Dessa
Life on Land
[Verse 1]
Flip a coin, flip a car
I don’t care where we are
The picture and the sound won’t sync
And some things time can’t fix
I’m built for nights like this
Don’t mean I’m proud of it

[Verse 2]
And the rose in my teeth
Was a pin, so it seems
You pull it and brace to blast
Get ready for the bang and flash
Alright, just one last dance
Make it fast

[Chorus]
I know how the tide pulls deep
Eyes open but the mind’s asleep
Flash frozen in the driver’s seat
Lights and motion but they’re lost on me

[Verse 3]
There’s a dozen selves inside you
Tryna be the one to run thе dials
And some aren’t evеn on your side
When the hunger comes and finds you
Only code it knows is rote survival
You’ll do the rest in your spare time
[Verse 4]
Tryna get that universal feeling
In an invite-only private room
(Guess the ring came off in the glove)
Looks like you pawned the silver lining
Around the cloud that follows you
(Guess that good old push came to shove)

[Chorus]
I know how the tide pulls deep
Eyes open but the mind’s asleep
Flash frozen in the driver’s seat
Lights and motion but they’re lost on me

[Post-Chorus]
Out in the water
You can’t touch bottom
It pulls you farther
Life on land forgotten

[Bridge]
(The world turns over, I’m pulled under
Stone cold sober but I feel nothing)
The world turns over, I’m pulled under
Stone cold sober but I feel nothing
[Interlude]
I’m just a girl
In the body of a boy
In the belly of a whale
You can’t be sure
This far from shore
Which winds prevail

[Chorus]
I know how the tide pulls deep
Eyes open but the mind’s asleep
Flash frozen in the driver’s seat
Lights and motion but they’re lost on me

[Post-Chorus]
Out in the water
You can’t touch bottom
It pulls you farther
Life on land forgotten

[Interlude]
(I'm just a girl in the body of a boy)
It pulls you farther
(In the belly of the whale)
(The world turns over, it pulls me under)
(You can't be sure this far from shore)
Life on land forgotten
(Which winds prevail)
[Outro]
Flip a coin, flip a car
I don’t care where we are
