The Faintest EP Lyrics - Chris Lively

Back to You

Trouble in my head, you in my heart
A night that won’t end, and your tape that won’t start
It’s been weighing on my mind that I can’t tell apart
This trouble in my head, and the flame in my heart
This trouble in my head got no place in my heart

There is a cold, cold water, there is a cold, cold water
But I’ll make it back to you in time, when I ease my mind
When I ease my mind

And if my time should end before this flame in my heart
You should understand the way things come apart
And if I ever cross your mind, be sure to tell apart
This trouble in my head from the flame in my heart

There is a cold, cold water, there is a cold, cold water
Keeps me away from you, keeps me away from you
Despite this cold, cold water, it shouldn’t be much longer
And I will come back to you in time
When I ease my mind, when I ease my mind

Cold water, let me go tonight (*4)

Heart of Stone

Kingdoms they will go unreigned yet time will ease their fall
But time could never ease this strain in me
A wild horse roams with grace it seems enough to tame them all
But grace it only hides the shame in me
While I know most fires cease burning tired and fade to empty glow
They’re not of the kind that rage in me
So I bury in the ground this useless fear I’m choking on
And I will have to face this heart, and I don’t wanna waste this heart

Kingdoms they will go unfeigned but ground still breaks their fall
You faith it broke the stone encasing me
The coldest wars reveal a warmth that we don’t wanna know
And your knife exposed the stronger man in me
While the fires cease burning tired retain an empty glow
I clutch this heart of stone you gave to me
And you can disregard my dear yeah you can just roll on
But I don’t wanna waste this heart, and I cannot replace this heart

You said the things we most outrun are slow to go away
And I hear them with the morning, when I kiss the ground you laid
You’d slide your eyes behind the stars, and I’d sit and watch them glow
And you kissed me with the morning, said don’t ever let me go
No I don’t wanna make this this hard, but you will have to face this heart
No I don’t wanna waste this heavy heart of stone
But I know I can’t save this heavy heart alone.

Burn

When light turns to night and you don’t feel free
Alone in the dark with the ghosts you can’t see
Know that your gold, sweet honey glow
could never be bought, could never be sold (2x)

And if you run into the devil know that he won’t understand
By the time you know just what you’ve lose he will have you by the hand
And if you ever get to burning love just remember that you song goes
on and on and on and on and on
And it will be real if even just in your head

Though nothing remains forever the same
You can hide your face, but please don’t refrain
From singing your song from within your flame
Forever your song, forever the same (2x)

And if you make it to the moon you can hold it in your hand
If the devil tries to talk you down, know he just don’t understand
And if you ever get to burning love just remember that your song goes
on and on and on and on and on
And it will be real if even just in your head

Time is just like the ocean, the more it pulls us the harder we swim
So time can’t tame the ocean down, down, down, down

And if you ever get to burning love know that I would understand
Yeah I’ve run into the devil red and he burned both my hands
But the faintest whisper brought me back to the words of a song that goes
on and on and on and on and on and on and on
And if it wasn’t real least it was in my head (2x)

Rise Above Me

If I knew you really loved me, I could put a stake in my heart
Then the gods above me would talk about the man that I was
But you couldn’t really love me, or you wouldn’t put a stake in my heart
So now I rise above me, knowing that I never got far (2x)

I may be strong, but I can’t seem to fight this lonely heart
and the sense that I might leave this world alone or worse
As someone I don’t wanna be
But I carry on dreaming that you and I were more than we could be
Still I carry on as if you really loved me

If I knew you really loved me, I would head right straight to the stars
And you’d thinking of me, wondering how I ever got that far
But you never really loved me, and you never walked a mile in my shoes
So now I rise above me, knowing that it’s something I must do
Yeah I fear that it’s something I must do

Now I know you never really love me
Or you would put a stake in my heart
So I could rise above me happy that at least I got that far
