Back & Forth

Lanae' Hale Back & Forth Lyrics
1.Back & Forth

Well, it's easier to take
when it's easy not to break
But set the enemy on fire
and feel the flames grow higher and higher and higher

If I could, than I would run across the sea
So you'd speak to me

Back and forth, the waves keep crashing
Hold on, my head, I keep on sinking
I need your hand to steady me
to bring your peace to this storm
'cause back and forth
Yeah, oh, oh

Well, it's easy not to care,
when apathy poisons the air
Well, on the surface it seems calm
But underneath war rages on and on and on

If I could, than I would run across the sea
So you'd speak to me

Back and forth, the waves keep crashing
Hold on, my head, I keep on sinking
I need your hand to steady me
to bring your peace to this storm
'cause back and forth

You are rain falling hard on my shoulders,
I lift my head, and don't let go
Feel the tide growing high as I get older,
I lift my head and don't let go
Feel the waves rolling over and over,
I lift my head and I don't let go
'Cause you're my light when the dark gets colder,
So take my hand and don't let go
Don't let go-oh

If I could, than I would run across the sea
So you'd speak to me, So you'd speak to me

Back and forth, the waves keep crashing
Hold on, my head, I keep on sinking
I need your hand to steady me
to bring your peace to this storm
'cause back and forth

You are rain falling hard on my shoulders,
I lift my head, and don't let go
Feel the tide growing high as I get older,
I lift my head and don't let go
Feel the waves rolling over and over,
I lift my head and I don't let go
'Cause you're my light when the dark gets colder,
So take my hand and don't let go


2.Beautiful Things

Work my fingers to the bones
Learn to live to forget and let go
Sometimes the faces of the past come back
It gets easy to ignore
When hope has been restore

So now I,
I can sing in the rain
I can love without pain
I can live everyday
With these Beautiful, beautiful things
Finally feel my heart beating
Let my lungs breath deeply
all my tears turned to dreams
of beautiful, beautiful things

Temptation holds the key
To what you think you want or need
Well it takes a stronger man to stand
And learn from the past
But never go

So now I,
I can sing in the rain
I can love without pain
I can live everyday
With these Beautiful, beautiful things
Finally feel my heart beating
Let my lungs breath deeply
all my tears turned to dreams
of beautiful, beautiful things

Regretful heartbreaks
Well it shatters the soul
But after tearful mistakes
A mournful heart may grow
And then let go

I can sing in the rain
I can love without pain
I can live everyday
With these Beautiful, beautiful things
Finally feel my heart beating
Let my lungs breath deeply
all my tears turned to dreams
of beautiful, beautiful things
I can sing in the rain
I can love without pain
I can live everyday
With these Beautiful, beautiful things
Finally feel my heart beating
Let my lungs breath deeply
all my tears turned to dreams
of beautiful, beautiful things


3.Here's My Heart

Hear the notes they're ringing
Through the air I'm breathing
I think I've heard this song before
In my head, In my head
Feel the room it's swaying
Slowly dancing with me
I fall asleep to the words
In my head, In my head

Sweet redemption find me
Hold me, keep me, blind me
With the truth of Your love
In my head, In my head
Lead me to the still steams
Where my heart breaks then bleeds
Then let peace heal the wounds
In my head

Here's my heart, Here's my heart
Search every part
And know me well and
Change me deeply
Here's my heart, It's dying to start
Clear all the dark broken pieces and
Make me whole again

Feel the sun it's rising
Gently, warmly finding
My soul whispering the words
In my head, In my head
Slowly stir from dreaming
My heart joins in this singing
Loud and deep calling out
In my head

Here's my heart, Here's my heart
Search every part
And know me well and
Change me deeply
Here's my heart, It's dying to start
Clear all the dark broken pieces and
Make me whole again

One step, then another
Shatter all I am to bring me closer to you
One step, then another
Shatter all I am to bring me closer to you

Here's my heart, Here's my heart
Search every part
And know me well and
Change me deeply
Here's my heart, It's dying to start
Clear all the dark broken pieces and
Here's my heart, Here's my heart
Here's my heart, It's dying to start


4.Burning Heartbeats

Count the corners
Where the shadows fall
Deep inside my heart
Illuminate them all
Strike a match to melt
The deadly cold
Holy fire fall
Consume my soul

Burning Heartbeats
Bringing me closer to You
Flames spark
Refining starts and
Fire fans
My failure into gold

