Jordan Cottle - Only the Shimmer Lyrics

Just another day
In my involuntary life-long sentence
Like I can swim
Like I can really swim
But give me arm bands
Give direction

We've all lost our glasses
Like leaves in the wind
Like leaves in a four dollar wind

Like you've plucked a girl out of my dreams
Picked a dress that makes her ass look good
Dropped her behind a cash register
I can feel myself being rolled around in your greasy hands
Passed over the counter
And sold for less than I'm worth

We've all lost our glasses
Like leaves in the wind
Like leaves in a four dollar wind
Eyes of copper
Skin of paper
Heart of gold
You can buy my house
But you'll never put a price on the castle in your head

I could never care
I could never turn away

We've all gotta pay the bills
A beating human heart
And now I've bloodied hands
We've all lost our glasses
We can never see the light
Only the shimmer
Only the shimmer (You write me a cheque, I'll write you a song)
Only the shimmer
