[The Killers - My Own Soul's Warning lyrics]
I tried going against my own soul's warning
But in the end
Something just didn't feel right
Oh, I tried diving even though
The sky was storming
I just wanted to get back to where you are
If you could see through the
Banner of the sun into eternity's eyes
Like a vision reaching down to you
Would you turn away?
What if it knew you by your name?
What kind of words would cut through the
Clutter of the whirlwind of these days?
I tried going against my own soul's warning
And in the end
Something just didn't feel right
Oh, I tried diving
Even though the sky was storming
Thunderheads were forming
But then I thought I could fly
And when I hit the ground
It made a messed up sound
And it kept on rattling through my days
And cutting up my nights
Like a goddamn knife
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
I just wanted to get back to where you are
I tried going against my own soul's warning
And in the end
Something just didn't feel right
Oh, I tried running from the
Memory and the mourning
But the penalty kept on pouring
And now I think I know why
'Cause when I hit the ground
It made a messed up sound
And it kept on rattling through my days
And cutting up my nights
Like a goddamn knife
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
I just wanted to get back to where you are
But in the end
Something just didn't feel right
Oh, I tried diving even though
The sky was storming
I just wanted to get back to where you are
If you could see through the
Banner of the sun into eternity's eyes
Like a vision reaching down to you
Would you turn away?
What if it knew you by your name?
What kind of words would cut through the
Clutter of the whirlwind of these days?
I tried going against my own soul's warning
And in the end
Something just didn't feel right
Oh, I tried diving
Even though the sky was storming
Thunderheads were forming
But then I thought I could fly
And when I hit the ground
It made a messed up sound
And it kept on rattling through my days
And cutting up my nights
Like a goddamn knife
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
I just wanted to get back to where you are
I tried going against my own soul's warning
And in the end
Something just didn't feel right
Oh, I tried running from the
Memory and the mourning
But the penalty kept on pouring
And now I think I know why
'Cause when I hit the ground
It made a messed up sound
And it kept on rattling through my days
And cutting up my nights
Like a goddamn knife
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
I just wanted to get back to where you are
