Eyes Shut by Emma Beckett Lyrics
Thrashing around in dream filled hallways
My bleeding fists pounding at the walls
From which the pictures of you hang
Those faded portraits, painted every one from memory
Sun on my back, the sand in my shoes
Closer to death now than I ever was to you
Like the ocean's hold on the beach, I reach
But time slaps my hand away
It's a funny feeling, it's a funny feeling
Can you hear me honey? Can you hear me pleading?
I can't tell where the horizon lies
A premonition, or a neighbour in disguise
You can't hold onto someone who is gone
You were taken by the dawn
I realize my eyes may have been shut
But I still swear I could see that kaleidoscope sky above you
But your smile's getting hazier with every step I take
I learned to recognize your hair from behind
You were always one step ahead of me but I'm starting to find
You sorted everything into what you could take
And what you couldn't
Just tell me, which list did you put me on?
It's a funny feeling, it's a funny feeling
Can you hear me honey? Can you hear me pleading?
I can't tell where the horizon lies
A premonition, or a neighbour in disguise
You can't hold onto someone who is gone
You were taken by the dawn
I'm chasing you now
I'm chasing you now, but it's no use
I'm chasing you now
I woke up and I can't get back but what's your excuse?
And I'm chasing you now
But I'm starting not to know how
And I'm chasing you now
And I'm chasing you now
It's a funny feeling, it's a funny feeling
Can you hear me honey? Can you hear me pleading?
I can't tell where the horizon lies
A premonition, or a neighbour in disguise
You can't hold onto someone who is gone
You were taken by the dawn
You can't hold onto someone who is gone
You were taken by the dawn
My bleeding fists pounding at the walls
From which the pictures of you hang
Those faded portraits, painted every one from memory
Sun on my back, the sand in my shoes
Closer to death now than I ever was to you
Like the ocean's hold on the beach, I reach
But time slaps my hand away
It's a funny feeling, it's a funny feeling
Can you hear me honey? Can you hear me pleading?
I can't tell where the horizon lies
A premonition, or a neighbour in disguise
You can't hold onto someone who is gone
You were taken by the dawn
I realize my eyes may have been shut
But I still swear I could see that kaleidoscope sky above you
But your smile's getting hazier with every step I take
I learned to recognize your hair from behind
You were always one step ahead of me but I'm starting to find
You sorted everything into what you could take
And what you couldn't
Just tell me, which list did you put me on?
It's a funny feeling, it's a funny feeling
Can you hear me honey? Can you hear me pleading?
I can't tell where the horizon lies
A premonition, or a neighbour in disguise
You can't hold onto someone who is gone
You were taken by the dawn
I'm chasing you now
I'm chasing you now, but it's no use
I'm chasing you now
I woke up and I can't get back but what's your excuse?
And I'm chasing you now
But I'm starting not to know how
And I'm chasing you now
And I'm chasing you now
It's a funny feeling, it's a funny feeling
Can you hear me honey? Can you hear me pleading?
I can't tell where the horizon lies
A premonition, or a neighbour in disguise
You can't hold onto someone who is gone
You were taken by the dawn
You can't hold onto someone who is gone
You were taken by the dawn
