Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, you could stand there waitin' for a rainy day
Close up your heart and hide your dancin' shoes away
And cut yourself with your mistakes
Leave all hope lyin' in a line of chalk
Everything you need's disguised in double-talk
So wound yourself and let it ache
But if you're waitin' for somethin' to bring you out
[Verse 2]
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
Lift your head up high
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
Lift your head up high
[Verse 3]
It's all little pieces, still there's nothin' left
All just debris of your former self
Just take a breath for your own sake
And if you're waitin' for somethin' to bring you out
[Verse 4]
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
Lift your head up high
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
Lift your head up high
[Verse 5]
And are you caught between the lines?
Did no one see you fall behind?
[Verse 6]
I'm calling out, I'm calling out your name
So lift your head up, yeah, lift your head up high
Yeah, lift your head up, go on, lift your head up high
I'm always by your side
Yeah, lift your head up, go on, lift your head up high
I'm always by your side
Yeah, lift your head up, go on, lift your head up high
