We were scared
But why should we have been afraid?
It was the miracle we needed to put us back into our place: before the fire came...
That blissful, hopeful state where we had what we needed
It was nothing, Nothing at all
But it kept us from the fall and our eyes
Your eyes still shine
And the snow covered the window until I couldn't see outside so I felt this home was my Grave
But I made my way to yours because I felt it best to sleep where your heart is pure
And all I saw were "One Way" signs.
To think I ever meant the same to you as you do to me now
To think you'd ever die for me? Well that drives me insane
And I was scared
But why should I have been afraid to see your belly stretch out like your open arms that Brought me here in the first place?
And if my chest were to explode, all you would find is your bones, or a picture of my Home, roof-deep buried in snow
Or maybe you'd find that empty hall that used to be filled with lovely songs, where we'd Dance to "I Want To Know Your Plans"
I felt the river rise, and I felt your eyes: the way my skin would burn back when my teeth Were white
Such a narrow turn
Such a radiant light
Such a pretty girl
Watch her cheekbones shine
And I saw the sign that changed my life: the one my father pointed out as he smiled Wide
It made me go crazy
Well I've got one match left... Let's see where this takes me...
Now I'm westward-bound with an awkward mouth that shakes and chews all that it can
I sleeplessly sleep my mind away, as you find you faith in other men
Well now you're free
But keep those open arms afloat because when your body sinks and your lungs can't Sing, I'll be there to throw the rope while all those other men will leave you cold like a Buttonless coat
But don't you fret, my one and only
I'll never leave you lonely
Oh, if only you could say the same for me
But I'm not worrying because I'll always love you
