Foster The People – SHC lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Omnipotent, omnipotent)
You are our secret
It's worth keeping
And now I'm keeping my mouth shut
On the weekends
I won't hang out with anybody else
The pavement
Always baking
What's it want from me?
And I keep falling backwards
Looking for relief
Want to be free
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I've been counting all the minutes
And the days have been counting me
[Chorus]
I want to live my life again
But you won't
I'll never understand the winds
But you do
I didn't know I was afraid
But you did
I want to do it again
[Verse 2]
Well I've been sleeping
Waiting for something
But to feel nothing
At all, avoid the call
Sometimes I'm reckless
Sometimes misdirected
Sometimes when I'm tested
I tend to do nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When I'm alone
There's a ghost that keeps talking
And I know there's gotta be more
For sure
[Chorus]
I want to live my life again
But you won't
I'll never understand the winds
But you do
I didn't know I was afraid
But you did
I want to do it again
[Bridge]
Omnipotent (omnipotent)
I've been numbing my thoughts for hours
Well I know you wanted to save me from myself
We've been wilting our young for seed
And I can't compete
We're too strong to feel what's real
[Chorus]
I want to live my life again
But you won't
I'll never understand the winds
But you do
I didn't know I was afraid
But you did
I want to do it again
[Outro]
(Omnipotent)
Do you want to live forever?
Do you want to live forever?
I would
(Omnipotent, omnipotent)
You are our secret
It's worth keeping
And now I'm keeping my mouth shut
On the weekends
I won't hang out with anybody else
The pavement
Always baking
What's it want from me?
And I keep falling backwards
Looking for relief
Want to be free
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I've been counting all the minutes
And the days have been counting me
[Chorus]
I want to live my life again
But you won't
I'll never understand the winds
But you do
I didn't know I was afraid
But you did
I want to do it again
[Verse 2]
Well I've been sleeping
Waiting for something
But to feel nothing
At all, avoid the call
Sometimes I'm reckless
Sometimes misdirected
Sometimes when I'm tested
I tend to do nothing at all
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When I'm alone
There's a ghost that keeps talking
And I know there's gotta be more
For sure
[Chorus]
I want to live my life again
But you won't
I'll never understand the winds
But you do
I didn't know I was afraid
But you did
I want to do it again
[Bridge]
Omnipotent (omnipotent)

I want to live my life again
But you won't
I'll never understand the winds
But you do
I didn't know I was afraid
But you did
I want to do it again
[Outro]
(Omnipotent)
Do you want to live forever?
Do you want to live forever?
I would
