We lit the match, dropped it and waited

Just to see how beautiful, 

and painful it could be

It's funny how clear, 

your eyes get from crying

It's funny how clean, your life gets from dying.



You know your sleeves are long, 

waiting on an answer

all we want is shelter 

from the times that bring us down.

You know your sleeves are long, 

waiting on an answer

just to be protected

from the doubt thats in our heart



Been at the bottom, soared to the sun

Just to see how beautiful 

and painful it could be

Wings that were ours, broken from trying

Wings that were ours, melted from flying



You know your sleeves are long,

waiting on an answer

all we want is shelter 

from the times that bring us down.

You know your sleeves are long,

waiting on an answer

just to be protected 

from the doubt thats in our heart



You know your sleeves are long, 

waiting on an answer

all we want is shelter

from the times that bring us down.

You know your sleeves are long,

waiting on an answer

just to be protected 

from the doubt thats in our heart
