Cannonball
Damien Rice Lyrics

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
I am still thinking about you and what we had.

Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
You have left me uncertain of everything that happened between us.

Still a little hard to say what's going on
I am still unsure about my feelings and the current state of our relationship.

Still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
Even though you are no longer here, I can still feel your presence and influence on my life.

Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
I still have unfulfilled desires and regrets about not cherishing our time together more.

You step a little closer each day
As time goes on, we are becoming more and more connected.

That I can't say what's going on
Despite our growing relationship, I am unsure how to articulate my feelings and the status of our relationship.

Stones taught me to fly
I have learned from difficult experiences that I can rise above adversity.

Love, it taught me to lie
Through love, I have learned that sometimes it is better to hide certain truths to protect the ones you care about.

Life, it taught me to die
I have learned that life has its own course, and sometimes that can be painful and difficult to accept.

So it's not hard to fall
It can be easy to lose oneself in strong emotions and desires.

When you float like a cannonball
When you let go and allow yourself to become vulnerable, it can feel like falling at a high speed.

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Your presence still lingers and I am reminded of you by different things around me.

Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
I still crave your attention and affection and am unable to fully let go.

You step a little closer to me
Our relationship keeps growing and I am drawn more and more to you.

So close that I can't see what's going on
Our connection has become so intense that I am unable to make sense of my emotions.

Love it taught me to cry
Through loving someone deeply, I have experienced great sadness and heartbreak.

So come on courage
I need courage to face the difficult emotions and to express them to you.

Teach me to be shy
I need to learn to be more hesitant so that I can protect myself and not become too vulnerable.

'Cause it's not hard to fall
Being vulnerable and showing emotions can be easy to do when the connection is strong.

And I don't wanna scare her
I do not want to push you away with my intensity and strong emotions.

And I don't wanna lose
I am afraid of losing you and our growing connection.

And I don't wanna grow
I am afraid of the change that comes with growth and facing difficult emotions.

When you know that you just don't know
When you are unsure of your emotions and are not sure how to proceed.
