DOWN DOWN LOW

Sometimes you gotta go dark

Sometimes you gotta be quiet

Sometimes you gotta get far from

The voices that stir up violence

 

Everybody wants to talk

Nobody wants to listen

Everybody wants to talk

Nobody wants to listen

 

You gotta get get get

Down down low

You gotta turn turn turn it

Down down low

You gotta take it take it take it

Down down low

You gotta get down low

 

Sometimes you gotta go first

Sometimes you gotta be sorry

Sometimes you’re gonna get hurt and

Go back to where you started

 

Everybody wants to win

Nobody wants to listen

Everybody wants to win

Nobody wants to listen

 

CHORUS

 

Find the voice that speaks in every tongue

Hear the song that writes a thousand more

If we listen well before it’s said and done

There’ll be harmony we’ve never heard before

 

Hear the whisper of humility - ahh, ahh

Love will writ a sweeter melody - ahh, ahh

Love will write a sweeter melody - ahh, ahh

 

Sometimes you gotta go dark

Sometimes you gotta be quiet

Sometimes you gotta get far from

The voices that stir up violence

 

Everybody wants to talk  

Nobody wants to listen

Everybody wants to talk

Nobody wants to listen

 

CHORUS


come after me

I was seventeen, running through the back woods

Sat down by the river with my book, it felt so good

Getting lost in my thoughts, dreaming 'bout being found

Could anybody hear my heart say

 

Come after me, come after me, come after me

I want to be, I want to be, I want to be

Worth the grand pursuit

Wanted by you

So if I go, I need to know your love will come after me

 

Used to feel you thinking of me from across town

Hard for me to reach you when you stand across the room now

So I'm climbing the hills just to get to your heart

And I keep hoping that I'll see you

 

CHORUS

 

Though I want you, I know I'll be okay

If you leave, I'll keep walking anyway

Find me in the forest where the riverbed sings

Tell me you've been looking, you've been looking for me

 

CHORUS


hold this house up

I wasn't awake to notice the rain

I wasn't awake 

Until I saw you kneeling in the mud

I added the cost, I gathered the rope

I sounded the bell

But oh, the damage had already been done

 

And I know it's late, I know it's late

But I think it's not too late

To get our hands dirty

And act like it's worth being saved

 

Will you help me hold this house up

Will you help me hold this house up

Will you help me hold this house up

And let the waters pass beneath

 

You want to let go, let it go on

You haven't the heart

For one more disappointing turn of events

But look at the stone under our feet

Still in it's place

And I think that these old bones could stand a chance

 

I know it's hard, I know it's hard

But I think it's not too hard

To fix it together

Maybe stronger than ever before

 

CHORUS
