Cranes

The Christmas Angel

She walks by crying
Those tears stay jaded
Somebody should've told her yesterday
That it all can fade away
She didn't know mmm
Guess she didn't know

Now these sidewalks are leaking
Ooohh shattered feelings leave a trail
I wish I could've held her right before
She would walk into that door
Who knew it'd all
Come tumbling down

If only we could reach out our hands
And somehow just understand and see what this world has planned
We'd be rising from quicksand
(Quicksand) Quicksand
(Quicksand) Quicksand

If only we could hear what's unsaid
Then I could make a face try again
And we could rewrite this end
And we'd be rising from quicksand
Rising from quicksand

Now her lips keep shaking
Across the street I feel her breaking
She wonders what's the use of this heart
If it only tears apart
If I would've known
I would've saved her from this feeling

If only we could reach out our hands
And somehow just understand and see what this world has planned
We'd be rising from quicksand
(Quicksand) Quicksand
(Quicksand) Quicksand

If only we could hear what's unsaid
Then I could make a face try again
And we could rewrite this end
And we'd be rising from quicksand
Rising from quicksand

She's been fighting in a war alone
It's getting hard to carry on
She's dying but nobody knows knows

If only every single day
I could take away the pain
This end would fade away
And we'd be rising

If only we could reach out our hands
And somehow just understand and see what this world has planned
We'd be rising from quicksand
(Quicksand) Quicksand
(Quicksand) Quicksand

If only we could hear what's unsaid
Then I could make a face try again
And we could rewrite this end
And we'd be rising from quicksand
Rising from quicksand

Rising from quicksand...
