Your Own Set Of Wings

from Megara by Late Arrivals Club

lyrics

My bed is a box.
The room is dark.
I feel so crumpled and I'm
missing parts.
But you take my hand, and you're smiling,
I feel the trauma subsiding.

My colours are faded, I was
left out in the sun,
but you don't mind, you say
you're in love.
Just take my hand, and we're dancing,
the world around us slowly passing.

Make me ready
and keep me steady
because it's so windy today,
I feel like I'm floating away.
Don't let go,
don't tie me to a post.
I know I keep pulling away
but I'm trying so hard to stay.

Then I crash land,
my mouth full of mud.
But you come over and you
pick me up.
Just take my hand, and I'm gliding,
a rainbow soft and sure and shining.

Make me ready
and keep me steady
because it's so windy today,
I feel like I'm floating away.
Don't let go,
don't tie me to a post.
I know I keep pulling away
but I'm trying so hard to stay.
