Everest - I've Had This Feeling Before lyrics

From the depth of the pacific To the height of Everest And still the world is smoother Than a shiny ball-bearing So, I take a few steps back And put on a wider lens And it changes your skin Your s**, and what your wearing Distance shows your silloutte To be a lot like mine Like a sphere is a sphere And all of us here have been here all the time You brought me to church Cinder blocks, fluorescent light You brought me to church At 7o'clock on a Sunday night And the band was rocking And the floors were scrubbed clean And everybody had a tambourine So, I took a deep breath and became The white girl with the hair And you sat right beside me While everybody stared And through the open window I think the singing went outside And floated up to tell All the stars not to hide 'Cuz by the time church let out The sky was much clearer And the moon was so beautiful That the ocean held up a mirror As we walked home we spoke slowly We spoke slow, and we spoke lowly Like it was taking more time Than usual to choose the words to go With your squeaky sandal shoes Like time is not a thing that's ours to lose From the height of the pacific To the depths of Everest
