Coffee Cups

(album: Only Sparrows - 2011)

I've been stepping on cracks just to see what'll happen
Just daring that dam to break
And the shards of glass hold a million faces

Dark clouds that collect at the top of the buildings
Get the feeling of judgement day
And it's lucky I don't believe in such things
Or I'll probably be down on my knees

Oh, sometimes we feel the train coming
But we don't move out of the way
If you stay then I'll stay

And the worst that I've felt was a longing for feeling
To be done with this numbing noise
To be done with the silence of servitude

And I never wanna seem like I'm not moving
I'm never waiting for no paint to dry
And I never wanted you to see me just standing
Never wanted to seem still in your eyes

Oh, sometimes we feel the train coming
But we don't move out of the way
If you stay then I'll stay

When you see the ones that you love
At the bottom of your coffee cup
And the city that you're from makes a stranger of you
Then you know you've been away too long
