lyrics

It’s the midnight hours that holds our clearest thinking
it’s the power in the night that wakes us in the early morn
let the sweat drip down my skin, the the blood seep out my pores
the candles burning low, i don’t think it can take any more

It’s the feeling in my gut, that keeps me believing
the choices I’ve made are headed for a perfect storm
and I trust these brittle bones to carry me back home
after each new defeat when the music and the beat leaves me all alone

and I can’t cut loose, until I forget who, I am running from.

So give me the reason, and I’ll give you anything
cos I can’t remember the words that got me here
or how I made your heart sing.
Give me a second try and I’m sure to make you smile
on a stage that’s far from home in a city we both know is alive
is alive.

It’s on the tip of my tongue, the feeling you gave me
that I can’t quite put into words or write down on the page
It’s the sound in my ear in the moment of time that brought me to life
with the lights in my eyes that will keep me like a bird in a cage

So give me the reason, and I’ll give you anything
cos I can’t remember the words that got me here
or how I made your heart sing

So give me a second try and I’m sure to make you smile
on a stage that’s far from home in a city we both know is alive
is alive
