Lyrics

Rust (Radio Edit)

I wish that you were here

Down amongst the dust

I need someone to help me

You need someone to trust

There's something with these tears

Turning me to rust

I need someone to help me

Yeah I need someone to touch

Give me one more try

And I'll come flaking back to you

I wish that you were here

I wish that it was true

I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain

Leaving on the scars where the pleasure turns to pain

Point me in a light

Bright and shiny in right direction

And then take me home again

Just when you thing it's over

Just when you think it's done

Out of every nowhere

You never see it come

I know the lines are showing

I can't keep them in

Like everybody's story

It's written on the skin

Give me one last try

And I'll make it up to you

Wish that you were here

Wish that I was true

I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain

Leaving on the scars where the pleasure turns to pain

Point me in a light

Bright and shiny in right direction

And then take me home again

I wish that you were here

Down amongst my dust

I need someone to help me

You need someone to trust

There's something with these tears

Turning me to rust

I wish that you were here

I wish that it was ours

I can feel the stars shooting through my heart like rain

Leaving on the scars where the pleasure turns to pain

Point me in a light

Bright and shiny in right direction

And then take me home again

... Everything's gonna be all right ...
