Cannonball Lyrics

[00:26.39] There's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
[00:33.29] Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
[00:39.45] It's still a little hard to say what's going on
[00:47.65]
[00:52.44] There's still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
[00:59.11] Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
[01:05.43] You step a little closer each day
[01:09.37] That I can't say what's going on
[01:12.93]
[01:17.86] Stones taught me to fly
[01:24.05] Love, it taught me to lie
[01:30.80] Life, it taught me to die
[01:36.16] So it's not hard to fall
[01:40.10] When you float like a cannonball
[01:46.23]
[02:10.40] There's still a little bit of your song in my ear
[02:16.76] There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear
[02:23.38] You step a little closer to me
[02:27.07] So close that I can't see what's going on
[02:35.32] Stones taught me to fly
[02:41.92] Love, it taught me to lie
[02:48.27] Life taught me to die
[02:54.06] So it's not hard to fall
[02:58.04] When you float like a cannon
[03:01.26] Stones taught me to fly
[03:08.11] Love, it taught me to cry
[03:13.56] So come on courage, teach me to be shy
[03:19.98] 'Cause it's not hard to fall
[03:23.96] And I don't wanna scare her
[03:27.15] It's not hard to fall
[03:30.33] And I don't wanna lose
[03:33.24] It's not hard to grow
[03:36.80] When you know that you just don't know
[03:43.19]
