Nathaniel Rateliff, The Night Sweats - Face Down In The Moment lyrics

It careened and crashed while
The others waved
And you waited in the sun so
Long when you only wanted shade
Let the old men laugh, let the old men say
That I've never done nothing that
Wasn't out of love, baby

Now the weight that you carry
Seems such a heavy load
While you're face down in the
Moment waiting to let go

Remember standing in the light
Remember crawling all the way
You paraded in the nighttime
For a clеan getaway
You were standing in thе water
But only up to your knees
But, you know a strong current can
Always sweep you off your feet

You were waiting for the right time
But it could take so long
While you're face down in the
Moment waiting to let go
Face down in the moment waiting to let go

You were following the blind
When they stole your name
You were planning a way out
When you lost your way bent to a hunch now
Like a broke down show
Face down in the moment just
Waiting to let go

Face down in the moment waiting to let go
Face down in the moment waiting to let go

Keep waiting keep waiting
Keep waiting

You keep waiting on the night
You keep waiting on your pain
And every moment that you wait now
Is a moment slipped away
I think you're gonna have to
Come out and face
All the fear you can't explain
And all your life, you've been face down
Now it's time for you to see
All your life, you've been face down
Now it's time for you to see
All your life, you've been face down
Now it's time for you to see

See it see it
See it see it

Face down in the moment waiting to let go
Face down in the moment waiting to let go
