lyrics

If we could photograph what might have been
An empty memory of what we’d see
Then we’d know
We could grow
And make it something real

But we just spend our time imagining
Until we’re blind to what is happening
We don’t see
What we need
Or even what we feel

Sometimes it seems like every second I forget a little more
Another compromise and suddenly my back’s against the wall
All the resentment and corrosion that you thought I should have known
I saw the lightning in your eyes, I had to make it on my own

Now you’re all out of trust and I’m all out of time
I try to remember all our grand designs
All the blessings and burdens
Broken and small

I just needed a warning, a little relief
So I wouldn’t have to just admit defeat
All the noise and confusion
Means nothing at all

If we ignore a part of what we find
Does It matter what we leave behind
We still trust
Way too much
Or maybe we’re just blind

Sometimes it seems like every second I forget a little more
Another compromise and suddenly my back’s against the wall
All the resentment and corrosion that you thought I should have known
I saw the lightning in your eyes, I had to make it on my own

I just needed forgiveness, a little restraint
I needed the time so I could just explain
All the pleasure and purpose tumbling down
Now there’s nothing but anger, covered in shame
And I had to finally accept the blame
All the colours and virtue just left on the ground
