Quicksand Lyrics by Everly

2009

[Verse 1]
I like to say, I've made good use of my time while you've been away
And it's true, I've been at my piano every day thinking of you
They talk around, I hear them whisper
It's the funniest thing really, they think you're gone forever
I know the truth, It's just getting hard to believe it

[Pre-Chorus]
When they all tell me it's over
Even the stars are aligned and I

[Chorus]
I follow the signs so clearly, and still, I've fallen
The quicksand's pulling me down
I follow the signs so clearly, and still, they catch me
The quicksand's pulling me down

[Verse 2]
I'm not the same, I can't sleep nights
And now I'm calling your name when I do
And yet without you, they say I get on better, better, better

[Pre-Chorus]
When they all tell me It's over
I'll damn the gods until the stars are aligned and I

[Chorus]
I follow the signs so clearly, and still, I've fallen
The quicksand's pulling me down
I follow the signs so clearly, and still, they catch me
The quicksand's pulling me down

[Bridge]
Look at my life, and look at my face
Can't you see my heart bleeding down my sleeve
You're holding my hand and holding my heart
But I just want to feel your breath inside me so I can breathe
Somewhere in the distance, I catch a spark of grace
I hope it's something that makes me feel like I'm alive
It's never too soon, it's never too late
So I start screaming out
I see your face, I see your hand reaching down and I yell to you and I say

[Chorus]
I follow the signs so clearly, and still, I've fallen
The quicksand's pulling me down
I follow the signs so clearly, and still, they caught me
The quicksand's pulling me down
I follow the signs so clearly, and still, I've fallen
The quicksand's pulling me down
I know you can feel me rising, and I'm on fire
If you keep on pulling me out (Out)

[Outro]
Look at my life, and look at my face
And look where I've come to get to this place with you
Be here to sit and lay at your feet and rest in your arms
And listen to your heartbeat, ah, ah
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
