lyrics

OUT OF YOUR REACH
Nathan McDonald. © 2008 Littlebeck Records.

Like a cat on the street
Stray and hungry for days
You were a roamer
Looking for a home

Needing more than a roof
You had struck out on love
He was the first one to let you in

Now you don’t mind the gap
Between yourself and the sky
You’ve got your fill of clouds in your lungs

And when he kisses your mouth
You breathe enough of his air
To float above the surface of your doubt

It’s out of your reach
With your feet on the ground
It doesn’t matter where you’re standing from

It’s out of your reach
You won’t turn back around
You’ll never pardon who you have become

He’s carving your name
On the length of his chest
Italic letters and a blue guitar

You wait outside
With nothing to do
But light up your last
And watch the Northern Lights

It’s out of your reach…

When I feel a weight on my bones
I can make a trade for a lighter load
When my head is hanging low
I gotta lift it up to a higher road

It’s out of your reach…

You’ve never seen such a mess
Than when you look in the mirror
You can’t look away even if you tried

He’s got more than you have
And he’s all that you’ve got
But baby, this is not your gravity
