José González - Line of Fire lyrics

What would you do
If it all came back to you?
Each crest of each wave bright as lightning

What would you say
If you had to leave today?
Leave everything behind
Even though for once, you’re shining

You’re standing on higher ground
But when you hear the sound you
Realise it’s just the wind
And you notice it matters

Who and what you let under your skin
If put to the test
Would you step back from the line of fire?
Hold everything back
All emotions and desires

Convince yourself to be someone else
And hide back from the world
Your lack of confidence

What you choose to believe in
Dictates your rise or your fall
Dictates your rise or your fall

With no one else around you
No one to understand you
No one to hear your calls
Look through all your dark corners
When you’re backed up against the wall

Step back from the line of fire
Step back from the line of fire
Step back from the line of fire
Step back from the line of fire
