I am shipwrecked in the night

I watched a girl with eyes like thin ice

Say "Dive into these pools of blue"

But I tripped over you



I curse these cool whispering lights

I curse the things that keep me from you

Again my patience makes the climb

Will my tears buy me time?



In your light I crumble, forgot what I'd been told

I never thought that I could feel so old

You're at the center of everything I do

Wherever I go, I'll walk the last mile with you



I heard you say "Dissolve in my arms

and run to fall in these meadows"

But you're just a memory

From a mocking old dream



But I cling to my dreams

I'm drawn to things that kill me

It's safer to pretend

But I'll deceive myself again



I your light I crumble, forgot what I'd been told

I never thought that I could feel so old

You're at the center of everything I do

Wherever I go, I'll walk the last mile with you



I've seen the whole world turn to gold

It's just like a fairground ride

Sometimes it turns out

That the tyrants are the pearls

You'll always know, someone loves you in this world



I want to burn like I burn

I want to burn like I burn



I wake up in the harsh light

Spilled my heart in a cold night

I've got too much time to kill

I wrote you're name upon my wall



I your light I crumble, forgot what I'd been told

I never thought that I could feel so old

You're at the center of everything I do

Wherever I go, I'll walk the last mile with you
