Weathervane

from A Picture Fading by Starters

lyrics

CUT OUT FROM THE HEART OF THE CITY
WASTING YOUR LIFE LOOKING FOR PITY, BUT IT’S UP TO YOU
YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN WAY
NO ONE BUT YOU IS GONNA SAVE YOU
FROM THE GHOSTS THAT WILL ALWAYS HAUNT YOU
THE PAST INFORMS US BUT YOU CAN’T LET IT DRAG YOU DOWN

YOU’RE IN A PLACE WHERE I HAVE STOOD
AND I STAND BESIDE YOU EVEN NOW
WITH A MILLION IMPULSES IN TOW
I KNOW YOU THINK YOU’RE ALONE
BUT IF YOU’D ONLY TALK TO ME
I’D TELL YOU HOW IT CHANGES
AND HOW IT BECOMES SO CLEAR
THIS IS SOMETHING I UNDERSTAND ONLY TOO WELL

THEY’RE A CONSTANT WEATHERVANE POINTING YOU SOUTH
YOU’RE SCREAMING I WON’T BE THERE IF YOU’RE NOT
BUT YOU CAN’T FIND HAPPINESS
IF ALL YOU EVER DO IS LOSE IT

AND YOUR HEARTLESS FAMILY IS DRAGGING YOU DOWN
SCREAMING YOU’LL NEVER GET FAR ENOUGH AWAY FROM THIS TOWN
AND THEY WON’T BUY INTO IT
IF ALL YOU’VE EVER LEARNED IS USELESS

JUST TRY, MAKE BELIEVE THAT YOU’RE SAFE FOR ONE NIGHT
AS YOU’RE STRUGGLING TOWARDS THE FIRST LIGHT
WE ALL KNOW JUST WHAT WE CAN ALL HANDLE

AM I WHAT YOU NEED TO FEEL SAFE AND ALIVE?
AS YOU’RE WONDERING WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
TO BE ABLE TO SEE ALL THE ANGLES

THERE’S A HOLE THAT’S SETTLING DEEP IN MY HEART
I’M SCREAMING IT WON’T BE THERE IF YOU’RE NOT
NO I CAN’T FIND HAPPINESS IF ALL I EVER DO IS LOSE YOU

AND YOUR CONSTANT APATHY WON’T GET YOU FAR
LIKE THE CLOUDS IN THE SKY SOMETIMES BLOCK OUT THE STARS
AND I CAN’T DIE WONDERING IF EVERYTHING I DID WAS USELESS

JUST TRY, MAKE BELIEVE THAT YOU’RE SAFE FOR ONE NIGHT
AS YOU’RE STRUGGLING TOWARDS THE FIRST LIGHT
WE ALL KNOW JUST WHAT WE CAN ALL HANDLE

AM I WHAT YOU NEED TO FEEL SAFE AND ALIVE
AS YOU’RE WONDERING WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
TO BE ABLE TO SEE ALL THE ANGLES

CUT OUT FROM THE HEART OF THE CITY
WASTING YOUR LIFE LOOKING FOR PITY, BUT IT’S UP TO YOU
YOU’RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE YOUR OWN WAY HOME
