SayWeCanFly - Between The Roses Lyrics






The Song Of The Sparrow

Like a sparrow, I can fly
But I cannot touch the sky
Like a flower, I can grow
But I cannot grow alone

But someday I would like to know
That when I die, I will find my soul
And when I'm gone, my skin
Is cold, will I care where my body goes?
Where my body goes

Like a season, I can leave
But you cannot follow me
Like a mountain, I am tall
You can climb me until you fall

But someday I would like to know
That when I die, I will find my soul (I will find my soul)
And when I'm gone, my skin
Is cold, will I care where my body goes?
Where my body goes
(Where my body goes)

I have ripped the beating heart
Out of my chest for you
Bleeding as I fall apart
I've torn my wings in two
[Repeat]

But someday I would like to know
That when I die, I will find my soul
And when I'm gone, my skin
Is cold, will I care where my body goes?
Where my body goes

Fix My Heart

1-2, 1-2-3-4
It's kinda strange that I think about you
But I can't complain, 'cause I really wanna love you
Say my name, but be careful
Not to break my heart (don't break my heart)
Call me crazy, but I believe that it would
Be amazing, to dream about the way that
We would gaze at the stars
That made us fall in love (fall)

But maybe I should find
A way to let you know
That even though you're gone
You have left me here alone
Well baby, you should try
To fix my heart before you go
Because my heart will always be your second home

She's the sky
The one that makes me feel so damn alive
And I believe that even when I die
Her clouds will bring me back to life (don't break my heart)
I'm the rain, and when I fall I feel a
Drop of pain, 'cause you don't catch me now
But it's okay, 'cause I will never break your heart (fall)

But maybe I should find
A way to let you know
That even though you're gone
You have left me here alone
Well baby, you should try
To fix my heart before you go
Because my heart will always be
My heart will always be
Well my heart will always be your second home

The Art Of Anesthesia

Sometimes I think about who I should believe
The people who are dead or the people who are free
Sometimes I hear them as they whisper to me
I try to stay awake so I won't die in my sleep

And I was quick to take a second look through
The window on the door of the operating room
And the adrenaline, it threw my eyes
To the table on the floor where the patients lie

I saw his face and I could not speak
As the anesthetic kissed his cheek
I felt my lips go cold and my limbs go weak
Because the body on the table where the patients die was me
It was me

Give me back my oxygen mask
Cause I don't want to feel the walls of my heart collapse
So put me under
I would sooner die on this table
Than face what causes me to be so unstable

There was a lie between my demons and me
And a body made of paper in the passenger seat
As I open my eyes, I could not see
I felt the stitches come loose and the blood run free

And as my thoughts began to shake
I felt the hand of the darkness kiss my face
And then the devil woke up and he grabbed my throat
He pulled me down to the place where the silence grows

He looks at me with hollow eyes
And he whispered my name as the flowers died
I felt my heart go cold as I sank between
The ocean I am and the river I'm meant to be
I'm meant to be

Give me back my oxygen mask
Cause I don't want to feel the walls of my heart collapse
So put me under
I would sooner die on this table
Than face what causes me to be so unstable

Now I'm standing by the window on a Sunday
And I can't quite recall
Why I cannot move at all

And I feel so tired and wounded
Like the stitches on my soul came apart
I'm standing here in the dark

Well, maybe it's from the drinks we had last night
But good god, I love those friends of mine
The best that alcohol can buy

Or maybe it's from the lack of sleep
But all those secrets I've kept, trying to be so sweet to you
It's dark, my dear
But it got me through, it got me through

So give me back my oxygen mask
Cause I don't want to feel the walls of my heart collapse
So put me under
I would sooner die on this table
Then face what causes me to be so unstable
Causes me to be so unstable
Causes me to be so unstable

Sometimes I wonder if I'm only a ghost
Wearing human skin I never chose
I listen to the devil as he spoke
Because he tempted me with a beautiful rose

The Distance That Took You Away

I know I love you but I won't
Tell you a thing in case you don't
I know I miss you, but it's OK
I don't get depressed when I am lonely

