Looking for Something - Paolo Nutini

Another day is washed away

And all alibis are out

And the hand that used to heal me only cursed 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 from a brand new wish from that bucket down the well

And in her colors I find my faith

Cause I remember every word that lady used to say

She said that hearts can’t break themselves

Looking for something, leaving with nothing

But souls can’t save themselves

Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine

Be a long way home without you

It’s just a long way home without you

Yeah, yeah

That’s my mother, like no other

Made me human, made me brother

And it’s swelling with blister for my sake and my sisters

The guardian of my karma, keep my feet on terrain firmer

And then release me like a to the sky

She said that hearts can’t break themselves

Looking for something, leaving with nothing

But souls can’t save themselves

Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine

Be a long home without you

It’s just a long way home without you

Yeah, yeah

Sister, you have some hungry eyes

And by back you’re hypnotized

Smiling faces in disguise

By 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 time you’ll fall

After all, you’re just blood and bones

And you don’t owe no one, oh

No, you don’t owe no one

So don’t live like one price is right

Cause there is some things in your life that you can’t fight

She said that hearts can’t break themselves

Looking for something, leaving with nothing

But souls can’t save themselves

Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine

Be a long home without you

It’s just a long way home without you

Yeah, yeah

She said that hearts can’t break themselves

Looking for something, leaving with nothing

But souls can’t save themselves

Learning to fly, learning to fly

She said that souls can’t save themselves

Learning to fly, learning to fly

Oh souls can’t 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
