lyrics

You wait in all my hiding places
You are always awake
I turn around and I can't help but recognise the thrill of the chase
So I run to a place where no-one can see and I beat myself up so I can be free
But I know you've been watching and it's hard to believe:
that you could have gracious feelings for me

Oh I should've known you'd follow me through everyday's failure to be free
I can't promise to keep my eye on you,
Just don't lose sight of me

So I lay myself bare to the back teeth, I am sick in my bones and my heart
I'm burnt to my foundations; frighteningly close to your open arms
I fall and I can't get up again
I'm bitten but I'm not averse to a fight (come on)
Paint me a new picture of paradise in magnolia and white

Oh I should've known you'd follow me through everyday's failure to be free
I can't promise to keep my eye on you,
Just don't lose sight of me

Anyway, these are songs about being alive, which means they're about girls and God and doubt, hope, fear and joy, love and failure. I hope you can relate.. ... more
