Softspoken The Road
Burned to ashes - all the world is gone
Love put a gun to her head
Darkened clouds blocking out the sun
Thinking now on things unsaid
Afloat in my own head
And now she rests
I'm holding pieces of the love that's left
I won't lose hope again
Telling him to mind his step
As I try to stay afloat in my own head
We carry the fire, but my legs are weak
My body is tired
How can I save my love?
Daylight falls - we await the dawn
Follow the road to the sea
Love gave up, said she can't go on
“Two clicks” she says “will set us free.”
In my dreams she's calling me
And now she rests
I'm holding pieces of the love that's left
I won't lose hope again
Telling him to mind his step
As I try to stay afloat in my own head
In my dreams she's calling me
“Baby just stay asleep, you don't have to leave!”
Drowning in my thoughts again
Afloat in my own head
And now she rests
I'm holding pieces of the love that's left
I won't lose hope again
Telling him to mind his step
As I try to stay afloat in my own head
We carry the fire, but my legs are weak
My body is tired
How can I save my love?
You carry the fire
Keep it in your heart
Let it burn so bright wherever you are
Afloat in my own head
