lyrics

i long for you to rescue me
pull me out of scorched debris
i call for you you can't hear me
from all the way beneath
too strong for you to clear the way
too far for you to reach my hand
you run for help but no one comes
i know you've done all you can

sleep tight, sleep until the sun rises dream sweet
don't believe the things they tell you don't believe that you can fly
please, please just surrender don't get caught
trying to pretend you're stronger than you really are

blue skies ahead keep calling out
not far from here we'll stop for now
make peace make plans to conquer more
to cross divide to end the war

sleep tight, sleep until the sun rises dream sweet
don't believe the things they tell you don't believe that you can fly
please, please just surrender don't get caught
trying to pretend you're stronger than you really are

hopelessly i tried to hold on to everything
i tried to grasp on to anything
i would've settled for emptiness
just to say i had found something
to live for and to bring me peace
i could've set my heart on a string
to dangle and to catch the wind
just to say i had found something
to live for now

Their lush sound of strings and Carranza’s Eno-esque atmosphere give Rouse’s emotionally charged lyrics a fitting place to come to hit home. ... more
