[Verse 1]

I was never very good at goodbyes

I guess I never had to be until I knew tragedy or trying times

It left me feeling overly wise

I guess sometimes I had to be the oldest of three

Brown hair and brown eyes

[Pre-Chorus]

Caught in the quicksand you make all these quick plans

And just couldn’t fix them

For all of this the consequences are getting deeper

Keep all the time I’ve missed

I’m feeling the pressure within

[Chorus]

As you brеathe into me

It won’t bring me back to lifе

I’ve spent these years wishing a part of me could change

As if I knew it could

[Verse 2]

High above the restlessness, I see my former self in your eyes

And I’m reminded of my failures every time I open mine

If all we ever are is a reflection of the past

Who I am was never built to last

Who I am was never built to last

[Pre-Chorus]

I know the consequences are getting deeper

With every breath I take

[Chorus]

As you breathe into me

It won’t bring me back to life

And I’ve spent these years wishing a part of me could change

Just like you knew I would

[Bridge]

The hours could fill a reservoir of stone and sand and such

Overflow the banks and it would never be enough

To keep ourselves from parting into stillness of our own

The distance dies away in the garden that we’ve grown

The hours could fill a reservoir of stone and sand and such

Overflow the banks and it would never be enough

To keep ourselves from parting into stillness of our own

I’ve disappointed you

[Outro]

We’re hollow; searching for light to follow home

And if there’s something missing

How would I have known?

Unlike the moon and stars, we’re meant to fall apart

Eternity was never made for us

But I’d force my ghost to relive the memories

If it meant that I could feel just as much

I’d force my ghost to relive the memories

If it meant that I could feel just as much
