lyrics

ORLEANS

You’re losing sight of Orleans
You’re losing hope for a safe way home
Don’t let it get to you, break the fight
Don’t you break my heart again

I’m pulling at your toes, God will never ever know
The joy of every moment and the time you spent
Holding me up, holding me down
Shaping the world until we were found
And now it’s all over me
Holding me up, breaking me down
Shaping the world until we were found
And now it’s all over me

Don’t you break my heart again

She’s telling you to go, oh God will never ever know
The pain, the confusion, and the time you spent
Holding me up, holding me down
Shaping the world until we were found
And now it’s all over me
Holding me up, breaking me down
Shaping the world until we were found
It’s all over me

It’s all over, so let’s start over
