Providence Lyrics by The Temper Trap

Thick As Thieves

2016

[Verse 1]
I'm all alone
Standing with my back to where I'm from
Feeling like my feet are made of stone
Desolation sinking in my bones
Down on the ground
I can see a trace of who I was
Underneath a hundred miles of dust
Everything I love will turn to rust
We were just hunters in the wilderness
Bound by our hunger to be more than what we are
In our blood runs a hope in all of us
The only part that still belongs

[Pre-Chorus]
Caught in a storm
In the shadows of our innocence
Darkest state of providence
If you find me
Will you pull me out?

[Chorus]
In the shadows of our innocence
Darkest state of providence
If you find me
Will you pull me out?

[Verse 2]
Days will go on
We all want a story to be told
Living in a world that's bought and sold
Every day we pray in vain for gold
Where is my head
Who will come and save me from myself
Running through a field of burning beds
Looking in my soul to find some rest
We were just hunters in the wilderness
Bound by our hunger to be more than what we are
In our blood runs a hope in all of us
The only part that still belongs

[Pre-Chorus]
Caught in a storm
In the shadows of our innocence
Darkest state of providence
If you find me
Will you pull me out?

[Chorus]
In the shadows of our innocence
Darkest state of providence
If you find me
Will you pull me out?

We were just hunters in the wilderness...

(Will you find me and pull me out?)
If you find me, will you pull me out?
