lyrics

I have gone the way of flowers, wilted in the cold
Crushing snow and ice will go, and leave me stronger than the old
We curl up being helpless, needing shelter from the storm
The waves are building higher now, but we’re creating something more

And I want you, and you want the truth
Fleeting like everything we do
And I’ve always known you would go
And I’d be on my own

The trees around us bend and break, but we stay where we are
We’ll wait it out as lovers do, by fusing heart to heart
It’s crashing and our walls and levees can’t hold nothing back
We built them strong but stronger still is freedom from the wrack

And I want you, you want the truth
Fleeting like everything we do
And I’ve always known you would go
And I’d be on my own

But it still makes me smile to hear you say my name
In my dreams,
I’m aware of where I should’ve been

There’s nothing I can do that should make it up to you
I know that,
But I’m still gonna try
‘Cause I’ve seen it when we had the chance to fly

When the sun comes out again in this city made of rain
The rays of light pass through the clouds
We’ve made it through the hurricane
The worst of it has passed us now, with new beginnings sure to show
We build our buildings stronger now, and move towards the unknown

But I know you, and you know the truth
Fleeting like everything we do
And you’ve always known we would fly
It would just take a little time

‘Cause you have been the perfect shelter and the perfect storm
Leaving me in pieces and then making sure I’m warm.
