Been a while now, still in our house,
Filling the voids and hoping that our fates align.
Shall I go back to where you found me?
Meek as a new seed, but I was yours to sow.
We were young then, our fire came and went,
Burned our hearts right out of our tangled bodies.
Built our castle atop the ashes, made it worthy of our plans,
And it all came tumbling down.
Every part of me knows only your name,
Oh, I will keep taking my time changing your mind,
While you knock the winds right out of me.
But oh, the water’s rising again,
Why do I keep taking my time changing your mind?
You always knock the winds right out of me.
And it all came tumbling down.
