Watsky — Wounded Healer/Sarajevo Medley - Live

[Spoken - Watsky] This song is off an old mixtape of mine based on a Deer Tick song called “Baltimore Blues”. It’s called “Wounded Healer.” [Verse 1 - Watsky] His footprints are fading away from the beach We're not a family to pray or to preach But daddy's best friend took a handful of pills and now he's at a podium making a speech Yesterday night after dark He carefully wrote his remarks But everyone said what he put on his page so he threw it way and went straight from the heart [Chorus 1 - Watsky and Camila Recchio] I thought this was a party But all my friends are leaving And I still want to play You wrecked me when you stepped out Cause you're the wounded healer And you're supposed to stay [Verse 2 - Watsky] A year's a bottle in a bucket of trash It'll tip over the more that it stacks Didn't notice it till now but dad's been moving slower every time we go play catch I'm scared of the day when he'll carry a cane I carry his dream I carry his name And when papa is gone he will never be gone because the sound of our sneeze is the same [Watsky and Camila Recchio] God bless I Hear your voice In mine I want to stop time Like a carnival ride Because I don't know what I'm saying but I mean it (repeat) [Chorus 1 - Watsky and Camila Recchio] I thought this was a party But all my friends are leaving And I still want to play You wrecked me when you stepped out Cause you're the wounded healer And you're supposed to stay [Verse 3 - Watsky] And they wonder what our parents say And they wonder how we'll raise our children And they tell me that I'm living with a monster And they whisper that she took up with a villain But I don't see dragon's scales And I don't see claws and fangs All I'm looking at is arms that hold me Brown eyes that understand And when she closed those eyes one final time no pipers came But I know I got a love that's truer than a military sniper's aim But we won't die in vain Tie that chain around my waist And pull me from the bottom of the pit of hell up to your final resting place [Chorus 2 -Camila Recchio] Sarajevo, Sarajevo You're the altar that I pray to God is love and love is all we have [Verse 4 - Watsky] We were trynna run from the city Had the hope and the pride of the kids People wanna put up walls to divide us Kinda fitting that we died on a bridge Same souls, both sides of the banks They say we're different and they're fillin in the facts But they put the same metal in the bullets And they put the same bullets in our backs Kinda love that we got is one in a mill Ain't no God that I pray to would wanna kill It's not God but it's fear and it's politics And a Molotov that was lit with a dollar bill Don't say all is lost Escape this holocaust My God, Allah, my darling, star and crescent and my cross [Chorus 3 - Watsky and Camila Recchio] Sarajevo, Sarajevo You wrecked me when you stepped out I will honor and be faithful You’re supposed to stay Sarajevo, Sarajevo Wrecked me when you stepped out God is love and love is all [Verse 5 - Watsky] Where do we come from? Where do we go? You could fill up the sea with the things I don't know But I know what I feel and I know when it's real And I hope that we heal We're two drops of the blood and the tears Over thousands of years of the clash of the steel I'm not blind to the cycle We’re pressed in the spine of a Bible They define the divine by the title But what did Christ say? To be kind to my rival You're my kind of revival It's true ya, my favorite Hallelujah You my you my favorite Hallelujah [Interlude - Camila Recchio] Yeah-e yeah yeah yeahh Ah oh ooooooh [Chorus 2 - Camila Recchio] Sarajevo, Sarajevo You're the altar that I pray to God is love and love is all Sarajevo, Sarajevo I will honor and be faithful God is love and love is all we have [Outro - Camila Recchio] God is love and love is all we have God is love and love is all we have
