The Girl-City and Colour
if only.
There’s one little voice on the inside,
That’s dying to tell you don’t say goodbye
But I can’t make you stay
You might stay a day or a couple weeks
But sooner or later you’ll find your wings
And you’ll just fly away
And you’ll hear me say,
I wish I would’ve taken a few more chances
spun you ‘round the room a few more dances
Just for once look past these fences
Followed your heart over that horizon
Never looking back just keep on driving
But holding you is just like trying
To bottle up lightning.
Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
‘Cause you chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
That was then and this is now
Now look at me
This is the part of me that you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
This is the part of me that you’re never gonna ever take away from me, no
Throw your sticks and stones
Throw your bombs and your blows
But you’re not gonna break my soul.
As Much As I Ever Could-City and Colour
Oh.
Love of mine,
Won’t you lay by my side,
And rest your weary eyes,
Before we’re out of time,
Give me one last kiss,
For soon, such distance,
Will stretch between our lips,
Now the day’s losing light.
I want so badly to believe that there is truth, that love is real.
