I had the hardest time trying to come up with a proper title for this song, so I settled on the main non-lexible chorus vocal. It was the first song completed for the Festive Follies music project, so I decided to name the album after it. I was influenced significantly by Coldplay when writing this piece.
lyrics
I cannot keep up,
For you have taken up.
Well I'm trying endlessly around the town,
But you know I'm falling down,
But you know I'm falling.
Ha laa la la la ooh,
Ha laa la la la ooh,
Ha laa la la la ooh,
Ha laa la la la ooh.
How in an old rink,
You can still find new trails,
Well I'm sorry but I've got nowhere else to go;
I'm on you like hail.
Now I'm honest,
I want our eyes to meet one day.
Should I hurry up or should I stay?
(Standing on my back now!)
Oh! Should I hurry up or should I stay?
Oh ohhhh!
Standing on my back now!
Ha laa la la la ooh,
Ha laa la la la ooh,
(Standing on my back now!)
Ha laa la la la ooh,
Ha laa la la la ooh,
(Standing on my back now!)
Oooooh.
I've... I've never felt ice colder,
And I've never felt softer shoulders,
And I can't make myself believe,
But you make me feel like it's Christmas Eve.
Ha laa la la la ooh,
Ha laa la la la ooh,
(Standing on my back now!)
Ha laa la la la ooh,
Ha laa la la la ooh,
(Standing on my back now!)
