Motion Sickness Songtext

von Hands Like Houses

How could I miss you,
If I never met you?
If that road turns another way,
And never looked back?

There's a feeling overwhelming
Like I couldn't belong
Without this point of contact
Everything would be wrong
Stop-motion on the ceiling, skip frames
And I'm forgetting the in-between

When the world is spinning and I am standing still
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still...
You flicker.

If I never knew what I've lost
(You flicker)
And I turn around, and you're gone
(You flicker)

A moment lost is not so easily found,
If our grounds turned another way,
And never looked back

There's a feeling overwhelming
This is where I belong
This melody inseparable
From singing this song
I'm floating on the ceiling
Skip beats and I'm forgetting the in-between

When the world is spinning and I am standing still
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still...
You flicker.

If I never knew what I've lost
(You flicker)
And I turn around, and you're gone
(You flicker)

If you turn left and I turn right,
Would the curves of the Earth,
Bring our paths back to cross again?

Would I trust fate,
To bring back the tide?
Or would I dive head first,
To feel you on my skin?

(You flicker)

If I never knew what I've lost
(You flicker)
And I turn around, and you're gone
(You flicker)

When the world is spinning and I am standing still
(You flicker)
When the world comes apart and I'm standing still
(You flicker)