But I just need something to calm my nerves
Preferably a cigarette or something just as absurd
Or maybe I want my anxiety to stay
'Cause in the end it's all I have to ease the pain
Of the distance that took you away

I'll take a drink because I'm lost
Trapped somewhere deep inside my thoughts...
But if for some reason you forget,
Well, I'll just remember you instead

But I just need something to calm my nerves
Preferably a cigarette, or something just as absurd
Or maybe I want my anxiety to stay
'Cause in the end it's all I have to ease the pain
Of the distance that took you away

Pawprints

And your heart is meant to stay inside your chest until it breaks
And when it does, oh on that day, I will not run
But I will stay
But I will stay

And I will be your moon when you're too close to the sun
And I will be your wolf stand beside you as you run
And when it gets too cold you and I will build a home
Made of simple sticks and stones
And your fur will keep me warm
And my fur will keep you warm

And your song is meant to be up in the sky where all the angels sing
And when it's time for us to leave
We will shine bright,
For all the world to see
For all the world to see

And I will be your moon when you're too close to the sun
And I will be your wolf stand beside you as you run
And when it gets too cold you and I will build a home
Made of simple sticks and stones
And your fur will keep me warm
And my fur will keep you warm

And your fur will keep me warm
And my fur will keep you warm
And my fur will keep you warm

Oh My Love

Oh, my love I write you this
'Cause someday I'll be gone
And oh, my love, when that day comes
I want you to be strong
Knowing that I loved you more than anything else
Believe that I'm in heaven
And that you'll go there as well

When our bodies touch the earth again
When the people cry
'Cause they'll believe that we have left
Oh, our souls will touch the sky again
And they will glow, they will glow
'Cause they'll be home

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And oh, my love, I miss the times
When you would hold me close
And oh, my love, those times are what I'll always treasure most
You'll be my sweet angel
And I will be your sweet ghost
And someday soon
I promise you
That I won't haunt you anymore
'Cause we will both be angels
And you'll know that we are ghosts [2x]

When our bodies touch the earth again
When the people cry
'Cause they'll believe that we have left
Oh, our souls will touch the sky again
And they will glow, they will glow
'Cause they'll be home

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[2x]
If I can't have you
That's okay with me
Just as long as I know
That you're living free

[2x]
As long as I know
That you're living free

I Never Thought

Oh, oh
You think you know me well,
But you don't know the half of what I've been through
Sometimes we gotta walk through hell,
Just one of many places that I've been to
And I don't know why you think
That you deserve a piece of everything
But take what you can, and earn what
You want, 'cause I'm not gonna give you anything

I've been, I've been thinking about you
But I don't, I don't know you now
I thought, I thought our love was true
I guess we both slipped somehow
I guess we both slipped somehow

You try your hardest to convince me
I'm worth nothing
But even with a scar, a diamond's
Still worth something
I don't know why you don't understand bad timing
But do what you want and say what you can
'Cause to me you'll never be
A rock worth climbing

I've been, I've been thinking about you
But I don't, I don't know you now
I thought, I thought our love was true
I guess we both slipped somehow
[x2]

I put gas in the engine and drove all night
With a tank full of memories
We said our goodbyes
I never thought that it would end like this
I never thought that, no, I never thought that, no
Cracks in the rims remind me to smile
'Cause they're all I've got to remind me of why
I never thought that it would end like this
I never thought that, no never thought that, no
I never thought that it would end like this,
Never thought that, I never thought that, no
I never thought that it would end like this
Never thought that, never thought that, no

By The River

There's a river in my soul
Slowly drifting water guiding me home
How it calms me as it flows
Drags my heart back to the shore
There's a moon up in the sky
Turning every shadow back into light
The stars are dancing in your eyes
As they dance, they glow so bright [x2]

Oh, this can't be just a dream
Everything makes sense when you're with me
I just want to keep you safe
You deserve that every day

