Let me be

Anyway the thing is…

 

Your Song lyrics

It’s a little bit funny
This feeling inside.
I’m not one of those who can
Easily hide.

I don’t have much money
But boy if I did
I’d buy a big house where
We both could live.

So excuse me forgetting
But these things I do.
See I’ve forgotten if
They’re green or they’re blue.

Anyway the thing is…
What I really mean…
Yours are the sweetest eyes
I’ve ever seen.

And you can tell everybody
This is your song.
It maybe quite simple but
Now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind (x2)
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is
Now you’re in the world.

If I was a sculptor
But then again no.
Or a girl who makes potions in
A travelling show.
I know it’s not much but
It’s the best I can do.
My gift is my song and
This one’s for you.

Oh… (x8)

And you can tell everybody
This is your song.
It may be quite simple but
Now that it’s done
I hope you don’t mind (x2)
That I put down in words
How wonderful life is..
Now you’re in the world.

Never cried when I was feeling down

I’m on the corner waiting for a light to come on
That’s when I know that you’re alone
It’s cold in the desert, water never sees the ground
Special unspoken without sound

Told me you love me, that I’d never die alone
Hand over your heart, let’s go home
Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the signs
I’ve always been known to cross lines

I never ever cried when I was feeling down
I’ve always been scared of the sound
Jesus don’t love me, no one ever carried my load
I’m too young to feel this old

Here’s to you, here’s to me
On to us, nobody knows
Nobody sees, nobody but me

She wore green

To stir humanity with visions of dignity

It was cold on the docks that night
As a frozen white light
Shone across my shoes
As I stood in the darkest blue
There came a light towards me
On the water that lay before me
And I could not wait to touch
The frozen hands that had felt so much

Oooooooo

I heard a song inside of me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices sang it back to me
If life is an ocean
Then I’m only on the surface

This is where they come in
Where some lives end and some begin
And this is where I like to stand
And watch the swirling ways of man
To stir humanity with visions of dignity
To see what will conspire
If I throw myself into its fire

Oooooooo

I heard a song inside of me
It resonated off the sea
And all the chorus voices sang it back to me
If life is an ocean
Then we’re only on the surface

Ooooooooo

I heard a voice inside of me
I looked up and I saw the sky scream
And there was light everywhere
If life is an ocean
Then I must be on the surface
Only on the surface

~ Civil Twilight “On The Surface”

Icarus

It’s one hundred and nine degrees in this crowded room
No room to breathe with walls as cold as a gallery
This is no place for me
Such hard faces in smoke
The smell lingers in my clothes
It’s a bad night to be alone
But that’s the way it goes

And I think of you whenever life gets me down
I think of you whenever you’re not around
And you rest your bones
Somewhere far from my house
Yeah, but you still pull me home

I thought I had it figured out in a brand new life
With a great big house
And green initials on the towels
I should be happy now
Well, you got yourself a family
And you planted roots down by the sea
I saw you once on the street
You didn’t notice me

But I think of you whenever life gets me down
I think of you whenever you’re not around
You rest your bones
Somewhere far from my house
Yeah, but you still pull me home

Just to put your mind at ease
You don’t owe me anything
You paid me well in memories

And I think of you whenever life gets me down
I think of you whenever you’re not around
And you rest your bones
Somewhere far from my house
Yeah, but you still pull me home
You still pull me home
You still pull me home
