lyrics

i know you
and you seem to find the words to keep me safe
hover above you
in times that you need space
only in the worst of my dreams
only then the best seems to come
only when i need to stand still
do i run
i came here
holding onto strings that i dont own
i could hold you
better dead then all alone
i tore through
and now i'm on the side of my distaste
only to come to
the same realization seems so plain
only in the wake of my love
only in the taste of your tongue
only in the sands of the earth
do i become you
i came here
holding onto strings that i dont own
i could hold you
better dead then all alone
letters you forgot to send me
words that end up in my mind
guess the welder failed to bend me
all i think of all the time
is you and i
dreaming till the end of time
