Uncalm
311 · From Chaos
Listen to the drummer just listen to the strings
Listen to the DJ just rappin and things
Once I get a message from you I get all edgy
My minds racing but my you know not ready uh
For you, baby all our dreams trickle through
We are back in your teenage bedroom
Salvador Dali honeymoon, for you
It's like you and me on Plymouth Rock
Embarking on a journey
That I never thought would happen to me so effortlessly
Sparks flying, your laughter is a symphony
Spring, what a little moonlight can do
Soon the summer sun is on you
All the while we don't hear the news or feel blue
Chorus:
On the scales of desire your absence weighs more
Than someone else's presence
I wanna kiss reason goodbye today
I wanna show its purple essence
On your lips baby,
It'll fade away return your natural iridescence
On the scales of desire your absence weighs more
Than someone else's presence
You make me feel uncalm and I think I like it
Make me think of a song that I could not write
Your Melodies create themselves I'm just a conduit
You make my heart accelerate and I'm on to it
For you baby there's so much
That I will do to be near the sweetness on you
Funny everything seems so new when with you
(Chorus)
On the scales of desire your absence weighs more
than someone else's presence
Oh, uncalm, uncalm
