Through the Motions - Hannah Nicolaisen

Have you ever been to no mans land Dying of thirst, never ending desert and sand What lies ahead is the same as the rear view The sentiment is overwhelming, when it hurts you Is it ok to say i'm not ok Going through the motion, I think tomorrows today I've tried to add some color, to shades of grey I've tried to find direction from the wrong way I know this thought is played out, a broken record Won't find a solution with little effort But have you ever lost faith in everything Did you feel the strain from the pain you were carrying I've lost the battle, but I'm trying not to lose the war Its a cold world, that cant be ignored Is it ok to say i'm not ok Going through the motion, I think tomorrows today I've tried to add some color, to shades of grey I've tried to find direction from the wrong way Is it ok to say i'm not ok Going through the motion, I think tomorrows today I've tried to add some color, to shades of grey I've tried to find direction from the wrong way I'm not ok I'm not ok

Too wild to care, you got animal stare You can't stay anywhere in your eyes Think you're leadin' me on but you can be anyone 'Cause I know you'll be gone 'fore I rise An' we're goin' through the motions Yeah, we're goin' through the motions Yeah, we're goin' through the motions Goin' through the motions Stayin' with you gave us somethin' to do I almost thought it was true for a while 'Cause there's love in your lies, you're so thinly disguised You couldn't tell right from wrong if you tried An' we're goin' through the motions Yeah, we're goin' through the motions Yeah, we're goin' through the motions Goin' through the motions To thee I dedicate this photograph I'll even sign it 'Love to you' again And when it's faded and forgotten in some book You'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look, you'll sometimes look It's a game, it's a game, no let's call it a shame 'Cause there's no one to blame just to pay You were a friend for a day, so don't cry if I say That you got what you want, it's okay An' we're goin' through the motions Yeah, we're goin' through the motions Yeah, we're goin' through the motions Goin' through the motions Yeah, yeah, we're goin' through the motions Yeah, we're goin' through the motions Yeah, we're goin' through the motions Goin' through the motions Hey hey, yeah, yeah We're goin', yeah, yeah, yeah, we're goin' Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, we're goin'

This might hurt, it's not safe But I know that I've gotta make a change I don't care if I break At least I'll be feeling something 'Cause just okay is not enough Help me fight through the nothingness of life I don't wanna go through the motions I don't wanna go one more day Without Your all consuming passion inside of me I don't wanna spend my whole life asking What if I had given everything Instead of going through the motions? No regrets, not this time I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind Let Your love make me whole I think I'm finally feeling something 'Cause just okay is not enough Help me fight through the nothingness of this life 'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions I don't wanna go one more day Without Your all consuming passion inside of me I don't wanna spend my whole life asking What if I had given everything Instead of going through the motions? (Take me all the way) Take me all the way (Take me all the way) 'Cause I don't wanna go through the motions (Take me all the way) Lord, I'm finally feeling something real (Take me all the way) I don't wanna go through the motions I don't wanna go one more day Without Your all consuming passion inside of me I don't wanna spend my whole life asking What if I had given everything Instead of going through the motions? I don't wanna go through the motions I don't wanna go one more day Without Your all consuming passion inside of me I don't wanna spend my whole life asking What if I had given everything Instead of going through the motions? (Take me all the way) Take me all the way (Take me all the way) I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go (Take me all the way) Through the motions (Take me all the way) I don't wanna go through the motions

Chasing fairytales and silver screens Perfect endings and engagement rings Time is skating on thin ice Maybe I need to compromise My mind weighs heavy I've been on the road, I'm not sure which way to go Wish your face lit up the sky Constellation I could find, will the stars realign? Going through the motions Drowning in the ocean Can you come and rescue me? Going through the motions Can you come? Go, go Going through the motions Can you come? Go, go Going through the motions Fantasy took control of me Always something wrong with what I see Oh, one check off and i get caught up, yeah Nothing seems to be enough, hey My mind weighs heavy I've been on the road, I'm not sure which way to go (which way to go) Wish your face lit up the sky Constellation I could find, will the stars realign? (Realign) Going through the motions (Going through the motions) Drowning in the ocean (Drowning in the ocean) Can you come and rescue me Going through the motions (I'm going) Can you come? Go, go Going through the motions Can you come? (Can you get here?) Going through the motions (Going through the motions) Can you come? Go, go Going through the motions

Everyday the same routine Operating life machine On and on we live this way With no spontaneity What happened to the wild ones? No sense of the hours What happened to the freedom? Did we get that back? So we're going Going through the motions We're just going Going through the motions We used to live like waves in the oceans Now we're going Going through the motions What if I said let's run away? A one way ticket to an exotic place Dance and scream and shout in the pouring rain Find serenity in the great escape What happened to the wild ones? No sense of the hours What happened to the freedom? Can we get that back? 'Cause we're going Going through the motions We're just going Going through the motions We used to live like waves in the oceans Now we're going Going through the motions (I can't keep going, I can't keep going, I can't keep going I can't keep going, I can't keep going, I can't keep going) I can't, I can't, I can't Said I can't keep going Going through the motions You can't keep going Going through the motions We used to live life with so much emotion Can't keep going Going through the motions
