Remember when the hurricane blew against your door?
And the next morning everything was out of place?
Remember when you had your back up against a wall?
All the blocks you couldn't break down, you're breaking up
We built it up, waited for nothing
But it began to fall, put the pieces in place
But it wasn't the same
Said to us
"Oh, you wouldn't know the difference"
Straining sight
Stepping back to stay in focus
Still to us
Even though we never listened
Guess we just
Want so much to prove it right
All the things we said
With no doubt would come true
Is it clearer now?
On the windows
Written in the dust
Washed but never went away
All of the words carved
In the base of trees
It burned down
But still can read
The last letter
She ever sent
You threw it out
But still can't sleep
Hold back
Every breath you take
Hold your head
Up above the lake
You'll tire your arms out
Hold your quivered voice
Having trouble breathing cause your
Tongue got in the way
When'd you start believing saying out loud
Will really change your fate
Even though all the lights are on
Everybody knows you're gone
And every night we want you back
Maybe next time
But next time never comes
Left out in the sun
And the road was freshly paved
To escape your feet, despite the asphalt
When you lie down
It's there that you shall stay
Remember she said
It's there that you shall stay
Wake up now
Remember the wind shook the shutters and howled against the door
And I was knocking but you couldn't tell the difference
Remember the wall towered unscalable but after all
The softened stone, you dug a tunnel through it
Spent half a day putting it all back in place
And by the time it was complete you said you like it this way better
Even though you hadn't planned it and you
Spent so much time working how it
All fit together, you became so thankful
For all the destruction of everything you cared about
And we finally realized that what matters most is not
The outcome of the requests we submit to be receiving
Head on your shoulders and lungs full of air
But our hearts need something that our blood cannot supply
