Lyrics
Unbound
VERSE
A9 Em9 A9 Em9
I wear a braver face than many of my friends
A9 Em9 C D
I float and turn my eyes up to the stars
A9 Em9 A9 Em9
Dreaming of the day I’ll be with you again,
A9 Em9 C D A9 Em9 A9 Em9
Conjuring a way to change the course of Mars.
Weeks pass by and still there is no end in sight.
Each day like an empty page before me.
I fill empty pages with the words I write,
But talking to myself begins to bore me.
BRIDGE
D F A9 Em9
Time slips away
D F A9 Em9
I’m tired of holding on
D F A9 Em9
Night after day
D F A9 Em9 A9 Em9
Blank spaces on and on and on and on
CHORUS
G9 A9*
I drop into empty spaces,
G9 A9*
Far from the crowd.
G9 A9*
Wounds only time erases
G9 C D A9 Em9 A9 Em9
Close, and I’m unbound.
VERSE
Sometimes I think I may never leave this place,
Surprised to find that I’m not even bothered,
Even by the fading memory of your face,
Another absence I can leave un-pondered.
BRIDGE
Time slips away.
I’m falling in myself.
Night after day,
There’s me and no one, no one, no one, no one else.
CHORUS
I drop into empty spaces,
Drift further down.
Bonds only time unlaces
Loose, and I’m unbound, unbound
