Lyrics
East of Eden
Verse 1
Do you know I'll never leave?
Do you know I won't deceive?
Pick your head up off your shoulders
and smile a tear stained smile.
Do you believe?
Will you cut me when I'm dirty?
Will you bathe me in the truth?
State your name out loud and claim the reasons
why you captured me.
Do you believe?
Chorus
It's alright. I'm okay. Finding reasons.
Stone my eyes touch my face.
Feel me breathing.
Can this high take away the things that I should say?
In this doubt we find our way...East of Eden.
We'll find our way.
Verse 2
Can we talk about this later?
I cannot believe it's through.
Lay there in the moonlight.
Give me time. My memory captures you.
Do you believe?
Chorus
We'll find our way now.
Guitar solo
Chorus
We're east of Eden...
We're east of Eden...
