Bigger Than Me - Gretta Ray

My house is a hotel room in the inner city of a place I don’t know well

But I’m shown the ropes, to try to tame the vertigo

Morning is a runway, speed, thirty thousand feet

I’m living sky-high

On to the next thing, and so it goes

I entertain rest, but I don’t

When you think like you dream

Nothing’s an impossibility

Through a particoloured lens is how I see

And never too far out of reach

I feel a force waiting patiently

Ready to take the lead

'Cause it’s bigger than me

This love hit without a warning

Took control and it has dawned on me that it’s all I need

This is bigger than me

This love will never be a makeshift state of mind

Held hostage, not an off switch that one could find you see

For this is bigger than me

My work is a night shift spent stood underneath lights so blinding

But all-inspiring immersed in sound

While elevated above the ground

My view is a human sea

Though the water’s rough, it’s unoffending and never ending with a roar so loud

I live in awe in the here and now

When you think like you dream

Nothing’s an impossibility

Tend to the beast I feed

'Cause it’s bigger than me

This love hit without a warning

Took control and it has dawned on me that it’s all I need

This is bigger than me

This love will never be a makeshift state of mind

Held hostage, not an off switch that one could find you see

For this is bigger than me

Held hostage

No off switch

Held hostage

No off switch

When you think like you dream

Nothing’s an impossibility

Tend to the beast I feed

This love hit without a warning

Took control and it has dawned on me that it’s all I need

This is bigger than me

This love will never be a makeshift state of mind

Held hostage, not an off switch that one could find you see

For this is bigger than me

Held hostage

No off switch

Held hostage

No off switch
