Confess Lyrics by Jack River

Sugar Mountain (Deluxe)

2018

[Verse 1]
I was stronger that night
I wanted to go alone
The rain was coming down
And nobody could leave, we stayed around
I said things I knew you'd like
Alaska and the bears
You knew you couldn't fight
Swimming underneath the Northern Lights

[Pre Chorus]
You didn't know it
But I had you in the palm of my hand
Palm of my hand

[Chorus]
I confess I needed you there
I've gone through every memory we shared tonight
And I don't have the guts to carry on without you
When the storm breaks through, I'll be standing there
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you

[Verse 2]
I can dream away your life
Hitch hike to the southern tip of Africa
And put up all the fences that you like
But I can't sing you to sleep there
You're on your own there
You're on your own

[Pre Chorus]
I didn't know it
I thought I had you in the palm of my hand
Palm of my hand

[Chorus]
I confess I needed you there
I've gone through every memory we shared tonight
And I don't have the guts to carry on without you
When the storm breaks through, I'll be standing there
Waiting for you

[Bridge]
Take me down, love me in the avenue
It'll never be what you want it to
Was it like this with her?
Is it everything you dreamed of?

[Pre-Chorus]
I, I, I thought I had you in the palm of my hand
Palm of my hand

[Chorus]
I confess I needed you there
I've gone through every memory we shared tonight
And I don't have the guts to carry on without you
When the storm breaks through, I'll be standing there
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you

[Outro]
Are you ready? Tell me when you want to go
Are you ready? Tell me when you want to go
