Middle Kids - Highlands Lyrics

 Middle Kids - Highlands Lyrics

Take a look around

The town you grew up in is tired and fading

Endlessly sighing

Your family is there expectantly waiting

Your mother complaining, your father is quiet

And on the way to the station

You pass by the houses, dark windows saying

There’s a reason you sneak out 

At night to be with all your friends in the open

Out in the open

Wherever you are, we’re just getting started

Out of the dark, into the highlands

Give me your heart, I wanna hide it

And I can’t keep waiting for things to change

Don’t care where you are, we’re just getting started

Out of the dark, into the highlands

Give me your heart, I wanna hide it

And I can’t keep waiting for things to change

Take a look around

What am I saying?

I don’t wanna stay here I kinda hate it

I don’t like the winter I just like the sound

Of the sticks always falling, breaking my heart

And by the way, the air is like ice

But I'm seeing it clearly in this new light

I don’t like running I just like the sound

Of the movement and footsteps hitting the ground

I can’t keep waiting, I can’t keep waiting, I can’t keep waiting, I can’t keep waiting, I can’t keep waiting, I can’t keep waiting, I need a change, I need a change and I need a change, I need a change and I need a change and I need a change, yeah, ooooh
