Straight 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.
this moment right here is one we can suspend
your breath in mine tells me just where i have been
you know the song of a long lost cause
we're running in circles and coming back again
how could i go the long way
taking the easy way down
if i was wrong would you show me
where all that i lost can be found
you can shoot me straight
straight to the heart 'cause you already have it
say what you wanna say, we're coming out of the grey
what goes around now is coming back down today
you can shoot me straight away
don't wanna fight and you don't wanna lose control
we're losing light and the night is getting cold
everyone wants to hear their story told
we're not the only ones, we're not the only ones
how could i go the long way
taking the easy way down
if i was wrong would you show me
where all that i lost can be found
and you wanted to fly and leave it behind
but you know it's gonna come back one day
