I got the thunder in my bones, I got the trouble in my soul
I've been drownin' in tears my eyes were too proud to cry
I hear you knockin' at my door, but I can't open it no more
'Cause this heart's half full off rain and risin' high
Sometimes all that you can do is just survive
I can' t row you across right now, I can't row you across right now
I'm too busy buildin' a bridge
I can't throw you a line right now, I can't throw you a line right now
I'm too busy tryin' to live
I've been a fool for holdin' on, I've been a fool for bein' strong
I've been a fool for love and I'll be a fool again
As soon as the rain stops pourin' down, as soon as I find some higher ground
I'll be good as new but I can't tell you when
So just keep on strikin' matches until then
I can't burn you a flame right now, I can't burn you a flame right now
I'm too busy seein' the light
I can't lift you up right now, I can't lift you up right now
I'm too busy tryin' to fly
BRIDGE - Let go the anchor, let go the chains
Don't reach for me, don't call my name
Shake off the past and baby just swim for the shore
Throw me a kiss and hope for the best
Take what you will, take what you get
Do what you want but I can't save you no more
I got the thunder in my bones, I got the trouble in my soul
I've been drownin' in tears my eyes were too proud to cry
I can't whisper a prayer right now, I can't whisper a prayer right now
I'm too busy baby sayin' goodbye
BRIDGE -
