lyrics

How’d it get so late?
With every hour brings more mistakes
I wish my mind wasn’t such a blank slate

I watched the dawn break
Heard the windows shake
I thought about everyone who cares for me

Sleeping in again
I should be hungover but I don’t feel it
I can’t remember the dreams I had last night

You cannot hide from life anymore
Gotta stop pretending and get up off the floor
There’s a tiny world in every drop of rain
If you get inside, you’ve won the race

I took a walk down the beach
The ocean seemed so out of reach
Is it true that rivers find the sea eventually?

I thought love was strong
I thought it could sort out everything that’s wrong
Over the horizon you can see the making of a storm

Now I’m here underground
The soil is caving in all around
Before you get too high
They say you’ve gotta be all the way down.

You cannot hide from life anymore
Gotta stop pretending and get up off the floor
There’s a tiny world in every drop of rain
If you get inside, you’ve won the race

"Please Don't Say" is the tip of the spear for an album from the heart. ... more
