Human Child

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We hold life tight to our chests Slip it on like a dress We're oh so faithfully possessed We let ourselves be owned by things long gone Old photographs, old songs Wrap us in ghosts [Pre-Chorus] Oh human child Your face to the wind, your back to the sun Oh human child You're digging up bones and miss all the fun [Chorus] I'm not here to save you I'm just tryna get you outside Get yourself out of your way and pull your head out of the shade [Verse 2] A bird takes off into above We follow with our eyes but never grab hold, never own it That's as it should be, as it was and ever will be So let's stop moaning, stop your sobbing [Pre-Chorus] Oh human child Your face to the wind, your back to the sun Oh human child You're digging up bones and miss all the fun [Chorus] I'm not here to save you I'm just tryna get you outside Get yourself out of your way and pull your head out of the shade [Bridge] Nothing ever dies but we still gotta let it go Let your beauty sing across time and stop tryna oh no no Nothing ever dies but we still gotta let it go [Verse 3] Some trick of the light pulls me upright Makes me laugh out loud into the emptiness Some pull on the hair, somebody there Makes me stare wide eyes into the emptiness [Pre-Chorus] Oh human child Your face to the wind, your back to the sun Oh human child You're digging up bones and miss every point [Chorus] It's a beautiful night, I'm here to drag you outside Pull your head out of the shade, my sun-blessed babe It's a beautiful night, I'm here to drag you outside Pull your ass out of the shade, my sun-blessed babe [Outro] (My sun-blessed babe) My sun-blessed babe (My sun-blessed baby) I'm not here to save you I'm not here to save you I'm not here to save you I'm not here to save you My sun-blessed baby My sun-blessed baby My sun-blessed baby My sun-blessed baby
