Feet Of Clay

(альбом: The Beginning And The End Of Everything - 2013)

I don't ever want to be seen by you
To be a man with feet of clay

In the moment that I met you
I felt all of my dread just roll away

But like a pin in the wheel we spin
And all of them fears roll around again
Look at me now, oh what a state I'm in

I don't wanna be a dog in the manger
Lapping this up only to complain

Sometimes I know I must strike you as a stranger
Sad and unsteady on my feet of clay

But like a pin in the wheel I spin
Seasonal change and prevailing winds
Come along and blow my house in
So how can I stand on my feet of clay

All my life I've been looking for a feeling
But when I find it I get scared I feel it leaving
But if you tell me this will stay then I believe it
'Cause I don't want to let this go
But every time the feeling starts to fade
I start walking on my feet of clay

I don't want to spend our whole life together
Peaking and troughing like a cold sine wave
But it's hard to prove that I control the weather
With all of them clouds laughing in my face

But like a pin in the wheel we spin
And all of them fears roll around again
Look at me know, oh what a state I'm in
So how can I walk on my feet of clay

So tell me how sweetly
Count the ways
And all of your fears will roll away

And how you complete me
I can't say
But you put that steel
To my feet of clay
