Week 16 - Help Me Off The Floor (04​-​19​-​18)

from Song A Week, Volume 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Lights are low in the harbor now
Today feels like a dream
All alone as the distant sounds
Fill my mind like laser beams

Time is still like the icicles
So bright beneath the stars
Let it all fall away as they
Guide my feet to where you are

But I don’t really feel like talking
And I don’t wanna’ tell you why
Cuz anytime I catch your glances
I see forever in your eyes

The difference in between this moment
And everything I knew before
Extraordinary don’t describe it
You’re everything I need and more

So help me off the floor
So help me off the floor
You’re all I need and more
So help me off the floor

Holding on by a thread tonight
To what I can’t describe
All I know is you took my heart
And broke it open wide

Take my fear take my doubt as well
And take me with you please
Light a flare and let it split the sky
Either side of you and me

But I don’t really feel like talking
And I don’t wanna’ tell you why
Cuz anytime I catch your glances
I see forever in your eyes

The difference in between this moment
And everything I knew before
Extraordinary don’t describe it
You’re everything I need and more

So help me off the floor
So help me off the floor
You’re all I need and more
So help me off the floor

You’re the northern lights the jet stream overhead
A map of where I wanna’ be
So let’s ignite the sky with blue and green and red
The brightest sparks I’ll ever see
