lyrics

If there is one thing I know it’s that I won’t grow without your arms around me. When I had to go, there was no way to show how much I wish that you’d come. I don’t want to get old, feeling so cold with all these walls around me. Oh, nothing will hold. Losing control. It’s come to this - I am numb. When this is all done and the songs have been sung I’ll run through the streets to find you. I will hunt by the sun and when the moon has been hung so high in the sky that it’s blinding. Once the game has begun, if there is someone, then I won’t try to remind you. I might die by the gun or a line that’s been strung. Maybe there’s no surviving. Break the chains. Just to see your face. If there is one thing I fear is that I won’t hear the sound of your voice when I need it. When I disappeared, when they interfered, I tried and I was still taken. I will count off the years, smile through the tears, and drown in white noise when I need it. Oh, nothing will hold. Losing control. It’s come to this – I am dumb. When this is all gone and the songs are all wrong I’ll run through the pages to find you. I will turn every stone, shatter my bones, and break down my senses from trying. Once the day is done, if there is no one, then I will try to remind you. I might live by the gun when the wars have been won. Maybe it’s all in the timing. Break the chains. Just to see your face. Take me down. Shut me out. Put me in the ground with my heart still beating. I can be bound. Quiet the sound. I might never be found but my heart will still be beating.
