Lyrics

Eight

Try this, try this Try this, try this Try this, try this Try this, try this It's always something It's always something I know you're running and we know, hey I feel my heartbeat

You tell me nothing You tell me nothing in this town, no Go where you want to go When you get there you'll be wishing you were by the phone Oh, go where you want to go Because the sky is lifting And I can't stop drifting along I'm singing with a lifeline

You want a lifeline oh oh I, I, I am singing for you softly And when you got me I am gone you know Go where you want to go When you get there you'll be wishing you were by the phone Oh, go where you want to go Because the sky is lifting And I can't stop drifting along

How Marika Hackman turned lockdown writer’s block into ‘Covers’
