Needles & Pins

I woke up before the sun rose

Did my best to walk on tip toes

Needles and pins

'Cause if you heard the way I pace

Around this room your mind would race

For reasons and sins

I never learned to wear a tie then

Go to work and tell you lies like everything's ok

Though sometimes it is for a little while

And I can live in between those smiles

And patiently wait

When it feels like home where you can't be found

'Cause she haunts the alone and you need her now

Revered like gold in your plastic crown

When your kingdom falls and you lay it down

Before the next breath you need the grace

To breathe out

♪

I've been talking faster

I've been

Looking for distraction trying to loosen up some days

Ain't it funny how we can't remember

Most our lives while a few words never mercifully fade

So I beg you honey take some pictures

Frame them hang them high and let's set fire to the room

'Cause I think I like the lighting better when it's

Wrapped up in burning time like sweaters for your cold winter blue

When it feels like home where you can't be found

'Cause she haunts the alone and you need her now

Revered like gold in your plastic crown

When your kingdom falls and you lay it down

Before the next breath you need the grace

To breathe out

♪

Oh have I lost some keys in the dust

As I cleaned up

Oh don't it always seem to come

As you let go

When it feels like home where you can't be found

'Cause she haunts the alone and you need her now

Revered like gold in your plastic crown

When your kingdom falls and you lay it down

Before the next breath you need the grace

Before your next breath you need the grace

To breathe out
