First Aid Kit - The Bell Lyrics
Don't place your bets on meI'm tired and I'm onlyWith nothing to offer youNothing to offer youThe pavement stares gray and coldOur lives are a story toldComing to an endingIt's coming to an endingHow could I turn around?Face the sound of the bell that shines?Ring it out, trim it outTo drag me back downBut I'm not coming homeBeen out here for so longThe road just stretches onTill I stop pretendingTill I stop pretendingBut the world is an empty frameAnd now you are just a nameI'll keep it that wayIt's staying that wayHow could I turn around?Face the sound of the bell that shines?Ring it out, trim it outTo drag me back downBut I'm not coming homeI tried hard to be braveI tried hard not to be afraidBut trying wasn't enoughI tried hard to be braveI tried hard not to be afraidBut trying wasn't enoughI'm sorry, I'm sorryCan you hear the bell?Can you hear the bell?The bell, the bellCan you hear the bell?Can you hear the bell?The bell, the bellFrom the rust that lies deep in it's throatI hear solemn tonesThe danger, the absent floorsIn the silence of night he lets me knowThat I'm not coming home
