Boy & Bear - End of the Line lyrics

[Verse 1] The end of the line Calamity at first sight Now, the man in me don't walk right Just like a pebble in my shoe But you were a wanderer And a competent one at that So it caught me by surprise, this vulnerability That I never thought I had [Pre-Chorus 1] But you tried so hard to say, oh Everything you wanted to And with an aching tongue Oh, you spat out at the world, now not of words But of a pearl that had belonged to her... [Chorus 1] So I went back to the country Where the air was mild and sweet I was in need of some reprieve and intermission Oh, to gather up my things and to get back upon my feet But I can't say I've got the answers For it's always shades of grey But there's a warmth in the air in mid-September And its enough across my face just to remind me that I'm well upon my way [Verse 2] And I feel the ease Man, I feel it tingle in my toes How funny are the way that these memories do grow Into some old French film in black-and-white And I know the ropes Because, you see, I've said goodbye to some lovers Fleshed out and tied to each other By that invisible string; it tangles me [Pre-Chorus 2] And when that morning came up fast, well it Broke the fever square upon its back And finally I felt just like I should Oh, the blood under my fingers warm the clearing Of a two-month storm, now done... [Chorus 2] So I went back to the country Where the air, now bitter sweet And subtle is the change of my indifference Oh, but strange is how the solitude can leave a man complete And I can't wait 'till the morning Be it sunshine, hail, or snow See, I do not believe in superstition But somewhere amongst this mess, I may have found some happiness to call my own [Outro] Oh, and time is a healer Time is a friend of mine In time, if you feel it Would you be a friend of mine? Oh, I hope you're a friend of mine...
