just take it back (I feel) 

they're only words (your hair) 

we hold the tethers (through my) 

we're here together (fingers) 



we paint the night (every) 

only to find (silk *strand) 

it's cracked and peeling (takes my) 

each face revealing (breath a-) 

what we don't say (-way) 



let's take these lines and 

draw ourselves out of here 

this shipwreck 

from set-sail 

we'll map the stars 

tonight they help to find a way 

when all is said 

words can breathe more life than death 



the inner sense that people share 

touching on secrets and letting down hair 



over and over let's not forget last time 

i've kept the best parts and play them in my mind 

this is tomorrow so take it or leave it 



empty diaries 

there's nothing to say 

and we'll take the right steps 

to keep these pages clean 

you want the answers 

i see them on your face 

you need to know this is where the promise breaks 



i can give you my answer 

i can give you my answer 

i can give you my answer 

i can give you my answer 



i know (i know) 

if you stay (if you stay) 

this will be (this will) 

ours to take (be ours to take) 



inside i (i feel) 

am overwhelmed (so good) 

from holding back (i want) 

but know that this won't be forever (you for all my days, but tonight...) 



i can't stay here 

you can't ask me 

just so you would know
