lyrics

Don't be Torn

Don't be torn
You feel a change in the air
But you can't see the storm
Stay close stay warm
So I'll remain
You've been warned
Don't be torn
I just want to be your snail
Stay close stay warm
So I'll remain
You've been warned

I've tried to move around
Go underground
Here's what I found
It takes heart
To fall apart
Start from the start
Hear no sound
‘Cause every time I try to think
A ship sets sail I fear might sink
So I redefine what's in decline
And paper floods with ink

Don’t be torn
(Be assertive)

So let's dance
Let's begin to map the winds
Of what has and has been
And never bother to turn around
Don't look back now
Or take any bows
Just carry on

Hands hide from hearts
Hide from hands
What they know
No
Don't be torn
So maybe next time won't come so suddenly
In my mind
It’s already next time
Suddenly….
