Josh Pyke Lines On Palms Lyrics

sometimes i know i become
all that’s weak in a man
and weak in a boy

but i keep trying and i won't quit
that must be worth something more
than a strong man who believes
that there’s nothing left to try for

and i can be cold, i know, i know
but a woman is a warm breath
on the back of your neck
and a warm belly pressed against yours

oh, we need to feel
the sum of all our parts
are more than what’s laid out
in lines upon our palms
although our hands aren’t tied
we move as though they are

until we’re bound by branching out

and there’s one house in every town
that everyone fears and everyone steers clear
well i don’t wanna live like that
i wanna live somehwhere more like you

by the sea
where the cliffs keep sentry watching over me

and it can get rough out there, i know
but a woman is a sail that remains unfurled
so stay ahead of the wind man,
or you won’t catch her

oh, we need to feel
the sum of all our parts
are more than what’s laid out
in lines upon our palms
although our hands aren’t tied
we move as though they are
until we’re bound by branching out

and sometimes i know where i am
and what i’m doing and what things might become
but that always seems such a fleeting state
for the remainder of the time i feel that i
am a babe in the woods howling for deliverance

and i can be cold, i know, i know
but a woman is a warm breath
on the back of your neck
and a warm belly pressed against yours
