it's a game of cat and mouse we play without any reservation at all we always had nothing more than the space between us, so small our shared breath on the frigid air spoke dreams we'll take to the grave i so desperately wish i could for once be even a little brave when i glanced your way i could see your disappointment in me the armrest we shared that morning was a battlefront only we could see i sailed a beautiful sea of blue for months in fear of freezing to death but your arms kept me safe and every time I held my breath take a deep breath and swallow the lump that's found home in my throat and eventually i'll probably come to peace with the words I wrote all those years ago what do I do with all these memories? one day i'll be able to set them free oh won't you come swim away with me for you it's way too easy the night i chased you down forbidden corridors is burned inside with all the rooms they should of locked where we tried to hide i still remember the way you fell asleep in the backseat it was just you and i, and the lights reflected on concrete everything just feels so melancholy tonight especially the reminder of you in my life take a deep breath and swallow the lump that's found home in my throat and eventually i'll probably come to peace with the words I wrote all those years ago what do I do with all these memories? one day i'll be able to set them free oh won't you come swim away with me for you it's way too easy there was once a crooked smile that kept me alive and i used to adore two shining blue eyes it was never to be you wouldn't float away with me what do I do with all these memories? one day i'll be able to set them free oh won't you come swim away with me for you it's way too easy i will gladly give you every word I wrote all those years ago.
