Lyrics
All That Hammering
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.
I used to think joy was the break between sorrows
Like peace was the break between wars
I'm still partly new now but mostly older
And I cannot say I'm so sure
Chorus 1
I never trusted happiness as far as I could throw it
Always preparing for the worst 'cause I would know it
All of that hammering in the dark
Like a new Noah working on his ark
I may look back at today and feel foolish
My old view was right all along
I will rush in where no angels are walking
And fight for the right to be wrong
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Between my potential and the deep blue sea
There's a rock and diamond either side of me
Between our potential and the break of day
There is nothing at all in our way
