Lyrics
[Verse 1] Nine-oh-three... platform screen... Everybody runnin' in a fever dream... Got my boot-heel... catchin' on the tile... Tryna force a... hollow smile... They're all chasin' somethin' fast... Tryin' to make the moment last... but it's already past...
[Pre-Chorus] And the urge is risin' up in me... To join the race, to turn the key... But I... I... just gotta see...
[Chorus] THE DEEP BLUE SKY OF MIDDAY! (Ooooh, mid-day!) Just hangin' there... come what may... IT AIN'T IN A HURRY! It's the ocean spilled onto the screen... The slowest beauty I've ever seen... ...it takes time... to be clean.
[Bridge] The real reason... I'm so scared to wait... ...is what if I'm patient... and it still comes too late?
[Final Chorus] I SAID, THE DEEP BLUE SKY OF MIDDAY! (It's hangin' there!) JUST HANGIN' THERE, COME WHAT MAY! IT AIN'T IN A HURRY! (Why am I in a hurry?!) IT'S THE OCEAN SPILLED ONTO THE SCREEN! THE REALEST BEAUTY I'VE EVER SEEN! ...it takes TIIIIIIIME...
[Outro] (It takes time...) (Yeah, it takes time...) (To be clean...)
