Lincoln City Lyrics

I plead dont wake me up
leave my head in the clouds
as the world slips through my fingers
I cant remember being whole before
I wouldnt wish this on my enemies
and in the aftermath my eyes will see
father dont blame yourself anymore
its over forgive and let it be

I felt myself let go
and struggled just to breathe
my worst fears paralyzed me
give me back one more day

I'll stand with the ocean at my knees
and let the wind fingerprint me
I can feel your arms around me
I know you'll always be there
the nights so endless with shame
those thoughts I dont want to remember
you know I built this temple for you
dont burn it until you are ready

you gave me strength to hold the world
but I couldnt hold myself together
now that day is far behind me
but in my heart you'll live forever

Ive stood in the cold so many nights
and let the rains baptise me
If you stare right into the clouds
Youll steal me in serenity
everyday before I put my head to sleep
We're on the beach in lincoln city

After the dust had cleared
I saw that you had never left me
Just as lost as I was that year
No one would ever take me

when I look into the crowd every night
I watch, I watch you sing every word
