lyrics

i’m just a little bit scared of something
i can’t hide but i can run
the taste of love still lingers on
even though the love is gone
keep the whistle but blow the horn
love the feeling love the form
rivers freeze but blood is warm
gather in here comes the storm
am i the worm wriggling through the ground soon to find the sun?

i’m just a man without much means
like to wear t-shirt and jeans
time for dinner eat my beans
too much oil not much cream
love the city but not the slums
see the world it’s overrun
see the buildings hide the sun
all the children have no fun
am i the worm wriggling through the ground soon to find the sun?

so long ago
could’ve been ok, i know
could’ve been ok, could’ve been ok, i know

yesterday i got some news
broken window girl abused
broken life no way home
got to stumble ever on
smiling with a broken face
eyes that shine through her disgrace
soon forgotten long misplaced
elbows out i’ll win this race
am i the worm wriggling through the ground soon to find the sun?

all i ever wanted was
a home to breathe and feel my loss
raise a garden green with love
feel the rain feel the mud
listen to the pouring rain
hear the windy window pane
maybe find a place to be
the roots that hold the weeping tree
am i the worm wriggling through the ground soon to find the sun

so long ago
could’ve been ok, i know
could’ve been ok, could’ve been ok, i know
