Looking For Something

Paolo Nutini

Intro x2 x4 verse 1 Now the dirt is washed away And all alibis are out And the hands that used to heal me only curse me now. The echoes of a woman so kind Rain like waterfalls and ice-cream on my worried mind. I lay there in the puddle of myself Fishing for a brand new wish from that bucket down the well. And in her colours I find my faith, Cause I remember every word that lady used to say. She said hearts can't break themselves Looking for something, leaving with nothing But souls can save themselves Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine! Be a long way home without you It's such a long way home without you. Yeah, yeah. verse 2 Miss my mother, like no other, Made me human, made me brother Hands would swell and they would blister for my sake and my sisters The guardian of my karma, keep my feet on terra firma And then release me like a scion to the sky! She said that hearts can't break themselves Looking for something, leaving with nothing But souls can save themselves Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine! This heart can tell sometime verse 3 Sister, you have some hungry eyes Can bite back you're hypnotized Smiling faces in disguise Can bite back you're hypnotized. Keep going against the grain And soon that's all, soon that's all you'll know And soon that's all you'll know And let's get this straight Sometimes you'll rise, and there's times you'll fall After all, you're just blood and bones And you don't owe no one nothing No, you don't owe no one So don't live like one price is right, Cause there's some things in your life that you can fight! She said that hearts can't break themselves Looking for something, wind up with nothing But souls can save themselves Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine! Of mine. Outro She said hearts can't break themselves Looking for something, leaving with nothing But souls can save themselves Learning to fly, learning to fly She said that souls can save themselves Learning to fly, learning to fly Oh souls can save themselves Learning to fly, learning to fly Oh momma, how I love you! Learning to fly, learning to fly No momma, how I love you Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine! We're a long way home without you
