Painting Pictures Of Egypt Lyrics

Verse 1: I don�t want to leave here
I don�t want to stay
It feels like pinching to me
Either way
And the places I long for the most
Are the places where I�ve been
They are calling out to me
Like a long lost friend

Verse 2: It�s not about losing faith
It�s not about trust
It�s all about comfortable
When you move so much
And the place I was wasn�t perfect
But I had found a place to live
And it wasn�t milk or honey
But then neither is this

Chorus: I�ve been painting pictures of Egypt
Leaving out what it lacks
And the future feels so hard
And I want to go back
But the places they used to fit me
Cannot hold the things I�ve learned
Those roads were closed off to me
While my back was turned

Verse 3: The past is so tangible
I know it by heart
Familiar things are never easy
To discard
I was dying for some freedom
But now I hesitate to go
I am caught between the Promise
And the things I know

Chorus

Bridge: If it comes to quick
I may not appreciate it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
And if it comes to quick
I may not recognise it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
