Rise Against - Torches Lyrics
On clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom door, on windy nights I can smell the lake as it drifts to me from the shoreThe traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day but Im still waiting, yeah Im still waitingIf my hand could block the sun, would we ever wake up? if I turned back all these clocks would that be time enough?I cant remember exactly when this longing began but I know it wasnt before the day you touched my hand, laugh and shout in blissful daze and numbers are exchanged, Im still waiting, yeah Im still waitingIf my hand could block the sun, would we ever wake up? if I turned back all these clocks would that be time enough?So put your hands where I can see them, and shut your mouth, I know who you are, in a world void of feeling or heart I know that we are the torches in the darkLets break this down, lets make this count,Lets leave this one-horse town, no better time than nowThe angels dance like feathers float, theyre here to see and to be seen, the clock strikes two, the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings, once outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave but Im still waiting, yeah Im still waitingIf my hand could block the sun, would we ever wake up? if I turned back all these clocks would that be time enough?
