Shelter Or The Storm

from Hearts In Need Of Repair by Sarah Morris

/

lyrics

Back and forth and forth and back I’m trying but I can’t keep track of where we’re going where we’ve been - Please slow down
My heart can’t take the rapid pace the way you seem to vacillate
You’re here, you’re there, you’re everywhere I’ve grown dizzy
Ohhhhh I could use a patch of solid ground
Ohhhhh something still to wrap my arms around

You’re pulling me dragging me under
Lightning crashes roar of thunder
Hands up, I surrender – Oh Oh Oh Oh
Wind is blowing, rain keeps pouring
Siren sings a useless warning
We both make it til the morning – oh oh oh oh
The sun rises and I can’t tell anymore if you’re the shelter or the storm

I’ve learned to sail the rougher seas and let the calm ones carry me
The brightest moon can still be swallowed by dark water
Ohhhhh I could use a patch of solid ground
Ohhhhh something still to wrap my arms around

You’re pulling me dragging me under
Lightning crashes roar of thunder
Hands up, I surrender – Oh Oh Oh Oh
Wind is blowing, rain keeps pouring
Siren sings a useless warning
We both make it til the morning – oh oh oh oh
The sun rises and I can’t tell anymore if you’re the shelter or the storm

Be the match baby I'm your flame
Ash to ash we all fall down the same
Be the match baby I'm your flame
Ash to ash we all fall down the same
The smoke clears and I can’t tell anymore….


You’re pulling me dragging me under
Lightning crashes roar of thunder
Hands up, I surrender – Oh Oh Oh Oh
Wind is blowing, rain keeps pouring
Siren sings a useless warning
We both make it til the morning – oh oh oh oh
The sun rises and I can’t tell anymore if you’re the shelter or the storm
