Lyrics
UNDER THE ELEPHANT © Kevin Glancy
I knew there'd be a moment when I'd be out of there - too much too leave but not enough to care - now all our trying's done, all our lying's done - it was easier to let go...
Now when heavens let you down, all the losers go to ground - underneath the elephant... it all lies here - everything we've done lies here - every time we kissed lies here - everything I miss lies here
Underneath the elephant - no longer relevant - the weight of two lost souls sitting heavy on my shoulders....
Now time has slipped away, but we've still got so much to say
We've had time to think about it - learned to live without it, when it was easier to let go...
You know when heaven's let you down, all the losers go to ground - underneath the elephant...it all lies here - everything we've done lies here - every time we kissed lies here - everything I miss lies here
Underneath the elephant - no longer relevant - the weight of two lost souls sitting heavy on my shoulders....
Now I want luck to be on my side - for the very first time in my life - God knows I've made mistakes and I'm carrying all the weight - how much longer does it take before I learn how to escape...
Yes! When heaven's going to let you down, all the losers go to ground - Yes! when heaven's going to let you down, all the losers go to ground
Under the elephant - Under the elephant - Under the elephant - Under the elephant
All of the times gone by - all the regrets that play on my mind
The memories I cherish - the friends long gone
The decisions I'd change so I could move on
Yeh! Everything you've said lies here - Every time we touched lies here
All of the times gone by - all the regrets that play on my mind
The memories I cherish - the friends long gone
The decisions I'd change so I could move on
Yeh! Everything you've said lies here - Every time we touched lies here
Yeh! All of the risks we should have taken
All of the time that we both wasted
Everything we said lies here
