How Did We Get Here 04:00
lyrics
STILL DRIVING THEM BOYS CRAZY BUT I WAS THE FIRST TO BE THE LAST TO LEAVE YOUR HEART NOW I MIGHT FORGET WHAT TOUCHING YOU FEELS LIKE BUT I CAN STILL LIVE IN THE MEMORY OF YOUR VOICE AT LEAST FOR A TIME FOR A TIME, AT LEAST AND YOU MIGHT FORGET WHAT LOVING ME FEELS LIKE BUT WE CAN STILL LIVE IN THE MEMORY OF US AT LEAST FOR A TIME FOR A TIME, AT LEAST HOW DID WE GET HERE? HOW DID WE MAKE NOTHING OUT OF SOMETHING? UNDER A MOON IN NOVEMBER THE WAY YOU LOOKED I KNEW THIS WAS A FOREVER THING TURNS OUT LIFE HAD OTHER IDEAS AND STAYING APART I DIDN’T REALISE WAS THE WAY IT WAS GONNA BE YOU WERE GONNA LEAVE AND WE’D HAVE TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER LIFETIME AND WE WERE NEVER REALLY MEANT TO BE BUT I’M SO GLAD WE HAD OUR TIME WE HAD OUR TIME SO, HOW DID WE GET HERE? HOW DID WE MAKE NOTHING OUT OF SOMETHING? HOW DID WE GET HERE? HOW DID WE MAKE NOTHING OUT OF SOMETHING?

I took my eye Off the ball for a minute Wasn’t in it.. just a minute …And the world rushed in I had the key Had the secret combination To my inner Eldorado Looked away …and the world rushed in Lost more times Than I can count But I got back in it Back in the game That everybody loses in the end But I got back in Then the world rushed in So let your heart open And all good things come to you When you let the world in Let your heart open And all good things come to you When you let the world in There’ll always be people Trying to hem your life in.. Keep your neck under their knees But you can’t let them win Look out for those friends Who are really trying to hurt you More than your enemies Know you can’t let them in Frenemies who burned the bridges And your house down with it Combing through what’s left , in ashes And you keep on living On a wing Through slings and arrows And you keep on living So let your heart open And all good things come to you When you let the world in Let your heart open And all good things come to you When you let the world in I said to myself, Why do you leave yourself open? Bare hearted? For the world to rush in? I took a leap of faith And landed far away looking for that peace in my mind Before the world rushes in I crossed more waters than I drowned in And I’ll go down again Don’t need to hide your scars They’re the map of who you are.. Cause you know you gotta grow ….Let the world rush in! So let your heart open And all good things come to you When you let the world in Let your heart open And all good things come to you When you let the world in

On Stony Ground 04:02

I’m losing you and I never meant to push you away I feel it too and you don’t touch me the same way On stony ground Our love’s light was always in the darkest of places On stony ground is where Our strongest roots ever grew Can we go back to the way it was Can we go back to When you could be mine And I was yours It’s all on the line Drawn across the sand Time to make up your mind Games that we played don’t seem as fun anymore We don’t laugh the same way I can’t remember the last time we took love Took love by the collar And shook the life back Took the light back To stony ground Can we go back to the way it was Can we go back to When you could be mine And I was yours Can we go back to the way it was Can we go back to When you could be mine And I was yours Our love is strongest On stony ground
