I turn the music up, I got my records on I shut the world outside until the lights come on Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone But I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night Until Monday morning feels another life I turn the music up, I'm on a roll this time And heaven is in sight
I turn the music up, I got my records on From underneath a rubble sing a rebel song Don't want to see another generation drop I'd rather be a comma than a full stop Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees Maybe I'm in the gap between the two trapezes But my heart is beating and my pulses start Cathedrals in my heart
As we saw oh this light I swear you emerge blinking into To tell me it's alright
As we soar walls Every siren is a symphony And every tear's a waterfall
Is a waterfall, ah Is a waterfall, ah Is always a waterfall Every tear is always a waterfall, ah
So you can hurt, hurt me bad But still I'll raise the flag
Oh, It was a wa-ah-ah-ah, waterfall A wa-ah-ah-ah, waterfall
Every tear Every tear Every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear Every tear Every teardrop is a waterfall
There's a story in your eyes I can see the hurt behind your smile For every sign I recognize Another one escapes me
Let me know what plagues your mind Let me be the one to know you best Be the one to hold you up When you feel like you're sinking
Tell me once again What's beneath the pain you're feeling Don't abandon me Or think you can't be saved
I walk beside you Wherever you are Whatever it takes No matter how far
Through all that may come And all that may go I walk beside you I walk beside you
Summon up your ghosts for me Rest your tired thoughts upon my hand Step inside the sacred place When all your dreams seem broken
Resonate inside this temple Let me be the one who understands Be the one to carry you When you can walk no further
Tell me once again What's below the surface bleeding If you've lost your way I will take you in
I walk beside you Wherever you are Whatever it takes No matter how far
Through all that may come And all that may go I walk beside you I walk beside you
Oh when everything is wrong Oh when hopelessness surrounds you Oh the sun will rise again The tide you swim against will carry you back home So don't give up Don't give in
I walk beside you Wherever you are Whatever it takes No matter how far
Through all that may come And all that may go I walk beside you I walk beside you
She's never alone, because she's scared of what she might say to herself Always drinking in the backroom of the bar where everyone turns in A half-hearted grin
She won't be afraid as long as that prescription keeps going through
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard cut out of someone, I use to learn from
But on the phone, she's telling everyone, that there was a blue sky, she left behind And there's a place that no one knows about, Away from integrity she writes a book in her head that nobody will read
Whatever you say, please don't talk about the time when she was young Apparently that was a different person and so long ago it's strange to me, there's no history
But there's a past and she's telling everyone It must be a garden, that wouldn't grow With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame to herself as we watch he drown, I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown
Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy there is a selfish dream That makes me sick Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground To you what is dangerous is safe and sound... You let me down
