Whitest Boy Alive - Above You lyrics

rate me

In the battle for belonging<br />

Every doorbell has its code<br />

With a stare it can be opened<br />

Now you have it now you don't<br />

<br />

There are buildings there are people<br />

Walk around and look up to<br />

Every swallow has its season<br />

Every gallow has its noon<br />

<br />

By the rythm of your language<br />

By the sparkle in your stride<br />

Talk in riddles or be candid<br />

With a shield or open wide<br />

<br />

The lesson you must learn<br />

No one could ever teach<br />

Open up and reach for the stars<br />

<br />

Above you<br />

Above you<br />

<br />

If you have a way of knowing<br />

Every river can be crossed<br />

Lose the sparrow that had landed<br />

For the one that never was<br />

<br />

There's a song for every dreamer<br />

As they climb over this fence<br />

Trading roses for the real world<br />

As the second week commences<br />

<br />

Where no one has control<br />

Where the young clipse the old<br />

Predjudice and wisdom<br />

All the same<br />

<br />

I want you<br />

I want you
