Lyrics
We gracefully wandered into each others heads
and fell into each others beds nervously, carefully, fearlessly.
But never alone...and wasn't that always the point.
We have seen the clouds form around our heads
and the trees grow around our ankles...but we're still the same
So why is it if I try my hand at less macabre ways
less talk of sleeping giants and sinking ships
less talk of invalid children and invalid fathers
I come so so short...for you.
I've needed, I've wanted, I've failed, I've triumphed.
I have lived, loved and lost.
Who's to say that we define ourselves by our names.
Who's to say that we all live and die alone.
I want to be more than a memory placed above mantles in empty and broken homes.
I want to be more than a name sliding off the tip of your tongue.
We are more than dates,
we are more than names,
we are more than the numbers that we assign to ourselves
We are more than ghosts, more than spirits.
We are more than the arguing with the silence.
Who's to say.
