Unbroken Songtext

von Missy Higgins

Red handprint on the white of your cheek,
Pack your bags quiet while the lion sleeps.
Watch your mother put her name to the line,
Next to the place where your fathers signed.
And inevitably what you used to be will succumb to the pull of gravity and you will never,
No you will never see with virgin eyes again...

Cos this is the day that everything changes and your world stops turning.
Running, straight into the brake lights you've come to nothing.
This is the day that everything changes and your worlds collide,
But know in time you wake to find you're a little unbroken.

Hold the answer to the light to see your future.
Two line, blue line tragedy.
He brings the metal to the fire for the first time, tells you it's the last time – and it will be.

Cos inevitably, what you used to be will be tainted by the hand of curiosity,
And you will never, no you will never see with virgin eyes again…

Cos this is the day that everything changes and your world stops turning.
Running straight into the brake lights you’ve come to nothing.
This is the day that everything changes and your worlds collide,
But know in time you'll wake to find you’re a little unbroken.

How can I explain the isolated rain that follows you?
But wouldn’t you agree running always slows you down.
So welcome the pain,
Stop yourself from delaying it because the real life will never go away.

Cos this is the day, that everything changes and your world stops turning.
Running straight into the brake lights you've come to nothing.

This is the day that everything changes and your worlds collide,
But know in time you’ll wake to find you're a little unbroken.
You're a little unbroken
