Underneath the Petal - The Joy Formidable

Underneath the petal I lay down

Call myself a shadow fall over a cloud

All of these things that pull you away

All of these things that make you change

I’ll play you a song as sweet as can be

Those notes in the dark are for you and me

Another day has still hours that make me yours

Before the sky gets flooded, darkness falls

Why does this bad blood flow at the end

Surprises like oil and then sits on a bend

Makes me think you’re standing in my light

It’s hard feeling beaten when your heart’s become silent

Underneath the petal it’s all mine

That search for something more

Well it’s already in the storm

We’ll be all right now

We’ll be all right now

We’ve got our own way

Oh we’ve got our own way

And it plays around, plays around, plays around

Like thunder on a clear day

Underneath the promise I fell down

You looked so much happier than you do right now

Those drowning eyes won’t carry me

That stranger’s way will make me leave

Underneath the petal it’s all fun

Underneath the petal it’s all mine

Come in and look around I’m going back

Crossing off what’s in front of me

I’ll stay here as the world come the shakes
