Lyrics
Reconcile
Verse 1:
Time keeps a watchful eye on the paths on which we tread, fragile footprints on the sand fall out of sight.
And this old soul is a cryin? a loud for a chance to rest his head, how can I feel left when all I feel is right.
Pre-Chorus:
And I wonder why, all the moments of my life, are plagued with empty promises and strife.
And her shallow ties keep my memories warm at night, In the cradle of her sighs that blind my eyes.
Chorus:
Never told you who I am
And I waited on the line
Flying high on borrowed wings,
Never sold you on a lie
But I promised you this sin,
And it burns me every time,
While it crawls beneath my skin,
And refuses to subside
Never get over again
Verse 2:
Saints pray for angels wings like the desert prays for rain,
While I pray for the strength to reconcile,
With all the strands of impossible I created with your pain, where do I begin
God knows it?s been a while.
Pre Chorus:
So I stare outside through the windows of my life, and watch the tides of change begin to rise. As I say goodbye to the pain and to her cries, And feel the wind beneath me one last time.
Chorus:
Never told you who I am
And I waited on the line
Flying high on borrowed wings,
Never sold you on a lie
But I promised you this sin,
And it burns me every time,
While it crawls beneath my skin
And refuses to subside
Never get over again.
Solo
Chorus:
Never told you who I am
And I waited on the line
Flying high on borrowed wings,
Never sold you on a lie
But I promised you this sin,
And it burns me every time,
While it crawls beneath my skin
Outro:
You hide your eyes in accord/a chord you don?t listen to yourself
You hide your eyes in accord/a chord you don?t listen to yourself
Never get over again
