lyrics

If I could, only,
Take that wound out of the past
And hold it to the light
Then maybe, could I
Find a way to fly so high
That mountains wouldn't mind

I've seen the world collapse blind
Held off colors that weren't that worthwhile, so
Take
Me
Higher than the grass and
Show
Me
Fires of the past as
Damp as my
Eyes before they sleep

If I could, only
Take that star out of your eyes
And rest it for a while
Then maybe, would I
Take a leap out of your arms
And land there upside down

I've seen the world collapse blind
Held on flowers that were to go wild
I've heard the winds tell me to get high
Sailed out to sea to find I was blind, so
Take
Me
Higher than the grass and
Show
Me
Fires of the past as
Damp as my
Eyes before they sleep

I've seen the world collapse blind
Held off colors that weren't that worthwhile
I've heard the winds tell me to get high
Sailed out to sea to find I was blind

"Renaut’s voice is more unique and bewitching than her contemporaries or influences." (Eric Shea) ... more
