Orpheus - Sara Bareilles

Come by the fire, lay down your head

My love, I see you’re growing tired

So set the bad day by the bed

And rest a while, your eyes can close

You don’t have to do a thing but listen to me sing

I know you miss the world, the one you knew

The one where everything made sense

Because you didn’t know the truth, that’s how it works

'Til the bottom drops out and we learn

We’re all just hunters seeking solid ground

Don’t stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos

Though I know it’s blinding there’s a way out

Say out loud, we will not give up on love now

No fear, don’t you turn like Orpheus, just stay here

Hold me in the dark and when the day appears

We’ll say we did not give up on love today

I’ll show you good, restore your faith

I’ll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place

Convince you, love, don’t breathe it in

You were written in the stars that we are swimming in

And it has no name, no guarantee

It’s just the promise of a day I know that some may never see

But that’s enough, if the bottom drops out

I hope my love was someone else’s solid ground

Don’t stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos

Though I know it’s blinding there’s a way out

Say out loud, we will not give up on love now

No fear, don’t you turn like Orpheus, just stay here

Hold me in the dark and when the day appears

We’ll say we did not give up on love today

We’ll say we did not give up on love today
