letra de old walls - callum orr

Loading...

[verse 1]
i am standing aghast at the canvas in front of me
that hangs in the back of the national gallery
on this pilgrimage to places where you would stand next to me
i cannot help but feel lost

but for some brushstrokes that constitute a man
old and dying in an oversized suit
and i felt old and shabby, much the same as him
when i’d stand next to you

there’s a dignity that’s borne in his pose
pride, ossified in spite of the end
and i felt jealousy form in the folds of me
when i’d stand next to you

[chorus]
as you built them brick by brick
and now i’m surrounded by, by it
these old walls that are back up around me now
these old walls that are back up around me now

[verse 2]
i’ll break him out through the brick
carry him to the shores of france
in one last gasp of life in this cosmic comedy
we’ll sew the missing joinery
make our way south to provence
in the autumn
right down at the bottom
of it all, of it all, of it all

we’ll walk the fields in the sun
and i’ll pick a sprig or two and toss it to the wind
and i’ll stop and think of you with every whispering of it

[chrous]
i’ll hope we’ll both escape
this integument you’ve made for us
these old walls that are back up around me now
these old walls that are back up around me now
oh these old walls that are back up around me now
these old walls that are back up around me now

[outro]
i am standing aghast at the canvas in front of me
that hangs in the back of the national gallery
on this pilgrimage to places, loosening up your grip on me
i cannot help but grow strong
