Your Own Story

from Crossroads EP by The Shrugs

/

lyrics

Pull down the window, send shut the blinds
This is the way we live black and white lives
So shut the curtains, turn out the lights
This is the way that we've learned to survive

But right now I know that there's more to be told
Than dark rooms and echoes, and night's long and cold
Something to reach for, something to feel
More than just words let this song cut a deal

[Chorus 1]
Breath with me I'll pull you above the waves
Walk with me I'll show you places and names
Sing with me I'll give you words of your own
To tell your own story and never let go

Blunt down those blades dear, dry up the tears
We'll wrap up your arms and cover your fears
Just close your eyes now, listen in clear
These are the words that you still need to hear

[Chorus 2]
Jump from that sinking ship reach for this line
Fight through the storm girl don't lie down and die
The world is worth more than just nickles and dimes
Every day counts and now I'll tell you why
Breath with me I'll pull you above the waves
Walk with me I'll show you places and names
Sing with me I'll give you words of your own
To tell your own story and never let go
