Anchor Chasing (EP)

Taylor Berrett Anchor Chasing (EP) Lyrics
1.Anchor Chasing

I met her at a new friend's place
She joked about the way i wouldn't dance
She sounded like a girl I knew
Or one i wish i'd known but never had
Her eyes were warm but tired
And she had the kind of laugh that makes you sad

I told her about my summer flame
And how i nearly gave myself away
She told me about the man she left
The one that keeps her hurting every day
I said i know it isn't much
But if you were mine i swear i'd always stay

And i said sister, you and me
We're made to chase a home we'll never reach
And we're both haunted by the sound
Of waves upon a shore that we can't see
But i think you're what i need
To keep myself from falling off the side
Cause i can see it in your eyes
We've both been anchor chasing our whole lives

I'm first to say i've spent my days
Walking with my eyes set on the ground
Sure i've never slipped and fallen
But i've never seen the beauty that's around
Just imagine my surprise
When the i looked and your sweet eyes were what i found
And i fell headfirst inside em
Built a home inside your heart and settled down

And i said sister, you and me
We're made to chase a home we'll never reach
And we're both haunted by the sound
Of waves upon a shore that we can't see
But i think you're what i need
To keep myself from falling off the side
Cause i can see it in your eyes
We've both been anchor chasing our whole lives


2.Whole Heart

the fog is landing on this cold street
halfway to where my world and yours meet
i turn the car dial up and feel the false heat
before I'm back home, lying getting no sleep

i grew up running from the outside
spent evenings looking for a place to hide
if i said love came easy, then you know i lied
i wish that love came easy, but i have to try

and tomorrow i'll be by your side again
with all the hurt that i've been holding in

i know i'm failing but i'm trying hard
i swear i'll be there when the tears start
before the sky comes falling and the seas part
i'm gonna learn to love you with my whole heart

you went home thinking i was distant
you thought it must have been what you said
but i don't need no reasons to be upset
when i can make up trouble in my own head

but when i tell you you mean everything
it's more than words i only half mean

i know i'm failing but i'm trying hard
i swear i'll be there when the tears start
before the sky comes falling and the seas part
i'm gonna learn to love you with my whole heart

and after all these years
and after all i've tried
i'm watching for the night when you confirm my worst fears
cause you have gone home crying for the last time

i know i'm failing but i'm trying hard
i swear i'll be there when the tears start
before the sky comes falling and the seas part
i'm gonna learn to love you with my whole heart

4.Pomegranate Sky

there is thunder in the city, i can hear it from my bed
and it's filling every corner, waking every weary head
but when that wind rolls down to take me, and bear me up through
stormy skies
i know i'll break on through to morning, i know i'll reach the
other side

and all my friends will be there waiting,
and my sweet amanda leigh
and i'll know that every crossroads
brought me where i'm supposed to be

and we'll be singing hallelujah, till we reach the by and by
and we'll rest our weary hearts in the pomegranate sky

there is hope in misdirection, there is beauty in the fall
there is sunlight in the setback, and in every engine stall
i was made to tread deep water, made to walk a winding street
never knowing where i'm headed till it's underneath my feet

but i'll find that home uncertain, with a fire in the hearth
i'll find comfort in deliverance from the coldness and the dark

and we'll be singing hallelujah, till we reach the by and by
and we'll rest our weary hearts in the pomegranate sky
