Sneak Peak Song Lyrics
CAN YOU HEAR ME
written by john common and jess de nicola
I am down
In a hole
Lost my way
Lost control
Woke up alone
Where'd you go
Scared and pleading
Barely breathing
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Been down here
For so long
Can't recall
Where I'm from
I won't get out
On my own
Scared and pleading
Barely breathing
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Can you hear me… oh
Can you hear me… oh
Can you hear me
SAME SCAR
written by john common
Hold on, your innocence
Is all you get to spend
It hurts just to see you blush
The universe waits for your touch
You're lovely and more than that
It'd break me into half
If any harm came to you
But I know it's coming, there's nothing we can do
Get ready, don't wither
I know where you've been
I know where you are
Get ready, don't wither
Coincidence
I have the same scar
The taxis are running
The TV's are humming
The camera loves to see skin
Hollywood is waiting to break you in
And it might be painful
And you might not know it
But you'll feel the cutting
When you're in the moment
The scarring helps you
'Cause it toughens you up
Oh no…
We got the same scar
Same scar
Get ready, don't wither
I know where you've been
I know where you are
Get ready, don't wither
I know where you've been
I know where you are
Get ready, don't wither
Coincidence, coincidence
Coincidence, coincidence
We got the same scar
