Nickel Creek - New Blood Lyrics

Friend when I hear you speak
It's like listening to the mirror
We steel ourselves against the advancing seas
And dissenting neighbors
(Friend when I hear you speak
It's like listening to the mirror)

We are one
But when
Has one
Ever been
Enough
Old friends?

New blood come and bring my blood to boil let's
Melt the wall down and form a pearl been
Stuck on the sound of my own voice you're
My grain of sand and buddy I'm your oyster


Have you read the Times today?
We are this poor world's virus
Its fever's fit to spike and buddy when it breaks
Which of those old verses
Will you dust off to prove a just God
Would still want to save us?
(Who cares what the papers say
When we have the word of Jesus
To help us lose our taste for their worldly ways
That His love might save us)
(Chafe, fellow strangers, chafe
Comfort has failed to save us)

We are one
We are lost
We've prayed and we've prayed but we're no less afraid
(We've thought and we've thought but we're no better off)

Cause one's
Never been
Enough
Old friends
Deep ruts
Dead ends
Good luck
Amen

New blood come and bring my blood to boil let's
Melt the wall down and form a pearl been
Stuck on the sound of my own voice you're
My grain of sand and buddy I am your new
Blood come and bring my blood to boil
Let's melt the wall down and form a pearl
Been stuck on the sound of my own voice you're
My grain of sand and buddy I'm your oyster
