Lyrics The Kiss of Life - The Dear Hunter

The Kiss of Life

Hope was closing with my eyes
Down the shallow grave I was lying
Then I heard someone say, «He'll be stuck here forever»
But I prayed it wasn’t forever
'Cause you were leaning over me
Clutching memories of when I was alive
And then you breathed life into me one last time
But I prayed it wasn’t the last time
Because it would be so wonderful to see your starry eyes again
Give me more than the things that I’ve lived for
I’m only echoes of the man that I’m supposed to be
Because I want more of the things that I’d die for
I want to feel it in my soul
In my soul
Now that you’ve unburied me
Dust me off and carry me home
And I beg you sing life to me again
I promise this won’t happen again
Because it would be so wonderful to see your starry eyes again
Give me more than the things that I lived for
I’m only echoes of the man that I’m supposed to be
Because I want more of the things that I’d die for
I want to feel it in my soul
In my soul
It would be so wonderful to see your starry eyes again
Give me more than the things that I lived for
I’m only echoes of the man that I’m supposed to be
Because I want more of the things that I’d die for
I want to feel it in my soul
In my soul
