Heart of Nowhere (feat. Anna Calvi)

Your parents hide

They live in fear

They’re lying restless as the dawn gets near

You wanna live

You wanna try

You hear the whisper of the world outside

So take a chance and leave tonight

Sarah’s waiting in a car outside

You bumped the door

Your father wakes

You let your anger and your sadness break

And when you turn around, he’s laid down on the ground

And now you’re standing with your finger on the pulse

And then an open door, two footsteps on the floor

And now you’re standing with your finger on the pulse

It’s Sarah’s face, her worried eyes

Pulls back the door and gently steps inside

The nighttime with a charcoal grin

The false diamonds on her pallid skin

And when she turns around, he’s laid down on the ground

And now you’re standing with your finger on the pulse

And then an open door, two footsteps on the floor

And now you’re standing with your finger on the pulse

If I don’t belong by you

I don’t belong anywhere

You know I’d follow you

To the heart of nowhere

It’s just two kinds of people

God-fearer and the godless, cowards and the faithless

And I would stand by you
