Lyrics of Mayday (Demo) by Imagine Dragons
verse
Move my hips
They seem to shake a bit of golden stitch
I see you movin′ like a model
I-I-I, I just am stuttering lately
I-I-I, I wanna capture all the people dance
I think I'm living in a disco trance
I see you moving like a model
I-I-I, I just stuttering, I′m lately
I-I-I, I shake a finger
chorus
Oh, it's such a shame to see
I get up, I get up
I'm just waiting to fly away
This seems insane to me
I get up, I get up
I wonder why they all cry mayday
verse
Read my lips
I never needed all your double dips
I see you moving like a model
I-I-I, I′ll just keep stuttering lately
I-I-I, I wanna capture all the people think
I wanna see who is the last to blink
I see you moving like a model
I-I-I, I just keep stuttering lately
I-I-I, I shake a finger
chorus
Oh, it′s such a shame to see
I get up, I get up
I'm just waiting to fly away
This seems insane to me
I get up, I get up
I wonder why they all cry mayday
bridge
I believe in sayin′
Everything I needed
Tell me all the reasons
Tell me all the answers
Shout it to the masses
Give me all the pieces
Everything you want
Everything I needed
chorus
Oh, it's such a shame to see
I get up, I get up
I′m just waiting to fly away
This seems insane to me
I get up, I get up
I wonder why they all cry
Oh, it's such a shame to see
I get up, I get up
I′m just waiting to fly away
This seems insane to me
I get up, I get up
I wonder why they all cry mayday
