Tiny Ruins Olympic Girls Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stirring, shaken, all of us waking
Under the same cover of sky
You said my freedom feels
Like a white lie

[Verse 2]
Sweet on the backseat
Another day bolder
A love spell rushes you by
The smoke and the smoulder

[Chorus]
We were only inches away
Still had a long, long way to go
Yeah, we were only inches away
Still had a long, long way to go

[Verse 3]
Weren't we born to break out
To feel the muddy banks swell?
I think of you on the dance floor
In a stuccoed motel
Forecasting when and where we'd end up
Couldn't save us anyhow
Just kid conversation
My star sign resolver

[Verse 4]
You only had your olympic girls
The frosted sheen of leotard twirls
Running revolt and winning gold
For the TV screen
Before being led back to the cells

[Verse 5]
Lay your head in the lap of a girl
You'll never learn something
 if it isn't taught well
You'll never find a thing if you can't lose yourself
Every once in a while

[Verse 6]
I looked for your figure
The cut your shape would make
In the freedom of a microphone
There's a shadow I can't shake
Who's there?

[Verse 7]
Who's there in the morning?
To see you at the station
And when you feel like giving up
There, so you can hold her

[Chorus]
We were only inches away
Still had a long, long way to go
We were only inches away
Still had a long, long way to go
We're only inches away
Still have a long, long way to go
