Tug Of War - Nikka Costa

There are times in our lives

When our hearts fear our minds

We can’t afford to ignore

What our hearts are beating for

My soul wants to go one way

But my heart and mind playing a tug of war with me baby

My soul wants to go one way

But my heart and mind playing a tug of war with me baby

Cut to the truth and watch it bleed

And in the wounds just what we need

It’s everywhere if we dare

To trust the fall to lead you there

Let me out of this cage

I’m begging for mercy I’m being your slave

What do you want me to see, my eyes are inflamed

With the rage that’s among us when we come of age

There’s nothing I don’t know, just hasn’t come to me yet

We’re only trying to remember what we chose to forget

Everybody’s a child that is open and free

If we can trust ourselves to be indiscreet

With our love
