Lyrics
Thief
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.
If only you, you could see
The darkest place that you could be
Maybe then you'd understand
Desert heat to cobalt streets
From broke in home to the city beat
There's so much more you could know
So take me back
When I believe
Back when I was unafraid just like a thief
All the highs that I could reach
Back when I was unafraid just like a thief
If I could live a thousand times
If I could make a thousand tries
Maybe then I'd get it right
The more I see the more I know
That everyone just wants to show
No we don't want to see the truth
So take me back
When I believe
Back when I was unafraid just like a thief
All the highs that I could reach
Back when I was unafraid just like a thief
When the stars look down on me
What do they see
So take me back
When I believe
Back when I was unafraid just like a thief
All the highs that I could reach
Back when I was unafraid just like a thief