Refining process
Uproots the core
Looks like a bigger mess
Than what it did before
But thermic swells work to expose
All the hidden parts within my soul

Burning Heartbeats
Bringing me closer to You
Flames spark
Refining starts and
Fire fans
My failure into gold

Let the old man fall let him burn away
Let the new man rise to the new day
Leave the ashes on the floor there to decay
And let this new dawn carry your new heart away

Burning Heartbeats
Bringing me closer to You
Flames spark
Refining starts and
Fire fans
My failure into gold
Burning Heartbeats
Bringing me closer to You
Flames spark
Refining starts and
Fire fans
My failure into gold


5.Let's Grow Old Together

Right turn fall down
You're there to pick me off the ground
And I can't tell ya how you've turned my world around
You come closer your blue eyes
Have won me over and
I'll never be the same without ya
Here with me through the sun and the rain
I thought you should know that you're my hero

Let's grow old together
With my heart in your hands and your hands holding mine
We'll face the world together
Cause you are the one I've been waiting to find
It's no secret, so I can't keep it
Cause it's true
Baby, I love you

Long day Come home
When you're there I never feel alone
And my cares melt away into your arms again
Your smile takes me
Just awhile to remind myself to breathe
Cause your still the most amazing thing I've ever seen
I thought you should know that you'll always be my hero

Let's grow old together
With my heart in your hands and your hands holding mine
We'll face the world together
Cause you are the one I've been waiting to find
It's no secret, so I can't keep it
Cause it's true
Baby, I love you

Years turn us gray but my heart still jumps when you're next to
me
I feel so safe cause you're still by my side on those cloudy
days and
I'm so amazed byyou

Let's grow old together
With my heart in your hands and your hands holding mine
We'll face the world together
Cause you are the one I've been waiting to find
It's no secret, so I can't keep it
Cause it's true
Baby, I love you


6.It's Over

Stay mindful of the road they said
There's a few blind turns as you exit out of this place
I smiled apprehensively
But packed all of my things
And let the clouds of dust bid farewell

I rolled all my windows down and let the
Cold air numb my finger tips
Keeping time with every beat of my favorite song
Still thoughts of where I belong
Mark every mile past

It's over (3x)
Forget it and drive on
Cause sometimes things go wrong
When life's out of my hands
And over my head

Watch the sun set beneath the sky
As the state lines are growing closer every hour
I stopped for a minute or two with thoughts of losing you
But force my faith to fight my fears

It's over (3x)
Forget it and drive on
Cause sometimes things go wrong
When life's out of my hands
It's over (3x)
Forget it and drive on
Cause sometimes things go wrong
When life's out of my hands
And over my head
It's over (3x)


7.If I'm Broken

Melt Down
Everything is getting darker now
As I fall

Call out
Trying desperately to hear a sound
But there's no word

If my days are few,
whatever breath is left I give to You

If I'm broken or my body is whole
These hands are Yours
These feet are Yours
If I'm broken or my body is whole
These tears are Yours
These scars are Yours
Until You carry my broken body home

Slow down
Everything is getting blurry now
And I can't move

Get out
All the lies that try to creep around
Devouring truth

If my days are few,
whatever breath is left I give to You

If I'm broken or my body is whole
These hands are Yours
These feet are Yours
If I'm broken or my body is whole
These tears are Yours
These scars are Yours
Until You carry my broken body home

You've been with me through it all
So I won't let fear make me crawl
Here I am, here I am
You give this heartbeat the strength
To stay alive and sing for Your name
Here I am (x3)

If I'm broken or my body is whole
These hands are Yours
These feet are Yours
If I'm broken or my body is whole
These tears are Yours
These scars are Yours
Until You carry my broken body home


8.Here's To The Girls

You think you're forgotten and that Life's a joke
When your love was stolen a child's lifetime ago
You make your way through another crowded place
To give up more just to forget the pain
But you don't know that you're not alone

Here's to the girls
Who carry the world but will never tell
Here's to the girls
Who deny any tear that ever fell
Everyday her shadows fight to choke her soul
Here's to the girls
Who don't know they're beautiful
They're more than beautiful

Laugh it off like life's all a game
But deep inside the jokes just hide the shame
You've heard the stories of a faithful one
And silently pray your heart's not to un-done
But you don't know that you're not alone

Here's to the girls
Who carry the world but will never tell
Here's to the girls
Who deny any tear that ever fell
Everyday her shadows fight to choke her soul
Here's to the girls
Who don't know they're beautiful
They're more than beautiful

Here's to all the girls
Broken down and alone in the world
You hide behind life's battle scars
But it doesn't define who you are

Here's to the girls
Who carry the world but will never tell
Here's to the girls
Who deny any tear that ever fell
Everyday her shadows fight to choke her soul
Here's to the girls
Who don't know they're beautiful
They're more than beautiful ..


