Lyrics

Time Above the Earth

From Junk Of The Heart2011

Written by Hugh Harris, Luke Pritchard

Produced by Tony Hoffer

Lyrics

Time Above the Earth

[Verse 1] I've spent so much time above the earth Thinking about life and each man's worth How could one person be worth more than A thousand people knocking on his door? Still, the motion of your hair Well, that could take me anywhere Because you're happier than I Please don't say goodbye [Verse 2] Then I get off the plane A thousand thoughts reaching through my brain Like, am I really here at all? Will I see her again? If I do, will it feel the same? And am I really here at all?
