Paul Johnson - Needles & Pins lyrics

[Produced by Paul Johnson] [Verse 1: Canyon City] I woke up before the sun rose Did my best to walk on tip toes Needles and pins Cus if you heard the way I pace around this room your mind would race for the reasons and sins I never learned to wear a tie and go to work and tell you lies like everything's ok Though sometimes it is for a little while And I can live in between those smiles And patiently wait [Chorus: Canyon City] When it feels like home where you can't be found cus she haunts the alone and you need her now Revered like gold in your plastic crown when your kingdom falls and you lay it down Before the next breathe you need the grace To breathe out [Verse 2: Canyon City] I've been talking faster I've been Looking for distraction trying to loosen up some days Ain't it funny how we can't remember Most our lives while a few words never mercifully fade So I beg you honey take some pictures Frame them hang them high and let's set fire to the room Cus I think I like the lighting better when it's wrapped up in burning time like sweaters for your cold winter blue [Chorus: Canyon City] When it feels like home where you can't be found cus she haunts the alone and you need her now Revered like gold in your plastic crown when your kingdom falls and you lay it down Before the next breathe you need the grace To breathe out [Bridge: Canyon City] Oh have I lost some keys in the dust as I cleaned up Oh don't it always seem to come as you let go [Chorus: Canyon City] When it feels like home where you can't be found cus she haunts the alone and you need her now Revered like gold in your plastic crown when your kingdom falls and you lay it down Before the next breathe you need the grace Before the next breathe you need the grace To breathe out [Outro: Canyon City] I woke up before the sun rose
