Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am up with the sunrise
I'm tired and I think I want to go home
So let's go and get started
Do you hear me calling, crying out?
Well, I run up to the house
Catch me if you think you can
[Verse 2]
Oh, what a shame, 'cause I know
With open arms then I could hold it all
Oh, what a shame that I row
To the edges so that I can fall off, oh, oh
No one's to blame, but I know
With open arms then I could keep you close
Oh, what a shame that I row
To the edges so that I can fall off, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
I could be centered and in place
In a field full of poppies
I could dream you all away
But I know that I've got to get running
Do you hear that roaring, pulsing sound?
And I run up to the house
You can follow if you dare
[Verse 4]
Oh, what a shame, 'cause I know
With open arms then I could hold it all, oh
Oh, what a shame that I row
To the edges so that I can fall off, oh, oh
No one's to blame and I know it
With open arms that I could keep you close
Oh, what a shame that I row
To the edges so that I can fall off
[Verse 5]
But I'm not
But I'm not ready for this
[Verse 6]
But I'm not
But I'm not ready for this
[Verse 7]
Do you want it?
Do you want it to be true?
But I'm not
No, I'm not over the shame
Do you need it?
Do you need it to be true?
[Verse 8]
But I'm not
No, I'm not over the shame
Do you want it?
Do you want it to be true?
[Verse 9]
But I'm not
No, I'm not over the shame
Do you need it?
Do you need it to be true?
[Verse 10]
But I'm not
But I'm not ready for this
