I saw the light dance on your face
Paint the shadows of your shape
Back when the season made the days so long


And if i knew my time would come
With the lines rehearsed but never sung

I'd leave the chorus on your tongue
I swear


Now i look around to see the ground beneath my feet
Every second takes a thousand days away from me
And if i close my eyes

I hear the gates swing wide
And by the morning light
I will have seen both sides


I've got a funny feeling that it's my day to leave
Shoulders down the sweat drips across my cheek

As i turn i can taste the salt in the shallow sea
I feel their hearts beating next to me
I hear the chatter of my teeth


And i look around to see the ground beneath my feet
The final thrill, the quiet spill, the vile retreat

Do you see the waves running away from me?
You taste the cold here in the air i breathe
Why'd you let me go? 'cause i can no longer see


And i scream
Oh my god

Oh my god
Oh my god
Oh my god

Oh my god
Oh my god


Now i look around to see the ground beneath my feet
Every second takes a thousand days away from me
If i close my eyes

I hear the gates swing wide
And by the morning light
I will have seen both sides

So why'd you let me go?
I can no longer see
And i can't breathe
