Sara Bareilles – Orpheus Lyrics

Come by the fire
Lay down your head
My love I see you’re growing tired
So set the bad day by the bed
And rest a while
Your eyes can close
You don’t have to do a thing
But listen to me sing I know
You miss the world
The one you knew
The one where everything made sense
Because you didn’t know the truth
That’s how it works
Till the bottom drops out
And you learn
We’re all just hunters seeking solid ground

Don’t stop
Trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it’s blinding
There’s a way out
Say out loud
We will not give up on love now
No fear
Don’t you turn like Orpheus
Just stay here
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
We’ll say
We did not give up on love today

I’ll show you good
Restore your faith
I’ll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place
Convince you love, don’t breathe it in
You were written in the stars that we are swimming in
And it has no name
No guarantee
It’s just the promise of a day
I know that some may never see
But that’s enough
If the bottom drops out
I hope my love was someone else’s solid ground

Don’t stop
Trying to find me here amidst the chaos
Though I know it’s blinding
There’s a way out
Say out loud
We will not give up on love now
No fear
Don’t you turn like Orpheus
Just stay here
Hold me in the dark and when the day appears
We’ll say
We did not give up on love today
We’ll say
We did not give up on love today