There's an earth beneath our feet
And it smiles when you are walking with me
Beneath the moon that lifts you
Watch over me and keep me safe when I'm asleep
We were made to feel alone
Incomplete and on our own
But by the river in my soul
I swear to God I've found a home [x2]

Oh, this can't be just a dream
Everything makes sense when you're with me
I just want to keep you safe
You deserve that every day
You deserve that every day

As the wind blows through the trees
There's a warmth of you inside of me
Take my heart and let it be
By the river, set me free

Brother

You run away but,
I don't know where you're running to.
You stay awake because you don't want the shadow to catch you.
No, you, you lied to me because you're own heart beat haunts you.
And there's only so much I can do.

So rest your weary soul,
And don't be afraid of growing old.
With flowers on your chest,
I want you to know you did your best.

I don't know quite what to do,
I've spent ten years waiting on you.
And my tolerance is thin for these ultimatums and disappointments.
If the past means more to you than letting it go,
Then just let me go too.
Cause there's only so much I can do.

So, rest your weary soul,
And don't be afraid of growing old.
With flowers on your chest
I want you to know you did your best.

You've given me no option but to be alone,
But I've learned so much and grown so strong that I thank you
For being so cold.
You've given me a broken family,
But it's okay,
I was never much of a son or a brother anyway.

Rest your weary soul,
Don't be afraid of growing old.

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my heart will find some peace,
If I should die before I find the reasons I should wake.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my heart will find some peace,
If I should die before I find the reasons I should wake.

Summer Never Came

If you ever need some Love
I'll give you mine, I'll give you mine, I'll give you mine
Because you remind me of the things that
Make me smile, make me smile, make me smile

Because summer never came and autumn went away
But I will always and forever feel the same
You are my heart, you are my bones
You keep me safe when I'm alone
You are the rain against my skin
You are the love I'm falling in
I wanna hold you close
I just wanna hold you close

And never let you go

I will always try my best but if we don't
Make it through, make it through, make it through
Well, that spot inside my chest will still
Belong to you, belong to you, belong to you

Because summer never came and autumn went away
But I will always and forever feel the same
You are my heart, you are my bones
You keep me safe when I'm alone
You are the rain against my skin
You are the love I'm falling in
I just wanna hold you close

And never let you go

Between The Roses

If you ever feel like I did when you slip between the cracks
Maybe then you'll see how nothing stays in tact
And when my life is over maybe you can understand
That I planned everything, but nothing went as planned
It's nothing personal, I just want you to know
I tried to understand

You tortured me with the silence in your throat
And you tortured me with the stillness in your bones
You kicked the chair from underneath my feet
You must have seen the noose made out of roses that I wore to guarantee
That you couldn't go, that you wouldn't leave me all alone
Cause if you did, you'd see my body hanging just above the floor
Beside a note, to tell the world how terrible it was
To fall in love with someone capable of cutting out my tongue,
Of cutting out my, of cutting out my tongue

So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
The poison that we drank, so that at least we'd die together

It's comforting to fall asleep alone
And it's comforting because it's all I've ever known
If I should die before I wake
I pray to God my soul will find a peaceful place
Between the roses, between the roses
Because the earth is only pretty for so long
Between the roses, between the roses
You were the only one I'll trust to sing along
To sing between the roses, sing my song

So did you just forget, or do you really not remember
The bullets that we took so we could stay alive forever
And did you just forget, or do you really not remember
The poison that we drank, so that at least we'd die together

As the sun went down, our hearts were heavy
We knew it was time, but I was not ready
To let you go, to say goodbye
To a love I thought would never die
You were quiet as hell and you looked so sad
As I kissed your lips with my regrets
In hopes that maybe we'd pretend
Forever never had to end

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la la la la
That maybe we'd pretend
Our hope had died, but our love's not dead

So grab your black umbrella and make your way down to the graveyard
Where you'll find the tree to which I tied this rope
And nothing is for certain, that's the only thing I know
But I'm certain that it's time for me to go
It's nothing personal, it simply hurts to know
That I will be alone
