Walking Wounded

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.

We lit the match!

Dropped it and waited!

Just to see how beautiful and painful it could be!

It's funny how clear

Your eyes get from crying

It's funny how clear

Your life gets from dying.

We know your sleeves are long

We're waiting on an answer

All we want is shelter from the times that bring us down

We know your sleeves are long

We're waiting on an answer

Just to be protected from the doubt that's in our heart

We've been at the bottom, we've soared to the sun

Just to see how beautiful and painful it could be

Wings that were ours!

Broken from trying!

Wings that were ours!

Melted while flying!

We know your sleeves are long

We're waiting on an answer

All we want is shelter from the times that bring us down

We know your sleeves are long

We're waiting on an answer

Just to be protected from the doubt that's in our heart
