We couldn't change
We couldn't make it
We couldn't leave it tied
It was arranged
I would be leaving
Back, then we could decide
It was just the start of the weekend
I called to see
And you answered me on the drive
It could never hurt, we believed it
I still believe it
Just learned the other side

But then you said something
And I said something
And we watched the pyres burn
And the things we said
Just weights to carry
Cages without birds
It was never hard to forgive you
Hard to admit to
Hard just to let it go
We were just the same
We could be so
Strong and so weak
Just strangers who fell in love

We broke to talk
We making love
And we could be back in the heart
Scene after scene
I followed you break
From the grave to the old schoolyard
We came to harm better living
While the lights were leaving, but
I couldn't make it from the start
It was always beating
And always believing
But I couldn't change in time

But then you said something
And I said something
The words mean nothing at all
And the things we said
Just weights to carry
Cages without birds
It was never hard to forgive you
Hard to admit to
Hard just to let it go
We were just the same
We could be so
Strong and so weak
Just strangers who fell in love

We were just the low tide leaving
Stone believing
First time breathing child
You were just the always-knowing
Always-loving
Always out of time

We were just the low tide leaving
Stone believing
First time breathing child
You were just the always-knowing
Always-loving
Always out of time

We were just the low tide leaving
(Dreaming for the present)
Stone believing
First time breathing child
(Dreaming about what you got)
You were just the always-knowing
(Know that if you had it)
Always-loving
Always out of time
(You couldn't let it, I couldn't let it by)

Dreaming for the present
Dreaming about what you got
Know that if you had it
You couldn't let it, I couldn't let it by

Dreaming for the present
Dreaming about what you got
Know that if you had it
I couldn't let it, I couldn't let it by
