Hurts Like Heaven

Hurts Like Heaven - Shearwater

Carved in a railing on a bridge in the park

Do you ever get the feeling that you're missing the mark

It's so cold so cold

Written in marker on the factory sign

I struggle with the feeling that my life

Is not mine

And on the way to the airport a withering rain

And the sense that the sky is eroding away

And still I won't let go

Still I won't let go

Can I use my heart

Like a weapon

The pallor of lights on the M25

Sucks heat from my blood and the life from alive

It's so cold so cold

Billowing waves in the wind in the dark

A crack in the hull and a shower of sparks and

Then I lose control

And it sighs in the heater

And it sings in the drain

A repeater goes dark and the signal degrades

Still I can't let go

Still I won't let go

And I see my heart like a surgeon

Can I use my life

Like a weapon
