lyrics

In my room there's a corner of a page I left
blank for you just in case you ever came and I
held my breath small enough to give you space
well this corner of a page became all that I had left

In my head there's a symphony for two I wrote
kept it soft though I thought you heard it too well in
wrinkled brows and and the corner of your smile
well I read into the way your limbs would linger for a while

well I know everything might change
despite my tightening grip
I held on to your darkest waves
well if your love it was the sea
then I'm your sinking ship

and you might not hold me now
the way that you used to me in my dreams
I can't understand the way the world spins on its axis
if only for you and me
if only for you and me

you came like a breeze on a summer's day
thought I knew you but it was just the way
your hands seemed they could carry more than I could
take me or at least who you thought I was
who you thought that I might become
I'd be a fool to say or to pretend I didn't want the same from you

well I know everything might change
despite my tightening grip
I held on to your darkest waves
well if your love it was the sea
then I'm your sinking ship
