The Flatliners – Sympathy Vote lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can you feel how fast my heart's beating?
I can't slow this thing down man
My mind it races but never wins, just like the lesser twin
My friends must all know by now
I'm spent like a bridesmaid alone in her skin
I know I'm not there in person
But I'm worth the long distance

[Chorus]
And for all we know
You were a landslide bringing victory home
But the story goes:
They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote

[Verse 2]
Can't we all be just a bit fleeting?
What you say, what you're believing in
Formulate a stance in your tiny little expert opinion
Then turn the page and wonder
When did we age so gracelessly?
Feel our fabric fade and pull apart thread by thread

[Chorus]
And for all we know
You were a landslide bringing victory home
But the story goes:
They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote

[Bridge]
Can you feel how fast my heart's beating?
I can't slow this thing down man
My mind it races

[Chorus]
And for all we know
You were a landslide bringing victory home
But the story goes:
They had their hands tied to the sympathy vote

[Outro]
My friends, they all know by now I'm spent
Like a bridesmaid alone in her skin
I know I'm not there in person
But I'm worth the long distance
Can you feel how fast my heart's beating?
I can't slow this thing down man
My mind it races but it never wins
