[Verse]

I've been tasting something different in the air

And it draws me to open waters

Treading across the sea, I'll only fall if I'm afraid to stand

But I'm not afraid of falling

I've been trying to reset the hourglass

But all I did was make the sand flow faster

How long will we chase the dreams that try to catch up to us?

I can always hear them calling

[Pre-Chorus]

So don't run away, come closer

No, stay far away, I cannot hold you

I can only keep the things I need

And if I have a choice, I won't choose what I want

I won't choose, but I can't decide

All these confusing images of what life should look like

Are just illusions

They are just illusions that mean so much to me

[Chorus]

We're still young enough to grow

Still fighting our inner wars

You stayed behind to feed the fires that consume our souls

They're so cold to the touch, it gives me vertigo

I know what you think of me

I know what you wanted us to be

We are windswept, we are windswept

And nothing more

[Verse 2]

You can feel the vastness up in the mountains

As the whole world opens up

Trapped with the thoughts that gang up on me

I'm worried that I won't think enough

When the truth makes me lie to myself

I'll never forget why I came here

But I've forgotten why I stay

If I'll be blinded by the light, I'd still choose not to look away

I will never go astray, I cannot break away

[Pre-Chorus]

So don't run away, come closer

No, stay far away, I cannot hold you

I can only keep the things I need

And if I have a choice, I won't choose what I want

I won't choose, but I can't decide

All these confusing images of what life should look like

Are just illusions

They are just illusions that mean so much to me

[Chorus]

We're still young enough to grow

Still fighting our inner wars

You stayed behind to feed the fires that consume our souls

They're so cold to the touch, it gives me vertigo

I know what you think of me

I know what you wanted us to be

We are windswept, we are windswept

[Bridge]

The ghosts that live through me

The hopes that speak through me

Are letting out a shout with my own voice

But it's growing rough and hoarse

This place is small, but we are smaller

There is always something smaller

It takes the sense out of feeling bigger outside of these walls

And everything is so beautiful, I almost have to look away

It doesn't feel as heavy inside, as the sky is painted grey

And everything is so beautiful, I almost have to look away

It doesn't feel as heavy inside, as the sky is painted grey

And it means so much to me

[Chorus]

We're still young enough to grow

Still fighting our inner wars

You stayed behind to feed the fires that consume our souls

They're so cold to the touch, it gives me vertigo

I know what you think of me

I know what you wanted us to be

We are windswept, we are windswept

And nothing more

[Outro]

And everything is so beautiful, I almost have to look away Everything is so beautiful, I almost have to look away
