Steal

I recognized your writing
The way your words run up and down the hills you used to live in
And when the sun's hiding behind trees more alive than you'll ever be,
You borrowed it to put some of me in your sad sad songs
Because i'm not one to say you've had me all along
But the curse thats bringing tomorrow proves us both wrong
Listen to the whispers 
Hold your own and bring your girl home
I'm the season that comes and goes

So you gave back the sun and you can't write the words,
So you gave back the sun, and you can't write a word.

finding out

Tell me how hard it was hitting you
Was the fog kissing your bedroom window
The wind slamming your door close,
Closer to what you swore you'd never be
Further away from me
Was it slow or was it fast
Did you drag your heart to bed
Did the smoke get to your head
Was the city on your side
When you decided loneliness wasn't for you
Those street signs don't mean anything to you
Did you cry when you realized it was the last thing to do?
Tell me did your arms get weak
Around three or four in the morning
Reaching for the beauty through your ceiling
Hiding from your life, coming out at night
Running up and down your mind



Tell me the way you felt
When you watched me fall to the ground
Why did everyone i love break down,
If it was such a silent sound
If we were all good, you swore we were both fine.
Find another word for departure
This can't be happening again
This can't be happening,
We were almost there-
I've got an empty heart but i've never felt more safe
And on my knees, i've been praying for this for years
