I saw the light dance on your face
|
Paint the shadows of your shape
|
Back when the season made the days so long
|
|
And if I knew my time would come
|
With the lines rehearsed but never sung
|
I'd leave the chorus on your tongue
|
I swear
|
|
Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
|
Every second takes a thousand days away from me
|
And if i close my eyes
|
I hear the gates swing wide
|
And by the morning light
|
I will have seen both sides
|
|
I've got a funny feeling that it's my day to leave
|
Shoulders down the sweat drips across my cheek
|
As I turn I can taste the salt in the shallow sea
|
I feel their hearts beating next to me
|
I hear the chatter of my teeth
|
|
And I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
|
The final thrill, the quiet spill, the vile retreat
|
Do you see the waves running away from me?
|
You taste the cold here in the air i breathe
|
Why'd you let me go? 'Cause I can no longer see
|
|
And I scream
|
Oh my god
|
Oh my god
|
Oh my god
|
Oh my god
|
Oh my god
|
Oh my god
|
|
Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet
|
Every second takes a thousand days away from me
|
If I close my eyes
|
I hear the gates swing wide
|
And by the morning light
|
I will have seen both sides
|
So why'd you let me go?
|
I can no longer see
|
And I can't breathe
|
