Giants - Matt Nathanson

I don’t want to see the wires in the circus anymore

I wanna dream and make believe people can fly

I don’t need to be reminded what it takes to kill the fun

I got a head full of sharp knives.

Yeah, it’s easy to get colder and it’s easy to forget

So meet me when the lights dim

We can wake up every morning, we can set ourselves on fire

We can do it all again.

The world don’t speak for us.

They lack the confidence

Yeah, we’re only hearts and bones and blood.

But we are giant.

Giants

The walls are closing in

We climb and they descend

With nothing but the clouds against our skin

We are giant.

I want to roll around the darkness, til the darkness goes away

Til the television finally tells the truth.

You know,

Everybody’s scared of things that they don’t understand

And all the living they don’t do.

It’s easy to get colder.

It’s easy to forget

So meet me when the lights dim

We can wake up every morning, we can set ourselves on fire

We can do it all again.

I’m done trying to fit in

And be half forgiven

For things that I never did

We’re more than what scares us

We’re final and fearless

We’ll dance where the ice gets thin
