lyrics

Grow into me, I can be the wind that chills your cheeks. I can be the storm that keeps you up in the summer. I can be just like a dream, I can be the darkness you see when you sleep. I can be a song that keeps you singin' forever. Regret on my breath chokes at my heart. I remember the reason, remember the spark, the beat of the thunder beneath your wings. I can be a deadly disease. I can be the star you swear you can reach. Your arms go up, suddenly you remember. It's just not the same as it was when we were sixteen. I think you hit the nail on the head and drove the nail straight through my feet. We can live like the liars or die with the thieves. I'm still stuck in-between, it's gonna take more than you think to pull me out. Listen to me. I can be the last words you speak. I can be a wound that never comes close to closing. I can be a secret you keep. I can be as loud as these city streets. I can be here like a door that's always open. The scent of your neck I could never forget. I get the gist, I know what you meant when you said you miss waking up all alone. If I never come home will you wait for me? I'll be that minute you finally breathe. Your arms go up, you feel it take you over. It's just not the same as it was when we were sixteen. I think you hit the nail on the head and drove the nail straight through my feet. We can live like the liars or die with the thieves. I'm still stuck in-between, it's gonna take more than you think to pull me out. I'm hung up on these hang ups and I'd love to see you, but I can't wake up. I'd sleep forever if I dreamt. What's done is done and I'd do it again.
