Ingrid Michaelson - The Chain Lyrics






The sky looks pissed
The wind talks back
My bones are shifting in my skin
And you, my love, are gone

My room seems wrong
The bed won't fit
I cannot seem to operate
And you, my love, are gone

So glide away on soapy heels
And promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again
Then I will take, then I will take the chain from off the door

I'll never say, I'll never love
But I don't say a lot of things
And you, my love, are gone

So glide away on soapy heels
And promise not to promise anymore
And if you come around again
Then I will take the chain from off the door
[x5]

  8. M.... M....

    “My bones are shifting in my skin” is probably the best way to explain anxiety to the people without it

  40. G.... M....

    nice song

  41. C.... B....

    Favorite Ingrid Michelson song of all time

  42. H.... G....

    The Chain--》New Year's Day Ingrid+Taylor Does anyone else hear the similarities in the intro? #IngridMichaelson #reputation

  43. L.... V....

    my chorus class uses the “so glide away” for warm ups

  44. h.... ....

    I'm singing this in Choir and it's so beautiful! Lots of people don't like it in my Choir class, but it's so graceful.

  45. o.... j....

    Why. Is. This. Not. More. POpular???

  46. E.... R....

    If you just listen to it, you get lost in the words.

  47. K.... M....

    Best first line, EVER!

  48. T.... ....

    Listen, Dodie's cover is great and all but the *original* has more depth to it. This song represents the haunting powers of depression and you can definitively feel haunted while listening to her voice, the increasing intensity of the volume and the drums which Dodie doesn't have. This song as recorded by Ingrid is perfect the way it is.

  49. r.... ....

    We are singing this for choir and I'm so psyched! It's so beautiful, though we are only making one change to song. We are changing the first line to something different from the last word used but other than that thank you Ingrid for a great SONG!

  50. C.... E....

    Came here from my choir teacher 😂 we always sing it for warm ups

  51. F.... F....

    This song legitimately changed me like holy shit

  52. J.... C....

    We're using the round part as a warm up in our senior choir. It's quite pretty with that many singers

  53. C.... B....

    The chorus at my school does this song as a warm up, which I am in.

  54. I.... ....

    George Blagden brought me here.

    I.... ....

    Same I love George's version

  55. S.... !....

    G side pride 💖

  56. J.... K....

    lol frosh cab 2013

  57. E.... S....

    I fell in love with this song all over again <3 I did a cover on my channel because it's so pretty.

  58. k.... ....

    grey's anatomy! make me cry this episode. i miss first cast.

  59. K.... V....

    Came here because I just sang this with a friend for the talent show

  60. C.... P....

    Música linda demais

  61. D.... C....

    Art!!!!

  62. D.... W....

    Im so in love with this track. I would do anything to work with you... You'r light blue vinyl for Be Ok is by far my favorite colored record I own..

  63. L.... I....

    I really am amazed that 48 people gave this song a thumbs down. Such a beautiful song. So many great songs in Grey's Anatomy and this is one of them.

  64. a.... ....

    I'm doing this song in choir :3))

    a.... ....

    okay 7th grade?

  65. A.... A....

    I wish I could sing like that! ❤

  66. C.... D....

    This version if great but the live version off of Be OK is ever better IMO.

  67. K.... C....

    Been listening to her music since 2008 cx

  68. r.... m....

    I'm a Japanese. I want this song to became famous in my country.

  69. L.... ....

    Change the word "door" to "dog" and you have a different song.

    L.... ....

    LuqmanLSG lmfao 💀💀💀😭

    L.... ....

    Omg i needed this. I was getting too emotional, lol.

  70. M.... J....

    Greys Anatomy brought me here and to many more amazing songs

  71. b.... c....

    i just covered this on my channel :-)

  72. A.... M....

    You can actually hear the pain in her voice.

    A.... M....

    Aadila Moolla I heard or read somewhere that she was giving birth while doing the vocals for this song...

  73. I.... S....

    Euphonious

  74. A.... M....

    I hate when people come to the original song and say the cover/imitation is better, when the song is clearly written by and for the artist... Just shows that our society has no appreciation for original music, only the newest shiniest style available.

    A.... M....

    Different people like different things

    A.... M....

    it being the original is irrelevant. some people just prefer the styles of those that did the covers, Its a really crazy thing called an opinion. Personally I like George Blagden's cover of this but I still wanted to see what the original was like because I was curious.

  75. J.... ....

    is it weird i can kinda see this being good if it were kinda mumford and sons style?

  76. V.... L....

    greys anatomy picked a good song

  77. m.... d....

    greys anatomy❤❤

  78. A.... A....

    My chorus song for school(favorite song)❤️

    A.... A....

    Aml 1103 mines does too

    A.... A....

    Savage Girl cool

  79. t.... ....

    Ok so I'm weird. I'll make music videos in my head and then I can't actually make them.
    So I have been making a Babylon 5 (newest obsession Ik it's old deal with it) Susan/Marcus music video.

    IN MY HEAD.

    WHY CANT I MAKE VIDEOS WHYYYY

  80. K.... S....

    Thank you George Blagden for introducing me to this beautiful song.

  81. P.... G....

    The sky looks pissed
    The wind talks back
    My bone are shifting in my skin
    And you my love are gone
    My room seems wrong
    The bed won't fit
    I can not seem to operate
    And you my love are gone

    So glide away on soapy heels
    And promise not to promise anymore
    And if you come around again
    Then I will take, then I will take the chain from off the door

    I'll never say
    I'll never love
    But I don't say a lot of things
    And you my love are gone

    So glide away soapy heels
    And promise not to promise anymore
    And if you come around again then I will take the chain from off the door (x6)

    So glide away on soapy heels
    And promise not to promise anymore
    And if you come around again then I will take
    Then I will take, then I will take
    The chain from off the door
    The End

    SO beautiful. Just sits you in a trance, you can honestly get lost listening to this. So simple, but so complex
