Around Here - Hawksley Workman

Around here

We name the strays

We let them into our hearts

Give them a place to stay

Like jesus did

Or so we read

You gotta love everyone

Till you’re dead

And it’s what I’ve been telling you

All along

I want you know

I need you to know

And I know we’re both tired of making mistakes

And falling has become our middle name

I know we just want to be rescued some days

We don’t want to become some kind of broken clich

Around here

We keep on mssing up

We drag our egos around

In a beggar’s cup

Cuz we’ve all been taught

From such an early age

To build a wall around our hearts

So that thing will never break

And I know we’re both tired of making mistakes

And disaster has become our middle name

I know we just want to be resting some days

With the stolen eyes of love

That we carefully hide away

I remember what song was playing that day on the radio

As two speeding cars slow motion collide

We promised ourselves we’d never go silent again

We laid there for hours together and cried

And I know we’re both tired of making mistakes

And disaster has become our middle name

I know we just want to be rescued some days

With the stolen eyes of love

That we carefully hide away
