all the shadows have made ladders

and all that mattered, yes all that matters

is lifted from view

as i'm gazing at stars

counting parked cars

i can't stop missing you



so leave the light on 

i know you think i've gone

let time go

let the rivers flow you back to me

as we're living our own days in our old fashioned ways

i'm silently with you



chorus:

round and round is where we go

and where we stop nobody knows

a drunken dream or broken seam, 

it doesn't matter how you find me

my arms are reaching for you 

and my lips are waiting to adore you

i promise to try



all the songs we (listen to me) 

it won't escape me, please don't escape me

baby, i'm bound for you

as letters hit my door, 

and my arm hits the floor

can you prove that i'm wrong?



chorus



please don't die, i promise to try

please don't die, i promise to try

the world is much better with you in it

world's much better with us in it



chorus (2x)
