Kirby - Daphne Loves Derby

Trembling knees, I always dream about a deadly earthquake

That shakes the state.

Smoke and flames always make it oh

So hard to speak and see.

I can’t escape.

Wait for me.

I’m so afraid, but you always seem so secure, and oh so sure.

I’m so sorry, but everything I keep close to me runs away.

It’s such a shame.

I’ll hide amongst the trees, and breathe

So quietly until the sun comes out.

Until the morning comes.

So many things scare me,

Like when shadows dance amongst the trees.

I’ve got the skin and bones to stand and say so many

Things to you.

Oh but I lack the guts to hold my weight and

Keep my blood so calm.

Trembling knees, I always dream about a deadly earthquake

That shakes the state.

Smoke and flames always make it oh

So hard to speak and see.

I can’t escape.

I’ll hide amonst the trees,

And breathe so quietly until the sun comes out.

Until the morning comes.

So many things scare me,

Like when shadows dance amongst the trees.

And when the ground all breaks, I’ll just run away.

I’m sorry i still haven’t changed.

I’ll trade my veins for your nerves.

Maybe then I’ll stay strong.

(Chorus repeats)
