The Walking (And Constantly) Lyrics

[Intro]
The
The

[Verse 1]
The walking and constantly
An endless stream of endless dreams
That wheel and roll just past my shoulder

[Verse 2]
The waiting and constantly
An endless shift of sifting through
The facts, the fey
You never know for sure

[Pre-Chorus]
I was sure until they asked me
Now I don't know
All I know is something touched me
Shadows lift my fingers
Don't let the cold...
Every now and then things become clear

[Chorus]
There's nothing that will bring you back
There's nothing that will change this fact
There's nothing that I will take back

I know I know
This is a fact
I'm pretty sure I know
I don't know I don't know I...
[Verse 3]
I tell everyone a different story
That way nothing's ever boring
Even when they turn and say you lied

[Verse 4]
Petals drifting past my shoulder
Or maybe snow - I'm cold I'm not sure
Someone yelled at me I don't know why

[Pre-Chorus]
If you want someone to love you
Just let me know
People pushing past me
If you want someone to love you
Then don't just go (Don't just go)
Every now and then things become clear

[Chorus]
That there's nothing that will bring you back
And there's nothing that will change this fact
There's nothing that I will take back
Your shoes you left your hat
It's on the bed or else the chair
I don't know I don't know I...
[Verse 5]
The walking and constantly
An endless stream of endless dreams
That wheel and roll just past my shoulder

[Outro]
That wheel and roll just past my shoulder
That wheel and roll just past my shoulder
That wheel and roll just past my shoulder
That wheel and roll just past my shoulder

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
