lyrics

Lost my legs to a shaken nerve
Watch your lips moving to silent words
But hear them as they hit the dusty ground like rain

Looking back in your unblinking eyes
Bite my lips and swallow butterflies
Draw a breath and feel the air flow through my veins

Maybe I could say a word to change your mind
And I could try to show you what you've left behind
But you never have thought twice
Let me stay here just for one more day
Just as long as you can hear me say
The world still shakes from when you walked away

Kept my memory in a sheltered space
You wipe it every time I see your face
And send me back to when I'd never known this day

So I'll lay my head down in the sirens' grass
Close my eyes and turn the hourglass
And I could stay asleep until my hair turned grey

Maybe I could say a word to change your mind
And I could try to show you what you've left behind
But you never have thought twice
Let me stay here just for one more day
Just as long as you can hear me say
The world still shakes from when you walked away
