Be Here

Rachel Platten Be Here Lyrics
1.Nothing Ever Happens

She dreams of where she's never been,
A story starts where it should end
She keeps a bible close
And folds the pages down she needs the most.

Her faded walls are closing in,
So in her head, she leaves again
They've painted ceilings blue and green,
And brilliant colors she's never seen

But nothing ever happens if you stay in your room
Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon
Never be a winner if you're not in the game
And nothing ever happens if you always play it safe
Make a little space
And get out of your own way

A ticket out sits on her shelf
And gathers dust upon itself
Cause chasing chance is for the brave
Maybe soon she'll feel that way

But nothing ever happens if you stay in your room
And nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon
Nothing ever happens if you don't get hurt
And nothing ever happens if you never get dirty
Make a little space
And go on, get out, go on get out

Leave what you don't need
You're free, and the pieces will fall into place
You and you only, who can make a little space and
And get out of your own way

She sees the sunlight through the cracks,
It's only her who holds her back
And so she takes her deepest breath,
Shuts the door and walks down the steps

And nothing ever happens if you stay in your room
Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon
Never be a winner if you're not in the game
And nothing ever happens if you always play it safe
Make a little space
And get out of your own
Oh get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
Oh get out of your own way
Get out of your own way


2.Overwhelmed

We make patterns out of stars
And we whisper little prayers
To be somewhere that we're not
If we're good it will take us there

But then the light comes through the dark
And our questions fall apart
It's just the beating of our hearts
And the still of the midnight air

And I get so overwhelmed till it's hard to tell
What I'm thinking

We get down down down
We feel sorry for ourselves
We get down down down
We all need somebody's help
Let's get loud loud loud till there's love and nothing else
Cause the more that we give the more that comes back around

So we hide away our hurts
And put band aids on our fears
And we lie to all our friends
Move along there's no problems here
But then the orchestra will start
And the violins appear
And a simple little melody has us fighting tears

And I get so overwhelmed till it's hard to tell
What I'm thinking

We get down down down
We feel sorry for ourselves
We get down down down
We all need somebody's help
Let's get loud loud loud till there's love and nothing else
Cause the more that we give the more that comes back around
The more that we give the more that comes back around

But the hardest part is the way things are
And how quickly fingers will bleed
And the grace we need's not in magazines,
It's just space, in between, when we breathe

I am down down down I feel sorry for myself
I am down down down and I need somebody's help
Let's get loud loud loud till there's love and nothing else
Cause the more that we give, the more that comes back

Down down down
We feel sorry for ourselves
We get down down down
We all need somebody's help
Let's get loud loud loud till there's love and nothing else
Cause the more that we give the more that comes back around
The more that we give the more that comes back around
The more that we give the more that comes back around


3.Don't Care What Time It Is

Poets and painters and daytime escapers
Tell us a story of what we once knew
Paint us a picture of some great excuse
Cause we lost the truth, when we stopped the music

We are everything we own, right?
And the second that we don't fight
Is the moment that we own life
Keep it up, keep it up, oh

We don't care what time it is
No one here is fightin' this
If the DJ keeps on finding hits
We could keep this going for days

We don't care what time it is
No one here is fightin' this
If the DJ keeps on finding hits
We could keep this going for days

With our feet in the sand and sea in our hands we don't stop
We remember to drink in everything and it's easy when the beat
drops
We pulse and we sway and keep morning away from here
Cause nothing exists but love on our lips and beat on our hips
The only real moment is this

Oh, love what we got because love is a lot
Life fools us into thinking that we're broke but we're not
Bring your body in to the beach again
Recognize the moment that you're free again

You are everything we own,
And the second that you don't fight
Is the moment that you own life
Keep it up, keep it up, oh

We don't care what time it is
No one here is fightin' this
If the DJ keeps on finding hits
We could keep this going for days

We don't care what time it is
No one here is fightin' this
If the DJ keeps on finding hits
We could keep this going for days

With our feet in the sand and sea in our hands we don't stop
We remember to drink in everything and it's easy when the beat
drops
We pulse and we sway and keep morning away from here
Cause nothing exists but love on our lips and beat on our hips
The only real moment is this

So they lead you to the beach again
Heat is getting to your head you think
Someone pulls you in and the lights are dim
But you recognize the rhythm crawling through your skin and

You are everything you own, right?
So the second that you don't fight
Is the moment that you own life
Keep it up, keep it up, oh

We don't care what time it is
No one here is fightin' this
If the DJ keeps on finding hits
We could keep this going for days

We don't care what time it is
No one here is fightin' this
If the DJ keeps on finding hits
We could keep this going for days

With our feet in the sand and sea in our hands we don't stop
We remember to drink in everything and it's easy when the beat
drops
We pulse and we sway and keep morning away from here
Cause nothing exists but love on our lips and beat on our hips
The only real moment is this


4.53 Steps

I am 53 steps from my apartment
I have memorized the cracks that age the road
I couldn't quite grasp what my heart meant
But I think that it was telling me to go

