Hippo Campus
Everything At Once
[Verse 1: Jake]
Pressure makes diamonds
You'd draw blood for half the price
I grew up on what Jesus saves
Work hard and it falls in place
Punch that clock till you hit the grave
[Pre-Chorus: Jake]
Man, it's bruised knuckles, baby, it's been draining your life
They made out like a bandit, while you're just getting by
I didn't say it'd be easy, well, just give it a try
You gotta lay down sometimes, be patient sometimes
[Chorus: Jake]
Feel everything at once, yeah, yeah
Feel everything at once, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Jake]
Ripping up sunflowers in the gardеn
Making room for plants that don't need water
Playing God again, why couldn't I save a dear friеnd
From going out in a hurricane of lightning?
[Pre-Chorus: Jake]
Here it goes again
Bruised knuckles, baby, it's been draining your life
They made out like a bandit, while you're just getting by
I didn't say it'd be easy, well, just give it a try
You gotta lay down sometimes, be patient sometimes
[Chorus: Jake]
Feel everything at once, yeah, yeah
Feel everything at once, yeah, yeah
Feel everything at once, yeah
[Bridge: Jake]
No matter how much gas you pump out
Can't feed all these machines
You put in, put in, put in, put in, but it never comes back for free
But it's making no sense with karma creeping
Bad things come in threes
And it weighs on me like a tragedy, but I know there's something there
[Pre-Chorus: Jake]
Always bruised knuckles, baby, it's been wasting your time
They made out like a bandit, while you're just getting by
I didn't say it'd be easy, well, just give it a try
You gotta lay down sometimes, be patient sometimes
[Chorus]
Feel everything at once, yeah, yeah
Feel everything at once, yeah, yeah
Feel everything at once (Lighting up a pipe dream)
Feel everything at once (New year's pixie dust got even)
Feel everything at once (Chasing a white lighter fiend)
Feel everything at once (Flame-throwing an angel's wings again)
At once, at once (Again, again, again, again)
