Lyrics

[00:13] Even if a day feels to long
[00:20] You feel like you can wait another one
[00:27] And you've slowly given up on everything
[00:35] Love is gonna find you again
[00:42] Love is gonna find you, you better be ready then
[01:02] Well you been kneeling in the dark for far too long
[01:09] You've been waiting for that spark but it hasn't come
[01:16] I'm calling to you please get off the floor
[01:23] A good heart will find you again
[01:31] A good heart will find you just be ready then
[01:38] Tethered to a bird of sorrow
[01:41] A voice that's buried in the hollow
[01:45] You've given over to self-deceiving
[01:47] You prostrate bow but not believing
[01:51] You've squandered more than you could borrow
[01:54] You bet your joy on all tomorrows for the hope of some returning
[02:01] While everything around you is burning
[02:10] Come on we gotta get out get out of this mess we've made
[02:17] And still for all our talk we're both so afraid
[02:24] But will we leave this up to chance like we do everything
[02:31] Love is gonna find us again
[02:38] Love is gonna find us you gotta be ready then
[02:45] Tethered to a bird of sorrow
[02:48] A voice that's buried in the hollow
[02:52] You've given over the self- deceiving
[02:55] You prostrate bow but not believing
[02:58] You've squandered more than you could borrow
[03:02] You bet your joy on all tomorrows for the hope of some returning
[03:05] While everything around you is burning
[03:17] But I'm not leaving yet
[03:20] I'm not leaving yet
[03:22] I'm not leaving yet
[03:29] I'm not leaving yet
[03:35] Yeah I'm not leaving
[03:42] I'm not leaving yet
[03:45] Yeah I'm hanging on
[03:55] I'm hanging on
[04:01] Oh what's gonna come
[04:07] Oh I'm hangin on
[04:11] Hangin on hangin on hangin on hanging on hanging on hanging on
[04:33] And the fateful with the faithful I'm hanging on
[04:52] What's gonna come oh, what's gonna come
[05:06] Hanging on hanging on with the faithful the faithful
