Lyrics

Broken Stones

Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Oh, like broken stones
They're all trying to get home

Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, so lost and alone
They're trying to get home

As another pitch shatters
Another little bit gets lost
What else truly matters?
Oh, such a cost

Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, he's lost and alone
Yeah, like broken stones

And another pitch shatters
Another little bit gets lost
Tell me what else really matters
Oh, such a cost

Like pebbles on a beach
Kicked around, displaced by feet
Oh, like broken stones
They're all trying to get home

Like a loser's reach
Too slow and short to hit the peaks
Yeah, lost and alone
Yeah, trying to get home

Trying to get home
Trying to get home
Like broken stones
Oh, trying to get home
Ooh
Trying to get home
Like broken stones
