Vanessa Carlton
The Marching Line
[Verse 1]
Boots on concrete
Don't slip on the leaves
Smile at the strangers
They'll know what you mean
Clouds like cathedrals
The night hits the sea
[Chorus 1]
And I walk to the High Line
A ship's gonna take me at midnight
A storm sounding out like an overture
It's time to join the marching line
[Verse 2]
Take back your vest
Don't know what love is like
A bullet in the chest
And I never say it
I've never known a day without
A quiet regret
[Chorus 2]
And so I walk to the High Line
A ship's gonna take me at midnight
A storm sounding out like an overture
It's time to join the marching line
Leave it all behind
And join the marching line
[Bridge]
And there's no captain who calls
"What's your name?"
In an army of one
It's just me and a drum
[Verse 3]
Do you know a love like
A bullet in the chest?
[Chorus 3]
Ships on grey seas
The waves keep the time like my heartbeat
It's an overture
It's time to join the marching line
Leave it all behind
And join the marching line
[Outro]
