Vanessa Carlton
Back to Life
[Verse 1]
Lying in the dark, waiting patiently
Pill like a diamond, putting me to sleep
Black swan, I’ve become
I want to know no one
Bring me a stranger
On the eve of renaissance

[Chorus]
Pendulum above my body swings
Know that I’m a living breathing thing
Slowly see the color in my eyes
Back to life, back to life

[Verse 2]
Waiting, hungry, a bird upon the sea
Under navy, the craving comes for me
Wait it out, it’s different now
The powers coming slowly
Touch my skin, it’s delicate
I can feel the change

[Chorus]
Pendulum above my body swings
Know that I’m a living breathing thing
Slowly see the color in my eyes
Back to life, back to life
Back to—
[Bridge]
Sight, sound
Touch me to find
Bad, good
Dead, alive
Slowly see the color in my eyes
Back to life, back to life

[Chorus]
Pendulum above my body swings
Know that I’m a living breathing thing
Slowly see the color in my eyes
Back to life, back to life
Back to—
