Lyrics Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile

Eye of the Needle

Twenty years of pushing pens

Of up the stairs and down again

Should have learned to style my hair

So I could never sleep at night

I've never mastered eating right

Distracted by the skin I wear

And I'm alive in here somewhere

Cause I can feel me twisting

I'm so far beyond my years

So don't be fooled by today

Hey please just believe in me

Don't lose your hope so easily

Because passing through the eye of a needle

Isn't as easy as it sounds

For those like me

Yeah yeah

Nothing short of miracles

Can save a small and dying world

That offers no apologies

To lay their hopes and dreams asleep

But pray the lord their goal to keep

But I still got a soul in me

And old protects ability

And illusions of grandeur

I once was blind but now I see

They got everything for me but grace

Hey please just believe in me

Don't lose hope so easily

Because passing through the eye of a needle

Isn't as easy as it sounds

For those like me

Yeah yeah

Yeah

And I'm alive in here somewhere

Cause I can feel me twisting

I'm so far beyond my years

So don't be fooled by today

Hey please just believe in me

Don't lose hope so easily

Because passing through the eye of the needle

Isn't as easy as it sounds

For those like me

Yeah yeah
