Above the Salt - Portair/VÉRITÉ.mp3

[00:14.117] I've been waiting for a tonic
[00:17.499] To blunt the blow of what's been coming
[00:20.854] I've made my peace with being honest
[00:22.779] Letting you know
[00:24.360] Letting you know
[00:25.329]
[00:27.586] I told myself it just felt right
[00:31.130] Walking off into the night
[00:34.392] If what I'm feeling isn't spite
[00:36.172] How could I know
[00:37.786] How could I know
[00:38.762]
[00:41.195] I've found myself above the salt
[00:44.447] A better man with better faults
[00:47.870] Burning blades of weathered grass
[00:51.261] Wringing out my weathered hands
[00:52.916]
[00:54.708] I've been waiting
[00:58.708] For someone you won't become
[01:01.520] Anticipating
[01:05.317] The quiet before the rush
[01:08.192] I've been chasing
[01:12.076] A feeling that never comes
[01:15.017] I've been waiting
[01:18.875] For someone you won't become
[01:23.123]
[01:35.293] I've been sipping gin and tonics
[01:38.580] To numb the hits as they keep coming
[01:41.974] I hit the floor and you keep running
[01:45.336] Don't know how to end or where we started, no
[01:47.945]
[01:48.708] I told myself that we'd grow old
[01:51.963] Like purple palms braced for the cold
[01:55.472] I tried and tried but it can't let go
[01:58.909] It's like I hold on for the principle
[02:00.523]
[02:01.229] Ay, I've found myself above the salt
[02:05.713] Better 'cause I know my faults
[02:08.990] Burning blades of weathered grass
[02:12.677] A forest fire from my hands
[02:14.240]
[02:15.756] I've been waiting
[02:20.070] For someone you won't become
[02:22.637] Anticipating
[02:26.643] The quiet before the rush
[02:29.278] I've been chasing
[02:33.338] A feeling that never comes
[02:36.102] I've been waiting
[02:39.969] For someone you won't become
[02:42.058]
[02:42.762] Idling on the fringe
[02:44.407] Staring at the sun
[02:46.239] Looking back at where I've been
[02:48.248] And how I can become
[02:49.581] Water sitting on the skin
[02:51.269] Sulfur in the cut
[02:52.812] Learning how to let it go
[02:55.020]
[02:56.463] Idling on the fringe
[02:57.737] Staring at the sun
[02:59.755] Looking back at where I've been
[03:01.446] And how I can become
[03:03.134] Water sitting on the skin
[03:04.762] Sulfur in the cut
[03:06.462] Learning how to let it go
[03:07.474]
[03:16.863] I've been waiting
[03:21.126] For someone you won't become
[03:23.500] Anticipating
[03:27.779] The quiet before the rush
[03:30.259] I've been chasing
[03:34.190] A feeling that never comes
[03:36.875] I've been waiting
[03:40.849] For someone you won't become
