What buzzkill to stand still
Words will only drag us under
Yet, here we are looking for light on the ocean floor.
I fell out of your mind,
She put the kettle on inside
And dragged her muddy boots all through the halls.
She took nothing to be sold,
Took no jewels, took no gold
But what you gave her was worth more than anything that she could hold.
Just a little gust of wind, I’m in and I can’t get you outta my mind
Pull me in, I’m crumbling,
But you’re the only place that I wanna hide
It’s you that gets me high.
Break me outta these chains
I’m done with feeling heavy
We’ve played it on repeat for far too long
Lessons learned, fingers burned and a new world to create
So shake the paint and lets make it colourful.
Handcuffs turn to daisy chains
We’ve got a shot to start again
So we bust from the dust like a rose through the rubble of a devastated town.
So I’ll stay, take you in
I know you’re sorry darlin’
I breathe you in, trust again.
I believe you
I forgive you.
