I'm crying to come in
The way you're crying to come out
Our hearts are synced
On different rounts
But, for a split second
As we both break free
We pass each other
On opposite streets
And we recognize one another
Like you do in a mirror
Two different frequencies
On a similar rhythm
"You're going the wrong way!"
I scream in dismay
Because my own face
Was walking away
You scream "don't worry"
"our paths are the same"
"at the end of yours, we'll meet again"

Oh how small we've begun to make You
And taken our feet and walked ourselves up to the head of the mountain, where we've named ourselves gods
We offer ourselves offerings of praise and power to satisfy ourselves until our next desire demands the fullness of our hearts
Yet forget that every beat it gives cannot me made through our strength
And how quickly the next one could be stopped by the flick of Your pinky finger.

How can the world say
That your heart isnt for me?
I feel your love every morning
I'm resting my head on this faith
And I bet my life on your grace

I want a photo of you darling
You look gorgeous in your scarlet vest
Under the light of the sunrise
Driving through Cape Town in that morning mist
And you're the captain
And I'm your captive
The moment passes
The camera flashes
And I can picture perfect
In the shine of the headlights
The drive was worth it
And we say our goodbyes

She doesn't know the love she has to give
And built 20 walls to hold up her dreams
One day in the future when life truly begins
The sum of her childhood will make perfect sense.

Sometimes
Before the world creeps in
I lay in my sheets and experience peace
The moments before my thoughts begin.

If the grass is always greener then there'll always be greener grass
But with a sigh you ask me why the good things never last
