| I saw the light dance on your face | |
| Paint the shadows of your shape | |
| Back when the season made the days so long | |
| And if I knew my time would come | |
| With the lines rehearsed but never sung | |
| I'd leave the chorus on your tongue | |
| I swear | |
| Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet | |
| Every second takes a thousand days away from me | |
| And if i close my eyes | |
| I hear the gates swing wide | |
| And by the morning light | |
| I will have seen both sides | |
| I've got a funny feeling that it's my day to leave | |
| Shoulders down the sweat drips across my cheek | |
| As I turn I can taste the salt in the shallow sea | |
| I feel their hearts beating next to me | |
| I hear the chatter of my teeth | |
| And I look around to see the ground beneath my feet | |
| The final thrill, the quiet spill, the vile retreat | |
| Do you see the waves running away from me? | |
| You taste the cold here in the air i breathe | |
| Why'd you let me go? 'Cause I can no longer see | |
| And I scream | |
| Oh my god | |
| Oh my god | |
| Oh my god | |
| Oh my god | |
| Oh my god | |
| Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet | |
| Every second takes a thousand days away from me | |
| If I close my eyes | |
| I hear the gates swing wide | |
| And by the morning light | |
| I will have seen both sides | |
| So why'd you let me go? | |
| I can no longer see | |
| And I can't breathe |
