lyrics

Underneath the surface
I look for you in the seams
Swimming pools you hide in
As if you were lost at sea
Perpetuate the lie surrounding
Running out of time
Forget the dividing lines
Of what was yours or mine

When I hit the bottom
I know that you won’t be there
The absence of your voice
Still ringing hollow in the air
You won’t be coming back to me
That’s all i will know
You took all the daylight
And thought i’d know where to go

I can feel the tap as it runs cold
But couldn’t tell you how or why
I'd believe you if you said
You put the stars in the sky
And if someday the empty space
Where I laid at your side
Grows too much to bear
You know where I'll be every time

When I get too high
I know you won’t be around
Never could quite figure
How your feet kept to the ground
Still I wonder if you ever
Feel an aching in your heart
And even when I think you’re gone
I'll find you in the dark
