Lyrics Melissa Ferrick

Melissa Ferrick

Somehow We Get There

Well I'm searching for somethin'

That I can't reach

So I whisper your name

In my sleep

N' time it isn't giving me

The space that I need

But you know at this pace

I don't think

I can

Pull into the lead

Forgiving myself is too simple too hard

There's got to be another way

To stop this car

But you know

Somehow we get there

Through the blind night

We got the while lines flashing past the tip of our headlights

Somehow we get there

From whatever we are

Somehow we get there

No matter how far

'Cause I can't

Carry this around anymore

It's getting heavier with age

It is the boulder in my stomach

It's the avalanche in my veins

So let's leave it behind

I want to bury it beside the road

I will sit there until it comes out of me

I'll be freezing in the summer desert cold

But you know

Somehow we get there

Through the blind night

We got the white lines flashing past the tips of our head lights

Somehow we get there

From wherever we are

Somehow we get there

No matter how far

So hold my head

While I rock

Myself back to sleep

And I tell you that I am not easy

And you tell me that I am

Sweet
