Joy Stops Time Lyrics by Fucked Up

Dose Your Dreams

2018

I watched you walk into the sea
You promised you’d come back to me
You looked back, I heard your voice
“Don’t let them break you down now Joyce”
They filled the skies with dollar signs
Disguised as angels singing lies
“Don’t throw away your life,” they said;
We knew exactly what they meant
The first thing that they do is break
Your heart and sell it back to you
You’re so afraid, and so you pay
And every day is yesterday
But love will make you feel alive
Remember what you have inside
Never sink, and never hide
They tried to break our dream but child –

Joy stops time

You had a thistle in your hair
The meadow waved, so sweet the air
There was a rush, it came so clear
The world was still, our hearts were bare
We were saved, I’m not afraid
What if tomorrow never came?
They lit their tanks, they stole the world
They found us hid in morning’s curl
They told us we were out of time, it was a lie, it was a lie
“Look me in my shining eye, I’ll never be like you!”, I cried
I want to feel your wind in mine, I want to touch the infinite
I want a life that I can taste, so put your arms around my waist
Take the needle, push it in, let’s stay inside the dream we’re in When you come to find me I’ll be where the flowers bloom and sing

Joy stops time

So I held you, you could be held again
So I saw you, you would be seen again
So I knew you, you can be known again
So I loved you, you will be loved again

You couldn’t sit there all alone
Afraid like all the rest who won’t
Do nothing with their lives but hope
That things would ever change, you know
You took my clothes, you held my mind
You broke the mask I hid behind
For all the walls built up inside
There was a door left open wide
Tomorrow lives inside your dreams
When you remember how to feel
Once I had a dream you see
But things aren’t always what they seem

Joy stops time

Joy
Stops
Time
Love
When
You
Reach
Out
For
My
Hand
And
Pull
Me
Close
