Remember when the hurricane blew against your door? And the next morning everything was out of place? Remember when you had your back up against a wall? All the blocks you couldn’t break down, you’re breaking up
We built it up, waited for nothing But it began to fall, put the pieces in place But it wasn’t the same
Said to us “oh, you wouldn’t know the difference” Straining sight Stepping back to stay in focus Still to us Even though we never listened Guess we just Want so much to prove it right
All the things we said With no doubt would come true Is it clearer now? On the windows Written in the dust Washed but never went away All of the words carved In the base of trees It burned down But still can read The last letter She ever sent You threw it out But still can’t sleep
Hold back Every breath you take Hold your head Up above the lake You’ll tire your arms out Hold your quivered voice Having trouble breathing cause your Tongue got in the way When’d you start believing saying out loud Will really change your fate Even though all the lights are on Everybody knows you’re gone And every night we want you back Maybe next time But next time never comes Left out in the sun And the road was freshly paved To escape your feet, despite the asphalt When you lie down It’s there that you shall stay Remember she said It’s there that you shall stay
Wake up now
Remember the wind shook the shutters and howled against the door And I was knocking but you couldn’t tell the difference Remember the wall towered unscalable but after all The softened stone, you dug a tunnel through it Spent half a day putting it all back in place And by the time it was complete you said you like it this way better Even though you hadn’t planned it and you Spent so much time working how it All fit together, you became so thankful For all the destruction of everything you cared about And we finally realized that what matters most is not The outcome of the requests we submit to be receiving Head on your shoulders and lungs full of air But our hearts need something that our blood cannot supply
