Thought you had opened Your heart to me Every light shone, I was mistaken Don't these friends fall out Ain't they leaves on the ground Laid into place for you I remember the nights When you and I were high And reclaimed a youth
Your skin in the sun Your hair in the wind Every eye open pulls you in But you are less than what you are I seen the one you lost The way you skip across the sand Lying dead in the ocean I waited on the pull of your hand
Does it bring you up To stake your line In anyone who'll gather around To live on the grounds Of your half-whole life A lie you stake into your life too The patching of holes And the light From the secrets That shines through All the waste from the inside Well I've been living in lies too Yeah, I've been holding 'em down And the secret sin That I've loved you For more than a little while
