Lyrics

Verse 1 I was born on a blue thing spinning in the dark with a mind full of wonder and an ambitious heart I learned how to hunger I learned how to bruise I learned that the morning can bring terrible news Still, there were moments I wanted to freeze bare feet in the summer mud on our knees People I love with their hands full of time I need them to shield it As I will shield mine Pre-Chorus This is my home This is my name I don’t want forever if nothing’s the same This is my body This is my flame I don’t want to be endless if love has to change Chorus Don’t make me a star if I can’t touch the ground Don’t send me forever without the ones I found I don’t want silence I don’t want more I want to be human And nothing more Let me carry their faces Let me carry their names Let me carry the laughter the anger, the shame If there’s another world if there’s some unknown don’t let me wake there At least not alone Post-Chorus / Vocal Hook Alone, alone don’t let me go alone Alone, alone don’t make me go alone Oh-oh, oh-oh with my hands full of home Oh-oh, oh-oh don’t make me go alone ⸻ Verse 2 This beautiful planet with its life and its death laughter at tables and one final breath February sadness traffic at five a body can fail you and still want to survive I cursed at the weather I wasted my days I begged for a doorway out of my cage Now the moon is a warning Now the night is a door Every boring hour is something I’d beg for Pre-Chorus 2 What is a soul with no dirt on its feet? What is forever with no pulse underneath? This is my blood This is my grief I don’t want heaven if I cannot breathe
