Orpheus Lyrics - Sara Bareilles

[Verse 1] 

Come by the fire, lay down your head 

My love, I see you're growing tired 

So set the bad day by the bed 

And rest a while, your eyes can close 

You don't have to do a thing but listen to me sing 

I know you miss the world, the one you knew 

The one where everything made sense 

Because you didn't know the truth, that's how it works 

'Til the bottom drops out and we learn 

We're all just hunters seeking solid ground

[Chorus] 

Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos 

Though I know it's blinding there's a way out 

Say out loud, we will not give up on love now 

No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here 

Hold me in the dark and when the day appears 

We'll say we did not give up on love today 

[Verse 2] 

I'll show you good, restore your faith 

I'll try and somehow make a meaning of the poison in this place 

Convince you, love, don't breathe it in 

You were written in the stars that we are swimming in 

And it has no name, no guarantee 

It's just the promise of a day I know that some may never see 

But that's enough, if the bottom drops out 

I hope my love was someone else's solid ground

[Chorus] 

Don't stop trying to find me here amidst the chaos 

Though I know it's blinding there's a way out 

Say out loud, we will not give up on love now 

No fear, don't you turn like Orpheus, just stay here 

Hold me in the dark and when the day appears 

We'll say we did not give up on love today 

We'll say we did not give up on love today
