  • Come by the fire, lay down your head
    My love, I see you're growing tired
    So set the bad day by the bed, and rest a while
    Your eyes can close
    You don't have to do a thing but listen to me sing
    I know you miss the world, the one you knew
    The one where everything made sense
    Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it works
    'Til the bottom drops out and you learn
    We're all just hunters seeking solid ground

    Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
    Though I know it's blinding, there's a way out
    Say out loud
    We will not give up on love now
    No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
    Hold me in the dark, and when the day appears
    We'll say
    We did not give up on love today

    I'll show you good, restore your faith
    I'll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place
    Convince you love, don't breathe it in
    You were written in the stars that we are swimming in
    And it has no name, no guarantee
    It's just the promise of a day I know that some may never see
    But that's enough, if the bottom drops out
    I hope my love was someone else's solid ground

    Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos
    Though I know it's blinding, there's a way out
    Say out loud
    We will not give up on love now
    No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here
    Hold me in the dark, and when the day appears
    We'll say
    We did not give up on love today
    We'll say
    We did not give up on love today Writer/s: Sara Bareilles
