Timmy's Prayer - Sampha

If ever you’re listening

If ever you’re listening

If ever you’re listening

If ever you’re listening

If heaven’s a prison

Then I am your prisoner

Yes, I am your prisoner

I messed up, ooh

I know now

There’s no room for me to play now

Nowhere to dig my way out

My vital organs are beating through

My ribcage opened, my heart ballooned

I… I’ve lost another one

I’m on the floor trying to dress my wounds

Address the fact it was mine to lose

I… I didn’t try enough

And when I’m left without your love

It could feel like a lifetime baby

And somewhere in the start we had it alright

Sunshine and blue skies, yes I recall

But now there’s a darker blue

I’m bleeding and you don’t care

The sun sinks and you’re not there

If ever you’re listening

If heaven’s a prison

Then I am your prisoner

Yes, I am your prisoner

I messed up, ooh

I know now

There’s no room for me to play now

Nowhere to dig my way out

My brother always said I’m a dreamer, dreamer

You better watch out where this life will lead ya

And he always said she’s a keeper keeper

She’ll stay by your side when the rest will leave ya

Well I’m looking on my left side, I’m looking on my right

She’s nowhere to be seen now when I close my eyes at night

Dreaming, surely you will find me by the shore

I’m singing so blindly, can you hear me?

Can you find me?

If you find me, wanna tell you I love you so

I wanna tell you that love comes and goes

That it comes and goes

I hear the footsteps in the water and I feel the breeze

I open my eyes and no words, no words…

I wish that I listened when I was in prison

Now I’m just a visitor

I came to the gates but you turned me away

You asked me what am I waiting for

I’m waiting 'cause I fucked up, ooh

I got thrown out

I don’t know which way to go now

Don’t know which way is home now

If ever you’re listening

If heaven’s a prison

Then I am your prisoner

Yes, I am your prisoner

I messed up, oh

I know now

There’s no room for me to play now

Nowhere to dig my way out