9.Estranged

Bloodshot eyes and a curious gaze
Into the night think of life and faith
Trying hard to keep my soul awake
I'm feeling lost in this crowded place

You don't go, You don't fade
You're steady and inchanged
My constant in this place
Where I'm estranged
When I fall, my bones break
I'll never be the same
When I hear my savior say
That I'm not estranged
Estranged

Trapped within this transient skin
Constant fight to keep my light burnin'
A call to spread love along the way
So I'll endure this humble highway

You don't go, You don't fade
You're steady and inchanged
My constant in this place
Where I'm estranged
When I fall, my bones break
I'll never be the same
When I hear my savior say
That I'm not estranged
Estranged

Just people passing through
This world to get to You where
We're not strangers,
We're not strangers
And when these ties are gone
We will be headed on Where
We're not strangers
We're not strangers
We're not strangers

You don't go, You don't fade
You're steady and inchanged
My constant in this place
Where I'm estranged
When I fall, my bones break
I'll never be the same
When I hear my savior say
That I'm not estranged
Estranged


10.Headed Home

Well it's sad but true
Darlin' I had to leave you
You gave me nothin' but a
Heartbreak and a headache
It's time to take my tears
And drive back home
Where buffalos never roam

And the shoreline greets my heart
And moon shares the sky with the stars

I'm headed home
I'm headed home
Gonna find me a good man
Who'll love me like I should've been all along
Now I'm gone
I'm headed home

Well you made your bed
And now you don't want to sleep in it
But don't drag me through your heartache
Cause of your mistakes
I've got my own heart to tend to
And doesn't belong to you

You see I fell in love with a man
And he's got my heart I'm gonna marry him

And it feels like home
It feels like home
You see I found me a good man
Who loves me like I should've been all along
Now I'm gone
And it feels like home


11.Don't Cry

Write a book bout the times that
You've held your head in your hands
and you've cried
For poverty to end
Oh no (x3)

Feel the weight of the air
Fall upon your chest
It's getting hard to believe
When life's such a mess
Oh no (x3)

Apathy will set in soon
If you don't believe
When you fight you can't lose
Oh no, you can't lose, oh no


Try to stand
But your feet keep falling down
Muscles weak, atrophied
By the chill of the ground
Oh no (x3)

Apathy will set in soon
If you don't believe
When you fight you can't lose

....

Apathy will set in soon
If you don't believe
When you fight you can't lose

....


12.Break My Fall

Seems simple enough
When everyone is gone
And the halls are empty
And my song remains unsung

Take a second to breathe
Hope for change, a breakthrough
Begin to pray for relief
From lies that silence the truth

Would You break my fall
Even though I don't deserve it at all
Would You call my name
And heal the wounds of lonely days
When lost love mocks the heart and stains the soul
Makes it hard
Could you make these pieces into something beautiful?
I wanna be beautiful

In the midst of it all
Try to regain composure
By first confessing this fall
That proves my need for a savior

Would You break my fall
Even though I don't deserve it at all
Would You call my name
And heal the wounds of lonely days
When lost love mocks the heart and stains the soul
Makes it hard
Could you make these pieces into something beautiful?
Would You break my fall
Even though I don't deserve it at all
Would You call my name
And heal the wounds of lonely days
When lost love mocks the heart and stains the soul
Makes it hard
Could you make these pieces into something beautiful?
I wanna be beautiful


13.Quiet Place

Silent war is declared
Vision fails when the soul's impaired
Noises numb the mind and
Love grows cold with time
If nothing fills the empty hole
That every human heart knows

So I will wait for you
Till fire burns, the earthquakes,
and the waves are few
Cause silence is where you like to stay
So here I am I'm waiting for You
In this quiet place

Running hard to ignore
The lonely places you've been before
But you feel time is slipping
And there's still so much you're missing
And to heal means tears must show
But you're not weak to just let go

So I will wait for you
Till fire burns, the earthquakes,
and the waves are few
Cause silence is where you like to stay
So here I am I'm waiting for You
In this quiet place

I believe
I'm in need
So dear sweet savior
Come rescue me
