Us And Ours

(album: The Art Of Doing Nothing - 2013)

Gold hearts breaking into peace
And love your singing hallelujah
Earth won't fall but the mountain's gonna shake
Are we dancing in the waves tonight

Speed lights shooting in the corners
Of our simple little minds
We're falling like birds from the open sky
Are we heading for the big fire

You said don't, don't waste your time on my eyes
'Cause they've got broken sights and holes and tears that hide away

You said please don't ask me for the last word
The silence starts in full swing
We're listening 'cause a body that hurts is a body worth moving

Oh oh oh oh oh
Us and ours
Oh oh oh oh oh
It's gonna be a bright day someday afternoon
In this whole house you said it

Oh oh oh oh oh
Us and ours
Oh oh oh oh oh
Gonna ride those highs and lows all flesh and bone
The sun will set and we'll all start dreaming

Hopes of the promise that I held on my tongue
Lost along the way
It's hard to lose anything that you never have
Might love the time we make

These days getting something out of your faith
Wrap the words around it
The jury's out on the perfect sentence never to be heard again

You said don't don't count your blessings too much
You make them less in size
And feel until they've gone away ooh

You said hold me
But please don't hold too tightly
We've still got lots of lines to fill
And holes to fill and a body that hurts is a body worth moving

Oh oh oh oh oh
Us and ours
Oh oh oh oh oh
It's gonna be a bright day someday afternoon
In this whole house you said it

Oh oh oh oh oh
Us and ours
Oh oh oh oh oh
Gonna ride those highs and lows all flesh and bone
The sun will set and we'll all start dreaming

Oh oh oh oh oh
Us and ours
Oh oh oh oh oh
It's gonna be a bright day someday afternoon
In this whole house you said it

Oh oh oh oh oh
Us and ours
Oh oh oh oh oh
Gonna ride those highs and lows all flesh and bone
The sun will set and we'll all start dreaming
