lyrics

I’ve been waiting on the world
To shine down
A silver line of peace

A strand that I could climb
And leave behind
This restless body
But every time I look around
I never think to see
Into my own mind, my own heart
For some kind of sanctity

If I don’t love (who’s gonna love you?)
If I can’t stay calm (best expect the storm)
If I don’t say what’s really on my mind
I’d be a fool to let the world do most the talking all the time

People often say that the city
Is full of life
With it’s wide angle lens
It’s easy to get caught up in its light

But if I’m still long enough
A great unraveling
Calling out from the emptiness
No, I never had to leave

If I don’t love (who’s gonna love you?)
If I can’t stay calm (best expect the storm)
If I don’t say what’s really on my mind
I’d be a fool to let the world do most the talking all the time

I know her voice was made
To help this world shine
Those old choices were made
To keep her life in line

But if they do no good
How good can they really be?
I find that if I listen
All the answers come to me

If I learn to love
If I can stay calm
If I can say what’s really on my mind
Won’t need the world to do the talking any of the time
I don’t need the world to do the talking any of the time
