Testo Renaissance Mat Kearney
This is my renaissance
This is my one response
This is the way I say I love you
This is my second chance
This is my one romance
This is the cutting line
On which I stand to show you
It happened fast in a flash, just this evening
As I hit the gas, horn blast, brakes were screaming
As the car crashed, broken glass, broke my dreaming
I hit the dash, so fast my ears are ringing
My sisterâs on the right side just slightly leaning
I grabbed her hand hard until she started breathing
My brotherâs in the back, jaw cracked from the beating
The breath in my chest has slipped and Iâm sinking
Blinking through diamond spider webs of cracked glass
Iâm trying to remember all the words you said in the past
Through the ash, siren screams and red beams
I hear you sing softly to me
CHORUS:
I can be the wall when you fall down
Find me on the rocks when you break down
I heard it in the song when you call out
But I got to say now itâs got to change (x2 this time)
This is my broken heart
This is my bleeding start
This is the way Iâve come to know you
This is my winding road
This is my way back home
This is the narrow door you know that I will walk through
I got a letter today of why she went away
She said, âItâs better this way, you knew I never could stay.â
Half empty closets and frames, all thatâs left to my name
As she left in the rain and left my heart on a chain
Three years Iâve built this two-face tower for hours on a lease
You gave me one yellow flower that said rest in peace
In pieces Iâve broken open to think too much or just enough
Alone to trust midst the rubble and the dust
Humbled, it took this much to break down and understand
Spent my life this far on castles made of sand
Tossed in the breakers in the palm of your hand
Now I can finally stand
CHORUS x4
I can be the one
I heard it in the song
And I can be the one
I heard it in the song
This is my renaissance
This is my one response
This is the way I say I love you
