Lyrics
The Trick
Who says I’m not ready
Listen to my body, listen to my body
My dreams are invaded
A beautiful attack
Then reality circles
And I am brought right back
Who says I’m not ready
Listen to my body, listen to my body
Sometimes I feel like a child
Holding my mother’s hand
Other times I’m overwhelmed
By the blessed and unplanned
A moment passed a fleeting life
I held your arms and saw your eyes
Is it real
Can I feel cotton below
A moment passed a fleeting life
I held your arms and saw your eyes
Is it real
Is this the cloud of smoke
Who says I’m not ready
Listen to my body, listen to my body
Twenty years and now one more
Could that be enough
Give in to the animal
Come on, call my bluff
Who says I’m not ready
Listen to my body, listen to my body
Oldest trick in the holy book
Repeat x 7
A moment passed a fleeting life
I held your arms and saw your eyes
Is it real
Can I feel cotton below
A moment passed a fleeting life
I held your arms and saw your eyes
Is it real
Is this the cloud of smoke
Who says I’m not ready
Who says I’m not ready
Oldest trick in the holy book
Repeat x 15
