lyrics

I’ve said it once before, my heart is too along
Been stumblin’ through this road of mine that’s paved in cobbled stone
But I need you here tonight, help unleash my holy ghost
I need a hand to hold my soul up, that’s what I need most
Finally you know that you don’t have to go
I hope you feel my heartbeat, that it’s not turned to stone
But if it has been so, light a fire that burns it slow
I’ve got a dollar you can spend so I don’t spend it alone

Walking ‘round on Bryan street, I ain’t got no chance to leave
Feeling weight of all the hurt that I’ve caused no chance of sweet relief
But I need the circular sense of reality that’s cursed
I’ve got some love that I hold on to, the smoke is always worse
When it burns under my eyes, and it ain’t no big surprise
‘Cause it follows wherever I go but it’s hard to realize
That is sums me up to size, take away my haunting lies
I’ll let it go when I get home so I can fantasize

And it’s thoughts like this that break me
Spin me ‘round pick me up and shake me
I’ve got life and I ain’t complaining
I’ll cradle up and it might just save me

I’ve said it once before, my heart is too alone
Feel colors fade and feelings swell to a land of great unknown
And metaphorically I wish that I could see
But I like this more, unlock my door and throw away the key
But I’ve got you in my sight, take away this blinding light
I’d like to see your smiling face black-lit by stars tonight
I’ll eat up all my pride, let you dive down deep inside
‘Cause I ain’t got no more good reasons, none more left to hide

And it’s thoughts like this that break me
Spin me ‘round pick me up and shake me
I’ve got life and I ain’t complaining
I’ll cradle up and it might just save me
