José González - Line of Fire lyrics
[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
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
