Anouk – Jerusalem lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sir, can you tell me how to get to Jerusalem?
'Cause I have kinda lost my way
Sir, will you help me get there as fast as I can?
Tomorrow might be too late

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone, you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see?
People always tellin' me
How sweet and simple life could be
They say you might as well live before you die

[Chorus]
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come?
Yeah, one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem, yeah?

[Verse 2]
It took me quite a while to get into Jerusalem
'Cause I had kinda lost my way
I want to save me from myself so here I am
I hope it's not too late

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone, you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see?
I am so afraid to love
'Cause of the way I've been hurt before
I think by now it's time for me to leave

[Chorus]
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come?
Yeah, one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem?
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost?

[Bridge]
Things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone, you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see?
I don't wanna die this way
Wishing that I could turn back time
Wasted time, there is work to be done

[Chorus]
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem?
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost?
Yeah, yeah, alright, oh
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem
