Momentum Lyrics by Arliss Nancy

Greater Divides

2016

I had a feeling
That my life had lost the sum of its momentum
And I was at the tail end winding down
Then I get to thinking about the friends that I’ve lost
And the bridges I’ve burned just to get here
I was kicking at some coals that ain't gone out
But the night that we sweated out into the street
With the heaviest snow falling down on my feet
I know I got myself into this
But I don’t see myself getting out alive
'cause If it happened once there’s
Bound to be another one
I don’t need to say
How I need you in the worst way
I need you in the worst way
Like your dim lit alley
Needs your cigarettes in the rain
Burning and waiting for the curtain to fall
I know, she said, “I’ve been holding this weight”
She wouldn’t look me in the eye
We broke slow over the night
I couldn’t set that story straight
I wish I could say that it wasn’t my fault
I got too good at being gone out singing former lovers’ songs
I saw the writing on her wall
But that night that we
When we waded out into the sea
And we washed these sins off of me
And now I don’t see myself getting out alive
'cause If it happens once
There’s bound to be another one
I don’t need to say
How I need you in the worst way
So Maria won’t you dance a little longer?
Pour your drink a little stronger
Let it calm you down
Let a strong drink calm you down
Let it calm you down
I’ll hold up the losing end
Until they lay me in the ground
And god rest my bones
But if left alone
I know they’re going to dig until
They find their way back home
Over the rivers, and the fields full of snow
Over the mountain pass in the Colorado cold
