Kimbra - Sally I Can See You lyrics

rate me

There’s a heartbeat in the distance

A flicker of light ahead

I’ve been down the street, where the offer good deals

I’m shaking hands with the man who says he’ll give me my dreams

Reaching up for a taste from my hand it feels

Feeling grown from whisper, to a shout and a fist in the air

I could smell the fire from miles away,

But I was always going to run after the chase

I didn’t leave you, I just went my way

I know I’ve been here before

It must have been years or more

Like the first the day that I got off of the plane

And nobody cared to know of my name

I think I’ve been here

Sally I can see you, I’m not the girl I once used to be

I grown out of my own muse

But my heart it hasn't changed

Sally I can see you, you’re not the girl you once used to be

I don’t know how I got here

But my heart it hasn't changed

There’s a melody I’m missing

But your song travels out to me still

Like the eyes of the dusk in the hot of the glow

But I was always going to run after the storm

I didn't leave you, I just lept out from the shore.

Ooo. It's not like it was before.

My head is short and my jeans are tight.

Time passed in the night time over my head

Suddenly, I'm in the sea, and I'm unprepared

I wish you'd been here.

Sally I can see you, I’m not the girl I once used to be

I feel so light and naive

In my heart, it has no sense

Sally I can see you, you’re not the girl you once used to be

I don’t know how I got here

But my heart it hasn't changed

I let go of your hand, I knew our time was measured

I sailed out to foreighn lands, just to fly together

There’s a child that I left in the town I treasure

I’m running fast but I’m not running away

Sally I can see you, I’m not the girl I was

I don't know how I got here.

Sally I can see you, I’m not the girl I once used to be

I feel so light and naive

In my heart, it hasn't changed

Sally I can see you, you’re not the girl you once used to be

I don’t know how I got here

But my heart has changed.
