lyrics

Everywhere I’m with you
Feels like home it feels like
Nobody not no one
Can take that from me
Not twice in one week
Given the chance
Who would execute it that way?
Sometimes I’m low
Sometimes I’m high
Sometimes I go to the other side
Running straight falling fast
Built for something but not to last
These knees are buckling
Marionette walk
Lamp to limelight
This just in the winds have
Divulged facts to me
Exclusively concerning
Names and places building up
Your past and future
Do these images mean anything to you?
Sometimes I’m low
Sometimes I’m high
Sometimes I go to the other side
Running straight falling fast
Built for something but not to last
These knees are buckling
Marionette walk
Lamp to limelight
What’s in a name?
I’d ask you just the same
Silver platter bronze light
I hang my head low
In the heavy defeat
I never wanted to see
Silver platter bronze light
I hang my head low
In the heavy defeat
I never wanted to see
How can I hide? It’s there
In the back of my mind
Swallow your pride
Just wait and give it some time
How can I hide? It’s there
In the back of my mind
Swallow your pride
Just wait and give it some time
How can I hide? It’s there
In the back of my mind
Swallow your pride
Just wait and give it some time
