Album: How to Start a Fire (2003)





If I only had an ocean to compliment this sky

Id pull it down, Id paint it for you and never question why

Cause red would mean you love me

And blue would mean you care

And black my heart were left to those with cold uncaring stares

This is the burning of a dream

This is the burning of a dream



[Chorus]



The sound now turns to silence

But I keep spinning around

Naked in the rain of my own tears

As they fall into the bucket of your apologies

And im closing everyone elses eyes

Because you rowed ashore

Not to see the volume rise again



Feels like im waiting in the last hiding place on earth

Hang this noose around my neck but im saved

For one hundred thousand memories wash ashore

Be swept away by forever

Sail away from you

Now the rain has ended

So the sun can shine through me



The sound now turns to silence

But I keep spinning around

Naked in the rain of my own tears

As they fall into the bucket of your apologies

And im closing everyone elses eyes

Because you rowed ashore

Not to see the volume rise again



Only you could row my boat ashore

And only you could set my fears at rest

Couldn't see the lack of sympathies regress

I'm still waiting

I'm still waiting for your grace



The sound now turns to silence

But I keep spinning around

Naked in the rain of my own tears

As they fall into the bucket of your apologies

And im closing everyone elses eyes

Because you rowed ashore

Not to see the volume rise again
