Kate Miller-Heidke The Truth lyrics

So I crawled down the stairs to the truth
That is sleeping alone, on a bed
The mosquito net weeping above
That lazy old truth, been lying there for weeks

So I throw myself on to the bed
Onto the mercy of the truth
Who is stirring and trying to cheer up the net
And afterwards me and I'm feeling weak

'Cause I could go on, and on
Deluding myself
Waiting in the shadows
I am waiting for something else

To come along and put things in order
Meanwhile, I raise my hands above the water
Ready, I am in position
Just promise you'll be here soon

So all of the people around
I don't wanna grow old like them
Bracing, and grabbing too tight to not much
But I start feeling tired a little earlier each day


So I'm looking to re-arrange the dawn
To tidy up the order of events
And unwind every thread of regret
But take that away, and what is there left?

'Cause I could go on, and on
Deluding myself
Waiting in the shadows
I am waiting for something else

To come along and put things in order
Meanwhile, I raise my hands above the water
Ready, I am in position
Just promise you'll be here soon

From now on, I just know things will be different
See the waves?
They're all nodding their agreement
If you promise you'll be here soon
