  • Well, I, feels like a place I've never been
    And, I, feels like a place I've never seen

    Oh, somebody's givin' in but I'm not
    Somebody's giving it but I'm not
    Somebody's giving it a lifetime
    Somebody threw you a lifeline

    Somebody wakes to the sun in the sky
    Others are livin' with hate in their eyes

    Oh, the fires that you made and the earth that you walk
    The ground beneath and the words that you talk
    The fires that we own and the words that we talk
    The ground beneath and the earth that we walk
    All gone

    And yeah, there are pictures of the sun

    And yeah, just like sketches of the sun
    The color's run

    Somebody's givin' in but I'm not
    Somebody's giving up a whole lot
    Somebody's giving it a long time
    Somebody threw me a lifeline
    Sometimes it's hard to see things straight
    Trying to make sense of a single page
    Sometimes you seem to spend your life tryin'
    But I'm just looking for my lifeline
    The fires that you made and the earth that you walk
    The soil beneath and the words that you talk
    The fires that we own and the words that we talk
    The ground beneath and the earth that we walk
    The earth that we walk, gone
    All, gone

    Our, it feels like a place I've never been Writer/s: ANDY WILLIAMS, JEZ WILLIAMS, JIMI GOODWIN
