Story of an Immigrant Live by Civil Twilight Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What am I to build
If my hands are broken?
If I'm not the chosen one
What am I to build?
[Verse 2]
Where is my heart beating?
Somewhere under that water?
If I drive will I get over
Or will I join the deep?
[Chorus]
So, I'll burst and turn and dance the life that is eternal
And the words form their meaning
Change their feeling
Like a first born ready to begin
Ready to begin
[Verse 2]
All of my possessions
They're lying on the backseat
I tidy and I clean but it's never neat
Such is my life
[Chorus]
So, I'll burst and turn
And dance the life that is eternal
And the words form their meaning;
Change their feeling
Like a first born
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
[Post-Chorus]
Just one step, just one step
Just one step, just one step
[Bridge]
Let the frozen carry me
Over water to the free;
Where the other half begins;
Where she waits for me
Let the frozen carry me
Over water to the free;
Where the other half begins;
Where she waits for me
[Outro]
I'm ready to begin
What am I to build
If my hands are broken?
If I'm not the chosen one
What am I to build?
[Verse 2]
Where is my heart beating?
Somewhere under that water?
If I drive will I get over
Or will I join the deep?
[Chorus]
So, I'll burst and turn and dance the life that is eternal
And the words form their meaning
Change their feeling
Like a first born ready to begin
Ready to begin
[Verse 2]
All of my possessions
They're lying on the backseat
I tidy and I clean but it's never neat
Such is my life
[Chorus]
So, I'll burst and turn
And dance the life that is eternal
And the words form their meaning;
Change their feeling
Like a first born
Ready to begin
Ready to begin
[Post-Chorus]
Just one step, just one step
Just one step, just one step
[Bridge]
Let the frozen carry me
Over water to the free;
Where the other half begins;
Where she waits for me
Let the frozen carry me
Over water to the free;
Where the other half begins;
Where she waits for me
[Outro]
I'm ready to begin
