Former Self lyrics
by Nation of Language
Hope, un-pardoned on the shore
Logged in volumes locked in drawers
My former self says I could ask for more
Away from you
I cover it well
But I may crumble
I can't stop myself
A careful world
Something to guide my soul
A way forward
Song, enrapture and unfurl
Love, remand me to the floor
Lay my head back
Candlelight for warmth
My former self says I could be someone
Away from you
I cover it well
But I may crumble
I can't stop myself
A careful world
Something to guide my soul
A way forward
Lay my head back
Quiet hands at work
My former self says
I could ask for more
Away from you
I cover it well
But I may crumble
I can't stop myself
A careful world
Something to guide my soul
A way forward
