Lyrics

When everything was broken
The devil hit his second stride
But you remember what I told you
Someday, I'll need your spine to hide behind
For fear of moments stolen
I don't wanna say goodnight
But I'll still see you in the morning
Still know your heart and still know both your eyes

I could have told you ‘bout the long nights
How no one loves the birds that don't rise
So you can tell the heroes go hide
My sense of wonder's just a little tired

But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
I know you'd never leave me behind
But I am lost this time
Are we destined to burn or will we last the night?
I will hold you 'til I hold you right
But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine

So we'll run into the open
Keep your hand inside of mine
And then when everything is over
I hope to think of this as better times
The sky got red and swollen
I guess I never see the signs
There can't be songs for every soldier
It can't be solace every time you cry

I could have told you ‘bout the long nights
How no one loves the birds that don't rise
So you can tell the heroes go hide
My sense of wonder's just a little tired

But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
I know you'd never leave me behind
But I am lost this time
Are we destined to burn or will we last the night?
I will hold you 'til I hold you right
But if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine

I was lost 'til I found you
Now these songs will hold and hide your name
All it was was all about you
Since that night, the moon has never seemed the same

And if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine
I know you'd never leave me behind
But I am lost this time
What if the love you deserve is love you never find?
I've learned in love and death, we don't decide
And if only you could see yourself in my eyes
You'd see you shine, you shine

"I've learned in love and death we don't decide.." Dermot is such a treasure

[meamamgam]

The violinists really provide a new and wonderful perspective on this song, stunning

[Grey_fox]

"No one loves the birds that dont rise" #chills

[christinegood]

I simultaneously want everyone to hear his music and see how magical and amazing he is ... and want to keep him this little fan base we have secret bc it’s so special and the shows are so intimate. The struggle is real. He is on a whole other level than anyone else making music right now.

Me: Music doesn't make me emotional anymore.."
Dermot Kennedy:"Hold my pint.."

[sahar]

Holy shit. How dare you make something this perfect. Who do you think you guys are.

[katherineryan]

I can't wait till Dermont gets his first Grammy!!! Who's with me on this???

[browneyesangel]

The violins in the background add a whole new dimension to this song

[stacydv]

“There can’t be a song for every soldier; It can’t be solace every time you cry”...”What if the love you deserve is love you never find ?” JAYSUS this song is so damn lyrically beautiful. So many verses and beats just hit bone deep.

[abiggerboat]

It's a double edged sword when a recording of a song is so damn good you can't bear to listen to the album version anymore...

[nyag]

This man. His voice. These words. The musicians. It's all a massive tidal wave of blue and crimson and turbulence and peace.

[natureofvirgointuitivehealing]

Dermot’s Irish accent in this song (all his songs actually) hits my soul! It’s so beautiful ❤️

[patrickdowling]

Dermot brings thoughts and feelings we've all had into meaningful lyrics with a firey passion to really hit them home to us. What an amazing artist

[Trynfixit]

Ireland is just killing it at the moment musically ...Dermot K, picture this, Hozier etc.

[lowribrooke]

My dog is snoozing next to me, she literally looked up into my eyes filled with love?? Then at the screen, huffed, then turned back to sleep. You’ve got a doggy fan

[inezcanna]

"What if the love u deserve is love u never find? .. I've learned in love and death we don't decide" he is soo special🥰❤❤❤

[janapaulina]

‘In love and death we don’t decide’ - then why does listening to his music feel like dying and going straight to heaven? ♥️

[ClimbinInYoWindows]

Lyrically amazing and vocally astounding. Can't wait to see him again in April

[seanrstephens]

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Lyrically it's otherworldly.
