Lyrics

As I stepped up to your door
I saw the mess and the wild things on the floor
You could be asleep, I didn?t call ahead
Thought you?d never leave the safety of your feather bed

Oh it?s hard to lose and let it go
But I know there?s light somewhere inside of you
So tell me how I can bring you back
And mend the pieces of you scattered here

Cause I have one to ask you in my mind
And I have one to ask you all the time
Do you hear the raindrops hitting your roof
Hear them fall, hear their sound
They?ve come to wash away
The memories that bring you down

So get up and go, get up and go, get up and breathe with me
Get up and go, get up and go, get up and dance with me
Get up and go, get up and go, get up and be with me

There?s a stop and go to all we know
But does it all feel like it's sitting still
Oh the feather in your hand flew quicker than the sand
That is slowly slipping away

But I have one to ask you in my mind
And I have one to ask you all the time
Do you hear the raindrops hitting your roof
Hear them fall, hear their sound
They?ve come to wash away
The memories that bring you down

Cause you are so beautiful
And you are crumbling before me
You are so beautiful
If you can let this go
I swear you will be free

The night, it spoke in riddles
With a cadence true and slow
It asked of you to walk yourself away
From this dark and isolated Saturday

But I have one to ask you in my mind
And I have one to ask you all the time
Do you hear the raindrops hitting your roof
Hear them fall, hear their sound
They?ve come to wash away
The memories that bring you down

So get up and go, get up and go, get up and breathe with me
Get up and go, get up and go, get up and dance with me
Get up and go, get up and go, get up and breathe with me
