Hawk Nelson - Eggshells Lyrics

Artist: Hawk Nelson

Album: Live Life Loud

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: Daniel Biro, Jason Dunn, Toby Mc Keehan, Chris Stevens

I'm tired of the eggshells
We've been walking on
We've been here
For far too long

Remember standing on the pier
Even the ocean couldn't come between us
Now the sound of your words
Seemed so turned around

Last time I should have said I'm sorry
But all my pride made me keep ignoring
That the deadline is up
When the sun goes down

If I could catch the words
Before they left my mouth, I'd do it
If I could reach right out
And turn them all around, I'd do it

But it's out there, yeah, I said it
And in a way I don't regret it
'Cause I won't sit back
And let us slip away

I'm tired of the eggshells
We've been walking on
We've been here
For far too long, too long

Hey do you know
What happened to the good times?
Rolling like the thunder in the night sky
Now we seem so far out of reach

Everyone knows, everyone gets older
And you can't stop running until it's over
'Cause the love we had
Is always few and far between

If I could catch the words
Before they left my mouth, I'd do it
If I could reach right out
And turn them all around, I'd do it

But it's out there, yeah, I said it
And in a way I don't regret it
'Cause I won't sit back
And let us slip away

I'm tired of the eggshells
We've been walking on
We've been here
For far too long, too long

We need to take action
For what we've done
Not act like there's nothing wrong, wrong
Let's start over

I'm tired of the eggshells
We've been walking on
We've been here
For far too long, too long

We need to take action
For what we've done
Not act like there's nothing wrong, wrong

If I could catch the words
Before they left my mouth, I'd do it

    This song is themed to the Bible verse when Christ says,"Dont let the sun go down on your wrath." The lyric "The deadline is up when the sun goes down." Really makes it clear.Great song!
