I'm always looking for the truth in your words Our adventures etched in stone, in your words If I could read pages from your diary how would it move me How would it end? All the while I see you just like them, underground Will you see me for all that I am? They won't tell a difference between you and me when we sleep in dark Fields, alone They won't ever know what they had found The pictures that you take All the Sights and All the Sounds I'm always looking for the truth in your words All our history etched in stone, in your words

I've learned my lesson from them, because they don't know fear All of their demons that they bled for failed to appear I'm sat repeating all of the reasons why It only seems to be the wrong time when we die
3.
Once, you pulled me back ashore Laid me down, circled in stone Breathed me back to life again I watched you fade in from the black So take a breath, full of me Hold it there til I say when The vessels in your eyes set a course from lonely days as Your lungs keep us afloat through the waves I won't say when
4.
Let me stand proudly in front of you I'll bare the light so you don't have to shine No you don't have to shine The Light The tie that binds Baby you've got time to shine Hold my hand and take a breath Its in the air Its in the night No you don't have to shine The Light The tie that binds Baby you've got time to shine Baby, we should pray for longer days but in the meantime raise a glass to What we have By the moon's light I can see it in your gaze The fear of letting go will come and pass If you need me there, I want you to believe that what I said was true Baby, we should pray for longer days but in the meantime raise a glass to What we have By the moon's light I can see it in your gaze The fear of letting go will come and pass

I see that you've been trying to get out of this place you'd be surprised you're not the only one who lies awake at night and prays for spirit hands to guide you to the right and through the shit thats sure to come as the stars can be the light, then I can be your guide and these dying sounds will be all thats left of me when I'm buried in the ground below the deepest of your secrets or I'm carried out and swallowed by the sea I'll be your guide

You know I've never been too good with words Thoughts I write they never made much sense And you cry yourself to sleep Rest your tired lovesick heart Redirected how my thoughts are spent You swore I'd never think of you Lose yourself to someone's tricks I sought you out when I was young In 1996 Pretend you're lying next to me We gaze up way into the skies Hum to you my favorite parts Melodies and satellites And you that I And I know that I Never could carry a tune You shook it off and called me beautiful You swore I'd never think of you Lose yourself to someone's tricks I sought you out when I was young In 1996
