Mat Kearney - Down lyrics

rate me

It took his breath away holding the bank page

He got the letter they're gonna take their house away

I'm bout to have a daughter he yells it in the air

Felling the weight of a world that just don't care

He lit a cigarette felt it on his lip

Driving home on a long road with regret

He pull's the window down shout's it out loud

Pushing the pedal and praying lord help us now

He's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down

Can you here when we call

There where we fall

Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs hallelujah

Where pain and love bleed into one

Baby when all you see is darkness

It's coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Coming round now

It was monday night under the street lights

She's turing seventeen in seven nights

Out on the fairgrounds walking in mono tone

She kicks a bottle as empty as her soul

On the road alone in a house that's half a home

They give her pills just to kill when she feels alone

She's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down

Can you here when we call

There where we fall

Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs hallelujah

Where pain and love bleed into one

Baby when all you see is darkness

It's coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Coming round now

Take these broken streets

Take these broken dreams

Hold my hand like we we're walking free

Tell me it will change I see it in your face

The hope the fear the love the faith

I'm working late again slaving to make the rent

I'm slanging coffee with dreams heavy as cement

They're coming one by one the face of falling love

I write a song with a prayer as I slide the cups

Can you hear when we call

There where we fall

Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs hallelujah

Where pain and love bleed into one

Baby when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Can you hear when we call

There were we fall

Standing our backs against the wall

At the Top of our lungs how far we've come

Were pain and love bleed into one

All that we need it's so bitter sweet

The pain that opens our eyes to see

Baby when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Coming round now
