Joel Baker - Ruins lyrics
[Joel Baker - Ruins lyrics]
With the boxes all packed
I switched off the light
Moved out my flat and moved out my mind
Don't know where I'm going but I
Know who calls me mine
It's more than I've ever needed
Spent my twenties tied up in people's advice
And it emptied my bank and filled
My head up with lies
I wouldn't change much but less
Regrets would be nice
But what good is the past to me now?
Yeah, I don't know either
So keep it moving when I'm already losing
Therе's no need to be scared of the ruins
If falling apart lеads into your arms
It's all that I want (ooh)
It's all that I want
(ooh) it's all that I want (ooh)
If falling apart
With the car loaded up
We drove south on the road
Needed some space to open
Things that I've closed
I've learned that holding on
Is mostly letting go
I still cling to the things that I keep
Spent my twenties try'na be what I do
Putting myself in the centre
Was a dizzying view
Sometimes nightmares are needed for the
Dreams to come true but if you're asking me
I don't understand it either
So keep it moving when I'm already losing
There's no need to be scared of the ruins
If falling apart leads into your arms
It's all that I
(Want, want, want)
It's all that I want, want, want (the ruins)
It's all that I want, want, want
(yeah, keep it moving)
It's all that I want, want, want
It's all that I want, want, want
(but there's no need to be scared)
It's all that I want, want, want
Fighting some foreign war
Frozen water on all fours
Longing for a lotion of that is fading
Like a carpet in the sun
What have I won if I've lost my sense
Of me? My sense of meant to be?
An old friend to me who now
Seems immature when we meet now
Beat down and swollen
The tremors can still be felt, I'm on fire
I just keep down, and roll it out
I am a city overrun, overtaken
Broken windows a fuel for the landmines
(I'm as old as landlines)
But my wounds are so youthful
And when I'm pushed to the floor
It's the child inside me who falls
And I'm so tired of feeling
I've wandered in the dark so many nights
That even in the light, sometimes
I close my eyes, a force of habit
All I've carried
Falling out the shopping bags
But I know it's in my has it been a while?
All these fasten to my sight
Me and God are boats passing in the night
(It's all that I want, want, want)
(It's all that I want, want, want)
But I have come to tell you
There is joy in the morning
Peace in despair, courage in the falling
Calm in the chaos
So don't be scared of the ruins
Just keep it moving
If falling apart leads me into your arms
Then it's all that I
(Want, want, want)
It's all that I want, want, want
It's all that I want, want, want
It's all that I want, want, want
It's all that I want, want, want
It's all that I want, want, want
I have come to tell you there
Is joy in the morning
Peace in despair, courage in the falling
Calm in the chaos
I switched off the light
Moved out my flat and moved out my mind
Don't know where I'm going but I
Know who calls me mine

Spent my twenties tied up in people's advice
And it emptied my bank and filled
