Skipping Stones - Sultan + Shepard

I was just a brittle stone Buried in the earth alone Wondering if I'd ever leave the ground Then one day a passerby Threw me over the lake and I Skipped and for a moment I could fly Oh why, oh why? Oh why, oh why? I ran back to find your hand Hoping you'd throw me again And that was when we rose into the air Now we're both just fireflies Staring up at starry skies Doing all we can, shine a light Oh why, oh why? Oh why, oh why? Oh why, oh why? Oh why, oh why?

I remember myself going to your house How we painted the walls as if they were ours It's on me How to carry myself It's on me To carry myself But how can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna see me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? Is it just me doubting the unknown? Great minds or great hearts, great souls? It's on me How to carry myself It's on me To carry myself But how can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna see me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? How can I be your love If you don't wanna hold me? Maybe I'm your skipping stone Maybe I'm your skipping stone Maybe I'm your skipping stone Maybe I'm your skipping stone

Less a lover, more a fighter But I'm tired of fighting to hold on Got too many scars to hide 'em So it's easier being on my own But you Shoot first, draw blood, before I know Yeah, you One shot, one touch, and I let go How did this happen? My walls were up and You moved without a sound Never imagined, like an assassin One look took me How did this happen? My walls were up and You moved without a sound Never imagined, like an assassin Yeah, one look took me down Down, down, down, down down, down Yeah, one look took me down Down, down, down, down, down, down Yeah, one look took me Yeah, one look took me Yeah, one look took me

La la la la la la la la... La la la la la la la la... I've been thinking I've been thinking, I've been thinking too much I just want to live now for a little while And cast my dreams to the wind Don't wanna wonder Don't wanna wonder what it's all about I'm just working for a living singing with my friends As I cast my dreams to the wind Maryland, I'm coming home Never worry about what I did wrong And that I'll never be what my daddy wanted me to be And I'll never see what my mama's dreams were But I will sing La la la la la la la la... La la la la la la la la... I wanna fly I wanna fly down the highway to my home away from home This funky funky club on Fairfax Avenue to see you And I'll never give up Because what is there to give up anyway I'm just working for a living working for my pay In Maryland it's raining somewhere in some cafe Maryland, I'm coming home Never worry about what I did wrong And that I'll never be what my daddy wanted me to be And I'll never see what my mama's dreams were But I can sing La la la la la la la la... La la la la la la la la... La la la la la la la la... La la la la la la la la...
