lyrics

Going home to rest your head, trying to forget the words that you said
Sleep comes hard and it comes slow when you’re wondering if its time for you to go
At the time it sounded right, here you are again tonight twisting and turning, hopeless and burning just waiting for the light.
ohh

Gotta make it right
There’s no way around it, these feelings will drown us if we push them out of sight
And we may lose tonight
But when we wake up it was just a shake-up, washed away by the morning light

Six a.m. a new day begins, silent sun comes creeping into my room
First thought to cross my mine, Was I the one who was standing out, out of line?
I know I’m stubborn it’s easy to see, for all that’s wrong the blame’s on me
Don’t let something so small bring an end to it all
Just please don’t set me free
Ohh

Gotta make it right
There’s no way around it, these feelings will drown us if we push them out of sight
And we may lose tonight
But when we wake up it was just a shake-up, washed away by the morning light

Gotta make it right
There’s no way around it, these feelings will drown us if we push them out of sight
And we may lose tonight
But when we wake up it was just a shake-up, washed away by the morning light

Southern skies are calling me, calling me home
It keeps getting harder to breathe, breathe on my own
All that’s left is my name, but it’s beaten by the rain
So hold me close don’t let me go, take away the pain
Take away the pain..
