Sampha - Timmy's Prayer lyrics

If ever you're listening
If ever you're listening
If ever you're listening

If ever you're listening
If heaven's a prison then I am your prisoner
Yes, I am your prisoner i messed up, ooh
I know now
There's no room for me to play now
Nowhere to dig my way out

My vital organs are beating through
My ribcage opened, my heart ballooned
I, I've lost another one
I'm on the floor trying to dress my wounds
Address the fact it was mine to lose
I, I didn't try enough
And when I'm left without your love
It could feel like a lifetime, baby
And somewhere in the start, we had it alright
Sunshine and blue skies, yes, I recall
But now, there's a darker blue
I'm bleeding and you don't care
The sun sinks and you're not there

If ever you're listening
If heaven's a prison then I am your prisoner
Yes, I am your prisoner i messed up, ooh
I know now
There's no room for me to play now
Nowhere to dig my way out

My brother always said I'm a dreamer, dreamer
You better watch out where this
Life will lead ya
And he always said she's a keeper keeper
She'll stay by your side when
The rest will leave ya
Well, I'm looking on my left side
I'm looking on my right
She's nowhere to be seen now when
I close my eyes at night

Dreaming, surely you will find
Me by the shore i'm singing so blindly
Can you hear me? Can you find me?
If you find me, wanna tell you I love you so
I wanna tell you that love, it comes and goes
That it comes and goes
I hear the footsteps in water
And I feel the breeze
I open my eyes and you're nowhere
Nowhere to be seen

I wish that I listened when I was in prison
Now I'm just a visitor
I came to the gates, but you turned me away
You asked me what am I waiting for
I'm waiting 'cause I fucked up, ooh
I got thrown out
I don't know which way to go now
I don't know which way is home now

If ever you're listening
If heaven's a prison then I am your prisoner
Yes, I am your prisoner i messed up, oh
I know now
There's no room for me to play now
Nowhere to dig my way out
