Lyrics

Off in the distance something catches your eye
They bait and switch your laughter for your cry
You got burned the last time around
They had you looking at the sky while they were digging in the ground
You seem to lose your focus way up close
You’re can’t see the things that you need the most
And they’ve blown your intuition apart
Left you fumbling for a light somewhere in the dark
Oh, you’ve got to hold
What your heart knows
And don’t let go
Talking in circles with senators
Or they don’t recall whichever you prefer
They’re smiling nervously and biding time
So you keep your cards close and I’ll hide mine
We repeat ourselves but we don’t know what to do
We read our history books and see nothing new
But they can focus your gaze somewhere else
While they’re digging in the ground halfway to hell
Oh, you’ve got to hold
What your heart knows
And don’t let go
Until someone here turns the light on
Someone here turns the light on
All the eyes are searching around looking at us
And they’re wondering in which god that we trust
And it’s anything, everything that we lust
We invented it all and then went bust
Someone will come along with something new
They’ll feed you a line and they’ll swear it’s true
But you’ve still got a little good left in your heart
You want to trust again don’t know where to start
Oh, you’ve got to hold
What your heart knows
And don’t let go
Until someone here turns the light on
Someone here turns the light on
