Spraynard Can I Borrow A Feeling Lyrics
Can I Borrow A Feeling? by Spraynard
[Verse 1]
The ground down here is shaking
And I never knew your name
A part of me has been aching
To see what is the same
I never thought I'd feel empty
I never thought I'd have a doubt
I never thought I'd have to relearn
Moving on without
And now the bugs are crawling into my bed
And I'm afraid that they will think I am dead
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
You were the first one I'd ever met
Who understood why everything seemed backward to me
And now we can't even talk
Which still seems backward to me
But if moving apart
Helps you move forward
Then maybe one day we'll be in the same place
And we'll laugh like we used to every day
[Verse 3]
Over the years we painted a picture
I should have asked you first
Before I took it down
But I'd been watching it for months
And it was only getting worse
Your easel remained empty
I gave it as a gift
And then it rotted away in that house
And so did your will to live
[Outro]
Leave me here
I've got a lot to figure out on my own
Like better ways to have better days on my own
On my own
The ground down here is shaking
And I never knew your name
A part of me has been aching
To see what is the same
I never thought I'd feel empty
I never thought I'd have a doubt
I never thought I'd have to relearn
Moving on without
And now the bugs are crawling into my bed
And I'm afraid that they will think I am dead
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
You were the first one I'd ever met
Who understood why everything seemed backward to me
And now we can't even talk
Which still seems backward to me
But if moving apart
Helps you move forward
Then maybe one day we'll be in the same place
And we'll laugh like we used to every day
[Verse 3]
Over the years we painted a picture
I should have asked you first
Before I took it down
But I'd been watching it for months
And it was only getting worse
Your easel remained empty
I gave it as a gift
And then it rotted away in that house
And so did your will to live
[Outro]
Leave me here
I've got a lot to figure out on my own
Like better ways to have better days on my own
On my own
