downstairs to the sun

Singer:katie melua

can't say what came over me

i wasn't what i used to be

hadn't seen how i lost control

and i always thought that i was strong

but one night

one situation

one sign

one devastation

i could have said no to the walk

listened instead of just talked

and i dreamed that i had screamed

i could have run

downstairs to the sun

it's not what you did to me

it's the fact that i didn't fight you back

and it seems i had lost my voice

the one that always made the right choice

'cause two nights

two situations

two signs

two devastations

i could have said no to the walk

listened instead of just talked

and i dreamed that i had screamed

i could have run

downstairs to the sun

but now the cup is no longer cold

as the rain trickles down i feel a bold

and time is calling me to set myself free

concession is the key and knowing what you don't see

i could have said no to the walk

listened instead of just talked

and i dreamed that i had screamed

i could have run

downstairs to the sun

i could have run

downstairs to the sun
