Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
[Verse 2]
And sundowns are golden
Then fade away
And if I never do nothing
I'm coming back someday
[Verse 3]
'Cause you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
[Verse 4]
All around your island
There's a barricade
That keeps out the danger
Holds in the pain
[Verse 5]
But sometimes you're happy
And sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky
[Verse 6]
But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
[Verse 7]
And some things are over
Some things go on
Part of me you carry
And part of me is gone
[Verse 8]
But you got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
[Verse 9]
You got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down
