Lyrics
Let The Waters Overtake Us
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.
Wait up for me, I've been running forever.
My heart has been beating too slow to catch up with my feet.
So this is what it's like to be alone.
I never thought I'd end up like this.
And for the first time in my life I find myself on my knees (reaching up) to the sky.
I am the greatest of all pretenders.
You will never know how my insides burn.
Please don't wake me up.
My soul hurts to even be.
What have I found in this life of mine except that no one can ever find true happiness without finding it within themselves first? I shouldn't have to feel this way.
No one should have to feel this way.
Sometimes the only way out, is giving in.
