annabel Songtext
von avery pickup

annabel, you light up like a kid on christmas day
i make my little offerings to see your smiling face
you′re a cold lake in the summer, a jumper in the fall
and i'm an awkward little girl who′s just grown a bit too tall

annabel, i wasn't doing well when i met you
when they say ambition is a killer, oh, it's true
the roads are far too long, the mountains far too tall
and if i make it to the top i still won′t know just who to call

annabel, oh, what to do?
didn′t know til i met you


annabel, i pity you if heaven is a place
cause you're the only one who′s good enough
to make it through the gates
not an angel, not a god, not a single other soul
and once you've read all the books i think you′ll start to feel alone

there's a warmth inside your lungs
every breath is like the sun

annabel, i′m sorry, but you know i have to leave
annabel, when i get finished chasing all my dreams
on the roads far too long
and the mountains far too tall
i hope to see you standing
at the end of it all
to tell me that you're proud
at the end of it all
