Did the world get a little bit colder?
No wiser, just a little bit older
So slow that we're bound to fall over, oh
Did the heart grow a little bit harder
Too much, too late, too far, too gone
From here there's nothing but horizon
Near dawn, I'm searching for the sunrise
Remember when you put the stars into my eyes, oh
Wasn't it kind of wonderful
No wiser, just a little bit older
So slow that we're bound to fall over, oh
Did the heart grow a little bit harder
Too much, too late, too far, too gone
From here there's nothing but horizon
Near dawn, I'm searching for the sunrise
Remember when you put the stars into my eyes, oh
Wasn't it kind of wonderful
...could I really somehow be bulletproof against you
shotgunnin' across my mind
and I've taken you back too many times -- could I be armored against you, too?
Against all the ways that words cut through
against promises breaking into open wounds and
the resulting scars.
Used to pray -- hope for a miracle; two thumbs up for making me cynical
They said I'd gone south
Said I'd gone asunder
They don't know hunger or what I been under
They were all laughing
Thought I was debris
I was just free