Now I'm going up down spinning round trying to communicate
But these words aren't quite what I'm trying to say
I'm coming close, close close
I feel it in my toes toes toes

There's a light that shines when I'm on the road
There's a brand new sky that I need to go
I'm reading signs signs signs and I'm I'm I'm seeing patterns in
the snow
As the road leads me into the great unknown

17 blocks from the station
And 48 stops from the coast
I could jump with all my clothes on in the ocean
And let the water rock me in her throws

And go up down spin round leave it up to fate
Like some sailor finding comfort in the waves
I'm coming close, close close
I feel it in my toes toes toes

There's a light that shines when I'm on the road
There's a brand new sky where I need to go
I'm reading signs signs signs and I'm I'm I'm seeing patterns in
the snow
As I walk into the great unknown

I feel it in my toes, I know I'm coming close
So I'll leave this old town with her saints and her ghosts
I'm coming close close close,
The signs say I need to go

There's a light that shines when I'm on the road
There's a brand new sky where I need to go
I'm reading signs signs signs and I'm I'm I'm seeing patterns in
the snow
As I walk into the great unknown
As I walk into the great unknown
As I walk into the great unknown


5.Little Light

Looking for a little light to illuminate
The truth in the stillness after everything is blown away
Life fades in the cuts and the struggles
I just need a light at the end of the tunnel

Look up
Do the lines on your face cut a little bit deeper
I know you're not feeling very young
So tired
Stuck in the place and you don't wanna be here
I know
Voices call you in the night...
Come away! Come away!

Just looking for a little light to illuminate
The truth in the stillness after everything is blown away
Life fades in the cuts and the struggles
I just need a light at the end of the tunnel
A little light to illuminate
The truth in the stillness after everything is blown away
Life fades in the cuts and the struggles
I just need a light at the end of the tunnel

Hey now
From the wells of your eyes comes a deep frustration
Sometimes it can seem so hard to try
Everyday is a need for money you bleed
You're lonely when there's someone beside you
I know
That in these arms you'll find...
All of this will pass

Just looking for a little light to illuminate
The truth in the stillness after everything is blown away
Life fades in the cuts and the struggles
I just need a light at the end of the tunnel
A little light to illuminate
The truth in the stillness after everything is blown away
Life fades in the cuts and the struggles
I just need a light at the end of the tunnel

Cause everybody needs a harbor in the tempest
A reason to believe you're more than what you have
Even more than what you had
Cause all of this will pass...

Looking for a little light to illuminate
The truth in the stillness after everything is blown away
Life fades in the cuts and the struggles
I just need a light at the end of the tunnel
A little light to illuminate
The truth in the stillness after everything is blown away
Life fades in the cuts and the struggles
I just need a light at the end of the tunnel
A little light to illuminate
The truth in the stillness after everything is blown away
Life fades in the cuts and the struggles
I just need a light at the end of the tunnel


6.1,000 Ships

I'd go beyond our fighting borders if you needed that from me
I'd march with decorated soldiers to get your pretty eyes to see
Well I would bring your morning coffee then I'd wrap you up in
me
I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders, cover blankets on our
feet

So slow down, there's some kind of blessing here
But you have missed your cue

So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining,
Where I know it'd find you soon

Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you,
But my messages don't seem to make it through

Well I would bring your morning coffee then I'd wrap you up in
me
I'd kiss your belly and your shoulders, cover blankets on our
feet

But slow down, there's some sort of blessing here
But you've gone and missed your cue

So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining,
Where I know it'd find you soon

Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you,
But my messages don't seem to make it through

Well money and fame they are a losing game
And I know those pretty actresses are calling your name,
But I'll be here waiting,

So keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining,
Where I know it'd find you soon

Keep your eyes set on the horizon
On the line where blue meets blue
And I would let that silver lining in,
Where I know it'd find you soon

Cause I have sailed a 1000 ships to you,
But my messages don't seem to make it through


7.Take These Things Away

I want someone to know my favorite ice cream
I want someone to laugh when I act like I'm thirteen
I need someone to stay till I can fall asleep
Make being awake like living in a dream

And at the end of everyday no one can take these things away
We all want love and that's okay,
Maybe there's someone.
When my song has slipped away
And the darkness swallows the day
Another one's not very far away, so baby just hold on.
Baby just hold on

I want somewhere to go when it's too noisy in my head
Verbal vertigo I need to hear my voice instead
I need some way to lose this fear of falling down
Cause I can still dance when my feet are on the ground

And at the end of everyday no one can take these things away
We all want love and that's okay,
Maybe there's someone.
When my song has slipped away
And the darkness swallows the day
Another one's not very far away, so baby just hold on.
Baby just hold on

If you could see behind my eyes
Indigo and ivory
Overwhelmed in outer space
Spinning round and round and chasing
Fairy tales and shooting stars
How I wonder where we are
In this life we'll be alright
All we gotta do is hold on tight

At the end of everyday no one can take these things away
We all want love and that's okay,
Maybe there's someone.
When my song has slipped away
And the darkness swallows the day
Another one's not very far away, so baby just hold on.
Just hold on
