Rise Lyrics

Think I'm gonna pass out
Think I'll just lay down right here
Would someone turn the light out?
I'll cover myself with a jecket, and I'll still
Catch the last ride on a Brooklyn train
30 years old and nothing's changed

(Chorus)
And I'll rise to greet you in the morning time
It's an honest thing, and honest things they last

Spent hours on a landline,
hopin' you would find time for me
Showed up at your door, it was a scene I was so sure
you would be free
I should have caught a ride on a Brooklyn train
Meet me on the corner and I'll entertain

(Chorus)

I think they're gonna come and carry me away from you

I thought it was like this:

Think I'm gonna pass out Think I'll just lay down right here Someone turn the light out I'll cover myself with a jacket And I'll still Catch the last ride on a Brooklyn train Thirty years old and nothing's changed

Spent hours on the land line Hoping you would find time For me Showed up at your door It was a scene I was so sure You would be free

I should've cought a ride on a Brooklyn train Thirty years old and nothing's changin'

And I'll rise To greet you In the morning Light

And I'll rise To greet you In the morning

Try to hard to ignore All the feelings I have for you They won't leave

I'm so crazy How I wish that you could come around And we could meet

So catch the last ride on a Brooklyn train Meet me on the corner and I'll entertain

And I'll rise To greet you In the morning Time

And I'll rise To greet you In the morning

It's an honest thing And honest things they last

Think they're gonna come and carry me away Think they're gonna come and carry me away Think they're gonna come and carry me away From you

Think they're gonna come and carry me away Think they're gonna come and carry me away Think they're gonna come and carry me away From you From you From you

This song is beautiful and fantastic. I really think he's talking to a girl that broke up with him - he's still in love with her, and she doesn't have time for him. I like your idea too though. The best songs are those that mean a lot in different ways to different people.

i agree pezdel. aint always about finding the artists exact intentions in a song, but giving the artist props for creating a open song that reaches out to many people. yep, pretty much what you said:)
