every so often - brick walls lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
at midnight you asked me “are you still awake?”
you had a messed up past, 20 dollars for gas, and a reason to get away
we packed a car full of hopes and dreams, and left in record time
cause i’d been dying to live and now something had to give
so let’s give it all tonight

we lost track of the city streets and left them far behind
and i could see it in your eyes, we were finally alive

[verse 2]
we talked about the world we knew, the things we’d never seen
in our 16 years of running from fears and living in between
we sang along to the empty road, the soundtrack for our youth
and those broken lines we’d heard so many times, they all meant something new
and in the starlight i could see it all rewind
the things that brought us up this way, that brought us to this life

[chorus]
i’ve been getting by
making sunsets out of clay
waiting for another word to say i’m sorry
for all my old mistakes
i’ve been losing time
getting lost inside your words
but we could throw it all away to stop seeing brick walls
when we could see the world
so tell me that you’re not afraid, or tell me something true

[bridge]
i don’t want to wake up just to find
that all i got from all these years was another 9 to 5
i don’t want to wake up anymore
i want to fly beyond these walls and find just what we’re waiting for

and as the sun rose i could see it all so clear
we were never going back to those old fears

[chorus]
i’ve been getting by
making sunsets out of clay
waiting for another word to say i’m sorry
for all my old mistakes
i’ve been losing time
getting lost inside your words
but we could throw it all away to stop seeing brick walls
when we could see the world
so tell me that you’re not afraid, or tell me something true
tell me that you’re not afraid and i’ll share the lie with you
