Jordan White - Heads Up lyrics

rate me

Where's this color come from

Of that that's already been

A black eye that lasts forever

Bruises deeper than the skin

These moments so distilled

That are etched and sink like stones

Like particles of pain and pleasure

Troubled water to take you home

And there it goes, another day down

Yesterday I felt so light

Tomorrow I think I'll drown

My body set on fire

Frozen in time and unmasked

Let he who turns down the wine

Have the first stone to cast

Now I'm far from hopeless

Cause I watched the planes crash on down

Put a flag out on my doorstep

Before I saw 'em all over town

Here's a little tip toward oblivion

For you and your things lost

Believe in something bigger

It comes at quite a cost

Here's a heads up

For those like you and me

Who press back on gravity

Until gravity lets us be

So I never heard the truth

'Til I heard it in his song

And I never saw the buildings

'Til I saw that they were gone

And here's a heads up

For those who hang their heads low

Don't break yourself to pieces

Before you even know

Here's a heads up

For blue skies choked with ash

For highways closed

For stocks that crash

Heads up, for those who hang their heads so low

Heads up
