You Came Along Lyrics

Joel Plaskett Emergency You Came Along

True love is sharper than stones and sticks
Louder than bombs and clocks that tick
I feel as deep as the ocean blue
When I’m standing here with you
And the world keeps spinning faster
What am I to do
In the face of a disaster?
I’ve been here before
But I don’t know what comes after
The night’s a lonely place to be
When the lights go out I want you here with me

When I could not trust myself
I put my trust in someone else
But she led me astray
And then she went away
All my lessons learned
After all my bridges burned
Everything felt wrong
Until you came along

It’s quicker than sand, it’s thicker than blood
It’s like the slight of the hand, the stick in the mud
It’s as deep as the ocean blue
What am I supposed to do
Now that all your fire’s gone?
How do you want me to play along?
I know it’s true, somewhere we went wrong
The night’s a lonely place to be
When the lights go out, I want some company

When I could not trust myself
I put my trust in someone else
But she led me astray
And then she went away
All my lessons learned
After all my bridges burned
Everything felt wrong
Until you came along
