Bonnie McKee - Marble Steps lyrics

rate me

I climb the marble stairs that lead away

Away from everything I used to know

I try to keep my eyes down on the way

The way my mother told me not to go

Well, all I ever wanted was a hand to hold me down

To keep the sky from swallowing me up

And all I ever needed was someone to come around

And tell me that I've suffered long enough

So take me away

Find me a home

I'm on my way

I'm on my wayyeah

I wonder when I'll see the stars again

I thought that they had faded long ago

Another step I'm closer to the end

I'm climbing cause I don't know where to go

Well, all I ever wanted was a place to store my faith

I thought that I could keep it locked away

It burns my eyes to look at him and see the truth inside

And so I turned my broken face away

So take me away

Find me a home

I'm on my way

I'm on my wayyeah

I always dreamed of Sundays, together with you

Only your echoes can break my heart

I need a hand to hold me, to keep me on there

I fear I'm drifting too far apart

Well, all I ever wanted was a hand to hold me down

To keep the sky from swallowing me up

And all I ever needed was someone to come around

And tell me that I've suffered long enough

Oh take me away

Find me a home

I'm on my way

I'm on my wayyeah

I'm on my wayyeah

I'm on my wayyeah

I'm on my wayyeah

You know I'm gone

I'm gone

I'm on my wayyeah
