Miles and Miles and Miles and Miles etc. (II)

from Wicker Forest by Jonathan Atkins

lyrics

I stop to wonder if anything's worth it.
Because I can see for miles and miles,
And look down on million's of browning tree tops,
And know they'd be better off without our fake smiles.

And I stop to wonder why we call it life,
When I can't feel anything but breaking a part.
And I can't help feeling like it's not really life,
If the people around us die with broken hearts.

I've got my own little steps with these widening eyes,
And I've got the little things, it's the little things keeping me so high.
Oh you, you're the strength in my legs and the beating in my heart,
You're the words on my tongue and the comfort in my arms,

That let's me comfort other wandering souls.

I never saw much breathing,
But I've seen more gasping for air, when things aren't careful.
And seasons, alone, can bring tears to our eyes,
Not because of beauty, but because beauty is breakable.

I've got my own little steps with these widening eyes,
And I've got the little things, it's the little things keeping me so high.
Oh you, you're the strength in my legs and the beating in my heart,
You're the words on my tongue and the comfort in my arms,

That let's me comfort other wandering souls.

I stop to wonder why anything's worth it.
Because I can see for miles and miles,
And look down on houses full of people,
And see true genuine smiles.

I've got my own little steps with these widening eyes,
And I've got the little things, it's the little things keeping me so high.
Oh you, you're the strength in my legs and the beating in my heart,
You're the words on my tongue and the comfort in my arms,

That let's me comfort other wandering souls.

about

Jonathan Atkins Mississauga, Ontario

"A singer-songwriter with a devastating ear for harmonies and a delicate touch with lyrics that slide perfectly into a horrid winter. There's a definite Celtic touch, but far sweeter than something like Mumford & Sons." - Andrew Fifield (Metro News)
