You Wanted an Avalanche Lyrics

I wanted nothing but the heart

And you wanted an avalanche

I guess that's kinda where we start

Surrounded by all your house plants

I guess that's kind of how we bend

And frame the light

A while to know you and the night

Just lie in wait for new daylight

So damn afraid of being burned

My heart's a mortar and it's pointed at

The very thing I'm trying to save

Some spark and light that I lost ages back

But losing traction

Hit the brakes

I wanted you and your mistakes

Just got these ghosts that I can't shake

And all these lines that I can't fake

A broken spell, a sinking sound

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

It comes up high, it leads you down

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

It took the rain to make me true

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

Oh you, a setting sun, a brand new moon

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

I guess a lesson's never learned

Till you take the plunge and find out

The water's warmer with you here

No antidote for all the bad brain bouts

But ears for fears and pains is all we ever meant

Some new transmissions that you sent

So damn scared of odds and ends

It's all the light that you can spend

A broken spell, a sinking sound

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

It comes up high, it leads you down

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

It took the rain to make me true

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

Oh you, a setting sun, a brand new moon

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

When I see your face

I think of every single day

That I spent lying in my bed

Waging war with this old head

And I have pictures on the wall

But They don't look like me at all

No, They don't look like me at all

And if you miss me, would you call?

Cause when I hear you on the phone

It feels like nothing's really gone

And time is just a song

That we've been singing all alone

A broken spell, a sinking sound

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

It comes up high, it leads you down

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

It took the rain to make me true

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

Oh you, a setting sun, a brand new moon

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

It leads you down

It leads you down

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

It leads you down

It leads you down

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

It leads you down

It leads you down

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)

It leads you down

It leads you down

(Some things are in my head, right

Some things are in my head, right?)
