Fightin' Away The Tears Feist & Mocky

Fighting away the tears
Fighting away the tears
I've been holding on for years
Fighting away the tears

I woke up in the middle of the night
Dreaming I had you by my side
You saw my hair look like a bird's nest
I swear I'll make you forget all the rest

Then I saw that I was all alone
Your location, I did not know
It was a dream, nothing more, nothing less
I guess there's still a couple things I regret
That's why I'm

Fighting away the tears
Fighting away the tears
Holding on for years
Fighting away the tears

My tears fall like rain drops
The years passed like pills pop
Like smoke in my eye
Like pigs, they don't fly
Like Santa he don't care
My rainbow's gone nowhere
The sound of your voice
Replaced by white noise
I don't want time to erase
My memories of your face
That's why I keep on fighting
That's why I keep providing
Goosebumps in my song writing

Fighting away the tears
Fighting away the tears
Holding on for years
Fighting away the tears

Oh, don't you worry
I'll keep on fighting
I'll keep on calling your name in my dreams

In my dreams (in my dreams)
In my dreams (in my dreams)
In my dreams (in my dreams)

Fighting away the tears
Fighting away the tears
And I've been holding on for years
Fighting away the tears
Last night I woke up and turned on the light
Dreamin' I had you by my side
You said my hair looked like a bird's nest
And swore to make me forget all the rest
Then I saw that I was all alone
Your location I did not know
It was a dream nothing more nothing less
I guess there's still a couple things I regret

That's why I'm...
Fightin' away the tears
Fightin' away the tears
And I'm holdin' on for years
Fightin' away the tears
But don't you worry
I'll keep on fightin'
I'll keep on callin' your name
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams
In my dreams

We thought that we could keep the world at bay
With just each other we'd have somewhere to lay
You said I was the girl in your dreams
I laughed and said I guess we're both still asleep
Oh life can be so hard to relay
Because the words just don't come out the right way
I'll put your memory on a shelf
Sometimes you gotta take care or yourself

That's why I'm...
Fightin' away the tears
Fightin' away the tears
And I'm holdin' on for years
Fightin' away the tears
Fightin' away the tears
Fightin' away the tears
And I'm holdin' on for years
Fightin' away the tears
Fightin' away the tears
