According to its author, “It’s quite a simple song about a friend of mine who was having a bit of a hard time for a while, so I was thinking about that when singing.”
[Verse 1]
Broken by the back of it
It was hard enough without the loss
Hanging on a thread of it
It was hard enough without the cost
[Verse 2]
Dancing to your lover's beat
Beating on heavy feet
Working on a dream you made
Well, you made enough to ride the wave
[Chorus]
Elijah, you're too young to be lost
Elijah, don't fade out on the cross
Elijah, I don't know
What it is you need to... do
[Verse 3]
Wish you could have talked to me
Found another way to be
Living hard don't sound so good
It's hard to get out of the wood
[Chorus]
Elijah, you're too young to be lost
Elijah, don't fade out on the cross
Elijah, I don't know
What it is you need to... do
[Verse 4]
The radio was playing all day
And I heard you singing
Fingers strum the sound through delay
And it echoes through me
Wishbones hidden in the residue
Someday they’ll find you
Just a little piece of good fortune
It won’t forget you
[Chorus]
Elijah, you're too young to be lost
Elijah, don't fade out on the cross
Elijah, I don't know
What it is you need to... do
