Way Out
Former Ruins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All these ways I've loved you
Too many to count
Seen or hidden, willed or unbidden
They will find their way out

All these ways I've known you
I want to know them now
Your beauty revealed, your wounds unconcealed
I'm a scroll come-unsealed
I'm crying out
To find a way out

I'll find a way out
I'll find my way out to you, babe

All these ways I've wronged you
You do not keep count
As harsh as lightning or hardly surprising
They're gonna find their way out
Their way out to you

All these ways I long for you
You unearth those founts
Only you know how deep you gotta go
'Til they find their way out
Find their way out to you

I'll find a way out
I'll find my way out to you
I'll find a way out
I'll find my way out to you, babe
When I found you
Time split in two
Like the opening of an age
I don't know what waits past this threshold
But when I find out
I will stay

All these ways I've loved you girl
Too many to count right now
All these ways I choose you
Keep us safe within this house
It is single floor, no backdoor
Well I see no way out
I seek no way out
No, I'll find no way out




No way out of this love
No way out of this love
