Broken Down

Here we are in a room full of sinners
We think we’re pros, but we’re only beginners
It’s alright babe, It’s alright babe
I’m only an amateur anyway

I realize now that we’re weak and we’re wounded
Had the vision of a lady til you stood up and ruined it
Your green eyes babe, your dark skin babe
Like a rain cloud everyday
Like a rain cloud everyday

And I know that you don’t ever wanna be

Broken down, you’re facing a wall
A siren made from a porcelain doll
You never answered, I never called
On you
A step in hope a step in a lie
A step in truth a step denied
To get you through the needle’s eye
It’s love

I’ll drop the guns if you drop your defences
At the crossroads now of past and present tenses
Facin’ forward babe
Lookin’ backward babe
Keep your eyes down on the ground

chorus

It’s a storm outside but don’t mind the weather
Hold onto me girl, we’re in this together
Big ideas babe, cuttin’ through the grey
Even standin’ out in the rain
Even standin’ out in the rain

chorus
