Lyrics

There’s al ways cracks: a crack of sun light, a crack in the mir ror or on your lips.

It’s the morn ing on a sun set Fri day when all con ver sa tions twist.

It’s the (Cm)fifth day of ice on a new tat too, but the ice should be on our heads.

We on ly (Cm)spun the web to catch our selves, so (Eb)we weren’t left for dead.

And I was nev er look in’ for (Eb)ap prov al from an y one but you.

And (Eb)though this jour ney’s o ver, I’d go back if you asked me (Eb)to.

(Cm7)I’m not (C)dead, just float ing.

(Ebsus2)Right be tween the ink on your tat too and the (Fm9)bel ly of the beast (Eb)we turned in to,

(Cm7)I’m not (C)scared, just chang ing.

(Eb5)Right be hind the cig ar rette and the dev il ish smile,

you’re (Eb)my crack of sun light.

You can (C5)do the math a thou sand ways but you can’t e rase the facts

that oth ers come and oth ers go, but you al ways come back.

I’m the (Cm)win ter flow er un der ground, al ways thirst y for sum mer rain,

and just like the change in sea sons, I know you’ll be back a gain.

I’m not dead just yet.

not dead, I’m just float ing.

(Bb5)does n’t mat ter I’m go ing; (Eb)I’ll find I’m not scared at all.

der neath the cuts and bruis es, (Bb5)find the game where one los es.

(Eb)I’ll find I will find you.

(Cm7)I’m not (Bb)dead, just float ing.

(Ebsus2)I’m not (Bb)scared, just chang ing.

You’re my crack of sun light.
