The Peace of Wild Things Lyrics

SUGAR
Under the eyelids
Under the eyelids
That’s where you’re hiding
That’s where you’re hiding

Like I’m a stranger
Signaling danger
But I’m a beggar
But I’m a beggar

Take me back
Take me home
You were right
All Along
You are where I belong

If there’s a sonnet
That makes you feel wanted
Then sugar I’m on it
Sugar I’m on it

A world in a world
A shell to a pearl
Is how I’ll protect you
I’ll always protect you

Take me back
Take me home
You were right
All Along
You are where I belong
Where I belong

All I am
All I am
I’ve given you all I am
Given you all I am
You are where I belong

If I’m the great sea
You’re what I’m reflecting
Blue in the evening
So blue in the evening

You hit like the lightning
A beauty so frightening
The Earth was dividing
The Earth was dividing

 

BETTER LIFE
All this trouble that I know
Every swing I take and stone I throw
All the bridges that I’ve burnt
All the new ways that I hurt

You gave up and I lost track
When you love someone who don’t love back
It don’t matter who’s at fault
Nothing matters now at all

I might have said too much
I might have said too much
I won’t forget your touch
I’m saying too much

A better life is waiting

And what is done is done
Piece together what’s been broken
Can you ever give up someone
A better life, a better life is waiting

All this fire in my veins
From a heart that’s trapped in my ribcage
Burning through my fingertips
Burning everything I kiss

All the memories that you live in
Are just another door that I’m closing
In a hall that’s infinite
But at least I can admit it

I might have said too much
I might have said too much
I won’t forget your touch
I’m saying too much

A better life is waiting

And what is done is done
Piece together what’s been broken
Can you ever give up someone
A better life, a better life is waiting

Oh, I know.
I’m saying too much.
