The Bells Still Ring - Michael Malarkey

It's a long and lonesome road if you ain't got nobody to hold

So i fell in love with a girl, then I told her so

She was drunk in a fountain blowing bubbles at the stars and laughing

And I though it was childish, but then I caught the joke

It made me laugh and it made me sneeze like a common cold

and I felt alive, and I wanted her to know

The maps of all faces told our tales, showed us where to go

And sometimes you read one, you already seem to know

The story you've been wishing for and a face you want to see

When you turn out the light, when you drift off to sleep

That's the road you wanna travel, that's the place you wanna be

and that is the girl in your dream

Trouble comes and trouble goes but love is like the open road

Roll down the window, breathe the air in

And when the darkness starts to choke, love's a light inside your throat

to heal the hurt to keep the warmth in

And so you read and you dream and get nervous 'cause it seems

like the words start to blur over time

But all things come and go, it's the way of the world

It's up to us, to keep it alive

And the breeze and the trees seem to whisper your name

You make me feel like a kid, you make me feel like a man

You're my everything and the bells still ring

It's a long and lonesome road if you ain't got nobody to hold

So if you really love someone then you should let them know

I was thinking about walking out, but then I cut myself at the devil's mouth

I was foolish but we must break ourselves to grow

You're my ocean, you're my bolt, my undertow,

You're my woman

Will you join me down this road?

Trouble comes and trouble goes but love is like the open road

Roll down the window, breathe the air in

And when the darkness starts to choke, love's a light inside your throat

to heal the hurt to keep the warmth in

Growing up and growing old, watch our stories unfold

like an atlas to places unknown

And the point of it all is that we can't be scared to fall,

or to fly,

or sink,

or swim

And the breeze and the trees seem to whisper your name

You make me feel like a kid, you make me feel like a man

You're my everything and the bells still ring

Just remember that we loved in many different ways

but I will fight for this, I am here to stay

You're my everything and the bells still ring
