Shine (EP) lyrics

I am a man
Cut from the know
Rarely do friends come and then go
She was a girl
Soft but estranged
We were the two
Our lives rearranged

Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day

Twisting and turning
Your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
She meant you no harm

Think you're so clever but now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
He loves no one else

Raised by my dad

2 a.m. and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake
I don't love him
Winter just wasn't my season

Yeah
We walk through the doors
So accusing their eyes like they have any right at all to criticize
Hypocrites
You're all here for the very same reason

'Cause you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable and life's like an hourglass glued to the table

Oh
The night makes you a star and it holds you cold in its arms
You're the one to whom nobody verses, "I love you"
Unless you say it first

So you lie there holding your breath
And it's strange how soon you forget that you're like stars
They only show up when it's dark 'cause they don't know their worth

And I think you need to stop following misery's lead
Shine away
Shine away

Oh
The night makes you a star and it holds you cold in its arms
You're the one to whom nobody verses I love you unless you say it first

So you lie there holding your breath
And it's strange how soon you forget that you're like stars
They only show up when it's dark 'cause they don't know their worth

And I think you need to stop following misery's lead
Shine away
Shine away
Shine away

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And the light's always red in the rear view
Desperately close to a coffin of hope
I'd cheat destiny just to be near you

And if this is giving up well I'm giving up
If this is giving up well I'm giving up
Giving up on love
On love

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And I'm thinking 'bout calling on Jesus
