truck
You were sipping grey goose from a coffee cup

Close your eyes and go on holiday
Tanqueray washes the pain away
Reality why let it happen?
You can have a drink & float away in seconds

[Chorus]
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds


[verse 2]
In January when the heating went
You we’re struggling, too far gone to start it up again
Middle of winter with a house ice cold
Had a roof above my head but I was missing home

You took me shopping when I wanted to
Cause a friend of mine, told me it’s what fathers do
I begged you; will you let me try these
But in the end you placed the booze above my Nikes


[pre-Chorus]
Birthdays, the worst days
Doing ninety-five miles on the highway
Kids party at the ice cream truck
You were sipping grey goose from a coffee cup
Close your eyes and go on holiday
Tanqueray washes the pain away
Reality why let it happen?
You can have a drink & float away in seconds


[Chorus]
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds


[bridge]
Birthdays in the worst way
Looking at a man that I used to know
‘For he, decided to let it go
Now all I got left is the video

Today, Tuesday
All I really want is for you to say
That you want your little girl right next to you
And take her to the movies next Saturday


[Chorus]
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds
Float away in seconds
