A Second In White Lyrics - Hitch - The Joy Formidable

You're young and your spirit's not broken 

I rest in the eyes where I see myself back 

I'm a shape in the shadow of your free dreaming 

All these shapes, all these arrows to the places I've been 

Move aside 

This town where I gloss the walls of failing 

Soak the red sunset, try and warm this chill 

I'm a pattern out of the place that runs uneven 

All these patterns, so impassioned 

by a place that makes me tired 

Move aside 

I had a second in white 

This flash, this flash outside the dark 

Then chance hurried on 

I had a second in white 

Let me tell you why 

If you make something the only thing 

That there's no life without it 

It's your air, your light and your food 

It's been the filler of all your wounds 

Losing that I thought would be darkest day 

but then I heard the birds sing after the storm 

And they sang it's you, you have it all now, what will you do? 

I had a second in white 

Move, move aside 

Move aside 

It's not gonna stay 

This flash, this flash outside the dark 

then chance hurried on 

I had a second in white
