lyrics

"Lines"

Music and Lyrics by Danny Surico

Arranged by The Future Laureates


I’ve been digging through the earth, moon shining on my back,

And I’m muttering the words, “happily ever after.”

The battles I have waged between me, myself and I

Have resulted in the grave I’m digging tonight

To forget you.



I’ll become a believer in the power of positive thinking.

You are an overachiever. Anything you set your mind to succeeds.

Now time, I have got. But your love I have not yet won.

Hmm.



I have come here with a purpose. I will rid you of my heart.

But truthfully, I’m nervous. Not for what I finish,

for what I never even started.



And I’ll become a believer in the power of positive thinking.

I know you’re an overachiever: could you ever set your sights on me?

So just kiss me once in the moonlight, and I guarantees the sparks, they fly.

And just like a dream, you lower down a rope for me.

Hmm.



There are lines that aren’t worth crossing.

There are lines that aren’t worth crossing.

There are lines that aren’t worth crossing.

These are the lines that I’m now crossing. (Hmm)

These are the lines that I’m now crossing. (Hmm)

These are the lines that I’m now crossing. (Hmm)



And I’m climbing higher toward the one who waits for me above.

And I’m a simple man of simple desires, and I simply offer you my love.

So I, I take your hand in the moonlight, and I kiss you.

And the sparks, they fly.

Mmm.
