Handstand lyrics

Verse 1Dream McLean

Me and you both
Seen mum stand on her own
Like Queen sit down on your throne
Like maybe like once or twice at Christmas speak with dad on the phone
He was out of it
Yeah I could tell back then
Maybe Like seven or eight or nine or ten, I can never tell when
Blanked it out, grew up blurry
I guess we both grew up early
Then I grew older oblivious to who I'm hurting
But If that was you, I'm certain
You woulda' been there for me when I need it
Deep rooted, deep seedеd
Apple didn't fall too far from where thе tree did
But rolled away down the motorway
And twenty years later you end up where we did
Coincidence or not
I just hope we don't go the way he did
Hate that we ain't been keeping in touch
Just know I still smile when Leeds win
See you at the funeral
Speaking of all these things he taught you
Maybe it was me then
And I saw the signs I just
Always been good at ignoring it
Phone on the side on silent
I just let u keep calling it
Never knew next morning the call I'd get
And now all I can think is you just walking in
To all of it
Crash

ChorusAlex Osiris

Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh
Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh
Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh
Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh

Verse 2Alex Osiris

Ain't nothin' left to say nah
This engine failure
Done seen us landing
Crashed in ball of flames
And it was all in vein
Ya never grew up, now you Peter panned it
Leave us standing
Wondering, are we not family?
You raise hands
And I raise men
Bad times can't erase them
But now we ain't then
You gotta understand
It ain't simple as throwing a tantrum
You're a man take look at your actions
Take responsibility for your madness
Are you mad bruv?
Mum's house and you wanna act up?
Son's house, leaving what you racked up
Coward, didn't even thank us
Instead sent death threats when you tanked up
I ain't even shook of a man
That couldn't look but he ran
I stood firm woulda took a hook and shouldn't be that
Lil bro protect mum, nah couldn't be that
Go on, look at her run
Yeah, now you gotta look at me and
Face facts you ain't pushing me back
Tears in my eyes, knowing it could never go back
Me and you running separate tracks
Never meant it for that
Yeah, I'm sure but I'm telling ya now
You crash landed

Verse 3Wallace Rice

Never knew sadness till my dad left
Never knew madness till my mum left
My pappi for a white man with a black chest
Black heart, black heart
Now these black wet clouds hang over our name like an accent
It's hard to just blend in when there's barriers
Like language or train station with carriages
And the kids at school ask, "What's your accent?"
Never knew sadness till my dad's death
Guess it hangs over you like an accent
I was more a slow burner in that respect
My past tense broke me down like an acronym
Broke me down to the point it was man and him
So I can't leave now always stand with him
You done a couple wrongs that I hope you don't admit
I see your old friends call that bad spirit
Never seen a crash as bad as you landed
Crash landing I brought you a little blanket
Flying through the air like a javelin
And again
A crash mat
Squash my happiness
But love is all I have in this
A guinea pig for your experiments
More Valium for my anxiousness
I'm thinking, "What would daddy think?"
But I never believed in bad spirits before they trapped him in
I never felt evil towards niggas before they was bad to him
I've always seen me and you as different until I act just like him
Every time we speed from our demons see we both crash again
And...

ChorusAlex Osiris

Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh
Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh
Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh
Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh
Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh
Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh
Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh
Crash landing
Your hands
Pull me down and
Handstand
And we rise up and
Ooh

OutroAlex Osiris, Alex Osiris, Dream Mclean, and Wallace Rice, Wallace Rice

Shot down with a piece of lead
Hold this by night slow
Lay me down to sleep
I ain't make the right one
I just need to pay [Right one
Scary, scary, scary scenes
When they shut the lights off
Tell me, do we dream?
What's it like? How's it seem?
What's it like? How's it seem?
Is it slightly ironic the day I woke up from my coma you died in your sleep?
Was it like how you mean?
Is it like when we dream?
Are we all playing Jack the Lad? try to climb the highest tree
No stalk, no stalk, of course
You've got to gather your finest bean first
And at night do your dreams hurt?
All scattered like rest-in-pieces?
Sweet Jesus
Hope you learned your lesson
'Cause you live life reckless
Deathwish, deathwish
Sworn enemies by land rights
But brothers by the essence
It never made no sense
How the loudest noise from the less privileged
Town boys and indie kids
All playing Cowboys and Indians
Wow boy
You was really living
Now your reflection in the mirror
The downfall to our ambition
Cowboys and Idiots
