A Second Away
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well this ain't the place i would rather be
I never thought i'd need you here
Well it complicates when it's a tragedy
I should have known not learnt to fear
And now i feel like i'm alive
But you could never tell outside
Through all the pain it seems the same
I need you, lord
And now i've found you here
(and over and over)
I can't help drawing near
(cause you are the reason)
When everything's astray
I know you're a second away
Well this shouldn't take this long to make me see
Looking in mirrors gets so dim
Well it's never easy to balance justice and mercy
I leave it up to him
And now i feel like there's a prize
That i should never keep inside
You took the pain and all the shame
I feel alive
And now i've found you here
(and over and over)
I can't help drawing near
(and you are the reason)
When everything's astray
I know you're a second away
(a second away)
And now i've found you here
(and over and over)
I can't help drawing near
(and you are the reason)
When everything's astray
I know you're a second away
