the wind rustled through the leaves
the birds didn’t make a sound
we just stood there quietly
looking down upon the ground

and we didn’t know ‘twas you
only one of us perceived
and they still don’t know ‘twas you
still alone, only me

i take back all the things i said
though i know you don’t mind
i sit here all alone in my head
only in time

as i walk upon the earth
with each footstep on the ground
i look back at you and say,
“now i never will be found”

but your heart was always calm
and your soul was always pure
now you look at me and say [with loving eyes]
“now you never can be sure”

i take back all the lies in my head
though i know you are here
i still risked all the words that i’ve said
oh, never fear

and i feel like a house that’s burned down
one nobody wants to buy
but i feel that your heart’s in my hands
only in time

and your soul still speaks
words that can’t be repeated
for suffers consequence
or our hearts will be mistreated
and my lies were told
and our time has been competed
but i’m no longer cold
and i love you, i love you

i take back all the things i said
though i know you’re still here
i’m no longer alone in my head
i never fear

now the wind rustles through the leaves
and the birds don’t make a sound
we just touch, now, quietly
with our feet upon the ground
