Don’t Look Now, I’m Being Followed. Act Normal Lyrics

[Intro]
Is this the edge of the world?
We chased the horizon down 'til it hung beneath our feet
And now I'm drifting blind
And all I know is we can't move closer

[Chorus]
And I've never seen the lights of the north
The constellations are so unfamiliar

[Verse 1]
We followed far, as far as this machinery takes us
To this imaginary place where the compass drifts
And our lips shift to our cheeks
Is this the edge of the world?
And all I know is we can't move closer

[Chorus]
And I've never seen the lights of the north
The constellations are so unfamiliar

[Verse 2]
Searching for some apparent place
Where floated needles decide the way
I'd dig in my heels, but I might crack the ice
Give me some solid ground
[Verse 3]
The frost is sinking in
In my cheeks, in my chest, in my fingertips
Desperation, we name every cape beyond the last
Frozen senseless, every day is a winter solstice
The view's a wonder, but I can't take it in
Is this the edge of the world?

[Chorus]
And I've never seen the lights of the north
The constellations are so unfamiliar

[Bridge]
Sun, make canvas of coastlines so I know where I stand
Make canvas of coastlines so I know where I stand
Sun, make canvas of coastlines so I know where I stand
Make canvas of coastlines

We round each cape to find a bay to call our own
We round each cape to find a coast to call our home
Make canvas of coastlines

[Outro]
And I've never seen the lights of the north
The constellations are so unfamiliar
So unfamiliar, so unfamiliar, oh
So unfamiliar (So unfamiliar)
So unfamiliar, oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]

About

Genius Annotation

In an track-by-track done through Alternative Press, frontman Trenton Woodley had the following to say about this song:

“Act Normal” is about finding yourself somewhere you’ve never been before, physically or emotionally. Plenty of times I’ve found myself unsure what to do next. This song’s taken on more meaning as the band has pushed further and further past what we ever really expected to do.
