"Same Broken Bones" lyrics
"Same Broken Bones"
Somebody's waiting for me
There's an answer that I have been chasing
Always a change in my hometown to see
I'm running so fast
Who am I racing?
There's always something to do
But it don't fill the holes that it promises to
Now everything starts to move on its own
Carrying me too far away
Somebody's calling my phone
Begging for me to come home
Every town has the same broken bones
And loneliness
Does there have to be silence
To hear the truth?
I don't know that I'll find it
But I may know where to look
I am awake in the dark
Alone at the kitchen table
Taking the time to feel time passing by
Perfectly still
Perfectly here
Now everything starts to move
As if by some common magic
Shadows and sparrows and the very sky
Moving my heart
Standing me up
Someone is waiting for me
Somewhere apart from the part I can see
He never visits except in my dreams
Just out of reach
Gone but still close
