Amnesty Letra

Letra de Amnesty
Kisses at the door, gather round the table
Papers lay in wait, envelopes to mail
Barking at my heels, I’m trying to be stable
Just leave me in the bag I’m going soon again
Dreaming of unpacking, some day i can stay
I’ll call you when i can, it’s just another day

Home feels a million miles tonight
Hope feels a little hard to find
I’m here to catch some kind of spark
In every face I see
And offer amnesty, offer amnesty

Points along the path, moments strung together
Give up on arrival, trying to remember
Everything should matter, nothing lasts forever
Oh how could I have known it’s braver to surrender
Cast off your coat and shiver in the weather
All the time I wasted chasing buried treasure

Home feels a million miles tonight
Hope feels a little hard to find
I’m trying to get some glimpse of grace
From across this endless sea
Would you offer amnesty?
Would you offer amnesty?

And I can’t go home now
No I can’t go home, I can’t go
I can’t go

Home feels a million miles tonight
Hope feels a little hard to find
We're all stumbling towards the light
And we beg to be released
Would you offer amnesty?
Would you offer amnesty?
