Rise Against Torches Lyrics

Torches Lyrics

On clearer days I can see the lights from my bedroom door, on windy nights I can
smell the lake as it drifts to me from the shore
The traffic lights silently change a thousand times a day but I’m still
waiting, yeah I’m still waiting

If my hand could block the sun, would we ever wake up? if I turned back all
these clocks would that be time enough? 

I can’t remember exactly when this longing began but I know it wasn’t before
the day you touched my hand, laugh and shout in blissful daze and numbers are
exchanged, I’m still waiting, yeah I’m still waiting

If my hand could block the sun, would we ever wake up? if I turned back all
these clocks would that be time enough? 

So put your hands where I can see them, and shut your mouth, I know who you
are, in a world void of feeling or heart I know that we are the torches in the
dark

Let’s break this down, let’s make this count,
Let’s leave this one-horse town, no better time than now

The angels dance like feathers float, they’re here to see and to be seen, the
clock strikes two, the music slows and each one slowly dons their wings, once
outside they all pair off and hand in hand they leave but I’m still waiting,
yeah I’m still waiting

If my hand could block the sun, would we ever wake up? if I turned back all
these clocks would that be time enough?
