Before the Line - Dodie

I used to smile at every star and thank the sky

Now I look up to all the duds and wonder why

I feel like all of them are gone

Can’t feel a single one

And so I stretch my eyes across the land and sea

I know I loved the world, but now it’s flat to me

Oh, tell me, did someone snatch the light?

Why doesn’t it look right?

I made a promise, but I break it every day

It’s not my fault, for I was promised just the same

Once I saw fire, and all I know is something happened

Did I let it go?

Now every morning since the line between my lives

I greet the sun and ask, «Have I already died?

If not, then why am I alone?

And when can I come home?»

Oh, and I am lying when I say

It’s time to let her float away

No, I’m still clawing for the strings

Oh, I’d do any fucking thing

I know I have to close the door

Too much to miss it anymore

I think that this really is it

I’ll have to take what I can get

I’ll have to take what I can get

What I can get

I made a promise, but I break it every day

It’s not my fault, for I was promised just the same

Once I saw fire, and all I know is something happened

Did I let it go?

I made a promise, but I break it every day

No, it’s not my fault, for I was promised just the same

Once I saw fire, and all I know is something happened

Did I let it go?

Once I saw fire, and all I know is something happened

Did I let it go?
