Minor Earth Major Sky lyrics

I used to be so sensible on my own
Now I'm so sensitive it's a joke
I'm getting by on decibels like a drug
And greet every brand new day with a shrug

I'm barely hanging on

I used to be so comfortable in a suit
Almost presentable next to you
I used to be so confident in a crowd
Now I can't say my own name aloud

I'm barely hanging on

And now I guess you're wondering why

To hold me close
or set me free
to trust completely
or let it be
You don't know my destiny
You can't see what I can see

Hey - I wish I cared
Hey - I wish I cared

To love me truly
or let me go
In between
I don't want to know
This is how it has to be
No more us and no more we.

Hey - I wish I cared
Hey - I wish I cared

Once again on the station.
See your face in a crowd.

I won't forget her
She was once my love
I won't forget her
She was once my love

When I hold you in my arms
Oh yeah
You know I'll let you come to no harm
Oh yeah

But if one day
Much like today
You stop and wonder what I'd prefer
Would you know that I won't forget her

I won't forget her
She was once my love (would you know that i won't forget her)
I won't forget her

I never saw sunlight
Burn as bright
I never felt darkness
The way I feel it tonight

You say it's getting better
You say it's all right

But I never felt darkness
Like I feel it tonight
Little black heart

Raindrops on my window
I can't tell them apart
Like the few things forgiven
In my little black heart

You say it's getting better
We just never got it right

Mary cries out: "for the love of God"
As she's walking out of the laundromat
Down the street and it's the short way home
Feeling special cause she's so alone

But we know
The world's full of lonely people
And it shows
The world's full of lonely people

She shrugs her coat off and unlocks the door
Eats her dinner on the kitchen floor
Writes a poem and turns the radio on

I can't see me in this empty place
Just another lonely face
I can't see me here in outer space
It's so hard to leave a trace

And I try and I try and I try
But it never comes out right
Yes I try and I try and I try
But I never get it right

It's a
Minor earth major sky

I can't see me in this lonely town
Not a friendly face around
Can you hear me when I speak out loud

Summer moved on
And the way it goes
You can't tag along
Honey moved out
And the way it went
Leaves no doubt

Moments will pass
In the morning light
I found out
Seasons can't last
And there's just one thing
Left to ask

Stay
Don't just walk away
And leave me another day
A day just like today
With nobody else around

Friendships move on
And until the day
You get along

Andy was the company man
Responsible for signing the band
Songs came out of our mouths
And into his hands
Oh yeah

Legal help, yes we had plenty
Bank-accounts are easy to empty
Everybody's trying to help
Everyone is so friendly
Oh yeah

And we all come down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground
Yes we all fall down
Don't make a sound as we hit the ground

The sun never shone that day
From an early dawn the sky was grey
I never should have walked away
I know that now, but I'm here to say:

Everybody walks away
Everybody's led astray
Breaking every plan to stay
It happens all the time
The sun never shone that day
From an early dawn the sky was grey
I never should have walked, i know
I see that now, but it's hard to show

I thought that it was you
The things you saw me do
They were true

Little did I know
You found me in your joy
And there was I, a little boy

My shadows they're not new
My soul's split in two
Lord, I thought that it was you

This Christmas snow that falls
Gives silence to us all, amen, amen

You know my deepest sin
You've seen me deep within
So fill me now like wind
And let the miracle begin

You know I always had the strength to fight
But I got tired of the wars at night
Thinking they would end if I gave in
But I wasn't strong enough

... To let you win

I knew the fight but I didn't know the cost
And how to stop the weheels when they're in spin
I thought you couldn't love a man who'd lost
No, I wasn't strong enough

... To let you win

It used to scare me to wake up wondering

Her skin is like velvet
Her face cut from stone
Her eyes when she's smiling
Will never reach home
But hear how she sings

Her touch would be tender
Her lips would be warm
But when we're together
I'm always alone
But hear how she sings

Her skin is like velvet
So I went to her home
Her place like a palace
With things you can't own

Her skin is like velvet
But hear how she sings

You say you want some fun
You're not the only one
Not the only one

And you say you wanna run
You're not the only one
Not the only one

You will never get over me
I'll never got under you
Whenever our voices speak
It's never our minds that meet

You say you want some
You're not the only one
Not the only one

And you, you say you've come undone
You're not the only one
Not the only one
