Lyrics
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
