Please please please
No apologies
At best they buy you time
Until you next step out of line
Please please please
No more remedies
My method is uncertain
It's a mess but it's working
And maybe if you tried it out
You won't like it when you're crying out

With your head full of stars
That crowd all you see
Sing for me
With your mouth full of stones
Grindin' your teeth
Speak for me

You're a hot mess
You act like you've got nothing to lose
But I've already lost my temper

What a way to waste your wishes
Changing something for somehow
What I'd pay to taste your kisses
Oh yeah,
Here and now, here and now
Here and now, d'you hear me now

Will there be thunder?
Will lightning strike?
Will I kneel in wonder
In a tunnel of light?

[...]

Hallelujah, hallelujah
I got to you

Got my head spinnin' round
Wonderin' when it's gonna stop

You better look up or you're gonna be gone
Before you hit the ground

I feel light up on my feet
From the way you look at me
You open up the universe
Yeah I bet you get this all the time

I crumble when you touch my wings
But that's okay 'cause I'm nothing
I'm tougher than you think
Yeah I bet you get this all the time

Usually I hate things with reggae beats, but I make an exception for this.

Drew Holcomb writes the most beautiful songs.

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow...
