Painkillers
from Little Lives by Suitcase Runaway
lyrics
Can anyone please answer these questions I implore
My mind is stuck here on the couch, but my body's halfway out the door
And you and me watch newsreels from the night before
A plane crashed in the ocean and the UN's tryin' to stop another war
oh oh ho oh
The morning is so calm and soft and the sunlight calls my name
And your whistling in the hallway is such a sweet refrain
That I can replay over and over again, inside my little head
Somethin' to keep me grounded as the anchorman speaks of the dead
oh oh ho oh
And all we can see is darkness even though the sun may shine bright today
And if you try to look happy you're considered selfish in your ways
But nothin's ever gonna get better unless there's somthin' to kill the pain
Yeah nothin's ever gonna get better unless we all help to ease the pain
Oh your sweet refrain
I walk into the morning haze and see the moon and sun
one is growing dimmer as the other kills it's only love
And the two of them watch in silence the world coming undone
A failing love to compliment the tragedy, their only son
oh oh ho oh
(refrain)
My mind is stuck here on the couch, but my body's halfway out the door
And you and me watch newsreels from the night before
A plane crashed in the ocean and the UN's tryin' to stop another war
oh oh ho oh
The morning is so calm and soft and the sunlight calls my name
And your whistling in the hallway is such a sweet refrain
That I can replay over and over again, inside my little head
Somethin' to keep me grounded as the anchorman speaks of the dead
oh oh ho oh
And all we can see is darkness even though the sun may shine bright today
And if you try to look happy you're considered selfish in your ways
But nothin's ever gonna get better unless there's somthin' to kill the pain
Yeah nothin's ever gonna get better unless we all help to ease the pain
Oh your sweet refrain
I walk into the morning haze and see the moon and sun
one is growing dimmer as the other kills it's only love
And the two of them watch in silence the world coming undone
A failing love to compliment the tragedy, their only son
oh oh ho oh
(refrain)
