lyrics

All of your petals are strewn across the floor,

They are worn out, red and rusted, used up from before,

And every question ever asked was random now I fear,

But now we’re grown and now know those petals got us here.

Lay awake, I’ll lay and dream,
my dear.

The sounds of ticking on the fencing,

Picketing my thoughts of thinking rationally

It made me think the world was going mad.

For every crack in the sidewalk,

A new idea for me to dwell on,

Just as soon another stumbles in my path.

And I, wave a long goodbye,

I go, somewhere I’ve never known.

And as I leave the ground for soaring,

You take me to a place that I swore
I would never, ever,
ever go.

And every second I regret regretting,

Ever having ever letting,

You not let me take you
Where I thought we should go.

And I, wave a long goodbye,

I go into this great unknown.

All of our moments are sheltered in the past,

They were taken by our fingers, they were never meant to last,

But every snapshot ever taken was taken now I fear,

I can’t recall a single fall on cracks that got us here.

Lay awake, I’ll lay and dream, my dear.

And I, wave a long goodbye,

I go somewhere I’ve always known.
