Ray LaMontagne - Narrow Escape - Studio Z


I've been walking through the shadows most my life
Seen things that would make angels close their eyes
Then you came through my door like morning light
With your barefoot dancing and your easy smile

I don't deserve the way you look at me
Like I'm worth saving, like I'm meant to be
Something better than the man I've been
You make me want to start all over again

You laugh at my jokes that ain't even funny
You see something good in me I never could
Your hair falls like rain when you're above me
And for the first time, I feel understood

I've been walking through the shadows most my life
Seen things that would make angels close their eyes
Then you came through my door like morning light
With your barefoot dancing and your easy smile

I don't deserve the way you look at me
Like I'm worth saving, like I'm meant to be
Something better than the man I've been
You make me want to start all over again

You laugh at my jokes that ain't even funny
You see something good in me I never could
Your hair falls like rain when you're above me
And for the first time, I feel understood

Wildflower girl, growing through the cracks 
Where nothing beautiful should survive 
You bloomed anyway, despite it all 
And somehow kept this fool alive

The world outside is cruel and cold and mean
But you're sleeping next to me so still and sweet
Your breath like a prayer to an unknown God
You're the only honest thing I'll ever keep

I don't deserve the way you look at me
Like I'm worth saving, like I'm meant to be
Something better than the man I've been
You make me want to start all over again

Wildflower girl, growing through the cracks 
Where nothing beautiful should survive 
You bloomed anyway, despite it all 
And somehow kept this fool alive


Fugitive
