i say that i love you
but i dont know what that means

i dont know
if it tells you i would
climb mountains
vault rivers
pull down the stars
all for you

i dont know
if it tells you i have
spent nights lying
awake
thinking
of what we used to be

i dont know
if it tells you i will
do everything
i can
to make everything
okay

once upon a time
way back when
we owned that town
through the eyes of children

maybe once upon a time
sometime soon
we could own this new town
through our own eyes

once upon a time
way back when
we owned this town
through the eyes of children

we were unstoppable
nothing could ever harm us
(even when we were harmed so badly)
we were the wind and the waves

but..
things change

the echoes of our kingdom
once tall and mighty
now crumble under the weight
of a mere thought in their direction

we were once the winds and the waves
but the distance cracked our invincibility
we have been worn and broken
to little more than dew drops and wind chimes

our land isn't ours anymore
and i'm just now learning
it's time for me to move on

i need you to pick up my pieces
even though your hands are both cut
from trying to sort through all this mess

i've done my best for you
but i'm so tired my love
i need you now

i should be asleep
the sun is already burning holes
through the heavy blanket of clouds
have i mentioned the rain
keeps me awake

things are wrong
wrong wrong for some reason
the world feels heavier
drip drip drip it wont stop
please

i want to be
with you with you somewhere
maybe then things would be okay
can things be okay
would you just
hold me
