Into the ground
Your hand catches on my arm
Hangs there a second then it's gone
I'm left wondering if I've got it wrong
My heart catches in my throat
As you tell me you don't know what you're doing
Does anyone?
I try my hardest not to care
But hope's a heavy load to bear
All I want is to feel you there
Show me that you’re hurting
It hurts to see you so fine
You’re a master of holding it all inside
Let me show you that I love you
It hurts to push it down
I'm running my heart into the ground
My chest swells when we sing
Our voices quiver and they ring
Each harmony is a tender thing
You have all of my faith
When I'm with you I feel safe
I watch you watch the moon on the waves
Let me hold you tonight
Let me run my thumb over your shoulder blade
Show me that you’re hurting
It hurts to see you so fine
You’re a master of holding it all inside
Let me show you that I love you
It hurts to push it down
I'm running my heart into the ground
Wrong place, wrong time
Still we walk the same line
Took so long to find
I hope you keep me in mind
Show me that you’re hurting
It hurts to see you so fine
You’re a master of holding it all inside
Let me show you that I love you
It hurts to push it down
I'm running my heart into the ground
A Little Quiet
I'm fine I'm alright
I just need a little quiet
And a bit of time to step away from things
For now I'm heading back home
I'll scrub myself clean with mum's favourite soap
Let the water run over me a little longer than usual
I'm climbing up to the hill
Apricot clouds stretch and swell
Then blacken at day's funeral
I'm fine I'm alright
It's just the weight of the world gets too much from time to time
And I gotta sit with the hurting
For now I'm heading out west
The city lights clog up the sky a little less
And the river runs through you like sweet wine
There in the wattles and gums
The lorikeets dance and insects hum
Oh it helps ease the mind with time
Hold me close I feel like I can't breathe tonight
Walk with me out in the bush and we'll look up at the sky
And your hair smells like smoke from the open fire
Hold my head upon your chest and I'll breathe in time with you
I'm fine I'm alright
I just need a little quiet
And a bit of time to step away from things
For now I'm sprinting into the surf
Salt in my eyebrows and feet off the earth
And I'm happy just floating here
Cradled by the sea
Nothing to hold and nothing to be
Things start looking a little clearer
