James Songtext
von O.A.R.

You said, "My son, don′t rely on a sword
'Cause your words can outlive even time
And I′ve counted my blessings, the rest are for you
Please listen close for a while"

And breathe, breathe, deep for me, James
Don't you feel, that you're free now from the pain?
And I′ve heard about Heaven for years
Can′t be sure where you are, wander on, blessed James
I'm fine with you here

I made the mistake once of fearing the end
Is this life that we live just the world′s accident?
Not a chance, I move on with a smile
Are you surprised where you are?

You can breathe, breathe, deep for me, James
Don't you feel that you′re free now from the pain?
And I've heard about Heaven for years
Can′t be sure where you are, wander on, blessed James
I'm fine with you here
I'm fine if you′re here


I grew up slow on the heels of the rest
Left my heart back at home, carried you in my chest
′Cause I don't feel like crying today
Why can′t we talk just for a while?

And breathe, breathe, deep for me, James
Don't you feel that you′re free now from the pain?
And I've heard about Heaven for years
Can′t be sure where you are, wander on, blessed James
I'm fine with you here
Fine with you here

Some days have come and gone, and you are never at home
Father, oh, father, why don't you contact me no more?
Sunday is Sunday, but never been the same since you gone
Father, oh, father, why don′t you just let me know? Oh, oh-oh-oh

You said, "Son, just listen to me
I′m doing fine, James
While you can sit back and just breathe
And it's time now, let yourself go
Hold me close, spin your dreams
That curtain might fall, but behind it, I know that you′re here"

We gonna pick it up a little bit in here, ladies and gentlemen
We're gonna try to let you know, ah
How we feel about this music thing, this music thing
