Lyrics of 'Again today' by Brandi Carlile

Broken sticks and broken stones
Will turn to dust just like our bones
It's words that hurt the most now isn't it
Are you sad inside, are you home alone
If I could just pick up the phone
Maybe you could see a better day
And you won't waste away
under my watchful eye
Because I'm your hero and you're my weakness

Who's gonna break my fall
When the spinning starts
The colors bleed together and fade
Was it ever there at all
Or have I lost my way
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again today

I'm broken down, not good enough
The broken promises add up
To twice their weight in tears which I have caused

I'm afraid to sink, I'm afraid to swim
I'm sad to say I miss my friends
I know that I'm supposed to step away

But they need me to stay and keep a watchful eye
On all my heroes and all their demons

But who's gonna break my fall
When the spinning starts
The colors bleed together and fade
Was it ever there at all
Or have I lost my way
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again
Not today
Not today

Was it ever there at all
And have I lost my way
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again today

Broken sticks and broken stones
Will turn to dust just like our bones again today
I'm broken down
Not good enough
The broken promises add up again today

Was it ever there at all
And have I lost my way
The path of least resistance
Is catching up with me again today
Again today

---

This is how the story went,
I met someone by accident,
And blew me away, and blew me away
It was in the darkest of my days,
When you took my sorrow,
When you took my pain,
And berried them away, and berried them away.

I wish I could lay down beside you when the day was gone,
And wake up to your face against the morning sun.
But like everything I've ever known you disappeared one day,
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away.

You drove me up at the train station; put a kiss on the top of my head
And watched me away, and watched me away;
Then you went on hold me a sky stripe as me on the lights of wining papers
That you call home, you call it home

I wish I could lay down beside you when the day was gone,
And wake up to your face against the morning sun.
But like everything I've ever known you disappeared one day,
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away.
Awayyyyyyyyyyy…

I woke up feeling heavy hearted,
I'm going back to where I started,
In the morning rain, in the morning rain.
Now, although I wish that you were near,
That same old road that brought me here
Is calling me home, it's calling me home,

I wish I could lay down beside you when the day was gone,
And wake up to your face against the morning sun.
But like everything I've ever known you disappeared one day,
So I spend my whole life hiding my heart away,
And I could spend my whole life hiding my heart away.
