Understanding

You breathed infinity into my world
And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl
We dug a hole in the cool grey earth
And lay there for the night.
Then you said, "wait for me we'll fly the wind,
We'll grow old and you'll be stronger without him"

I shouldn't be awake so early. I mean, it's a rare day off and I could sleep in till 8. But I woke up early to sit and see dawn break. And in the light of morning ... my life has never been clearer to my eyes that it has been in the longest time.

But oh, now my world is at your feet.
I was lost and I was found,
But I was alive and now I've drowned.
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
So they can tell me I was wrong...

I am nowhere near where I really wanna be today. And that breaks me, and everything that I held on to, have been holding on to.

You sighed and I was lost in you,
Weeks could've past for all I knew
You were there blanket of the over-world
And so I couldn't say, I wouldn't say "no".
But they all said, "you're too young to even know,
Just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him"

It's broken. Finally broken. And it hurts so much, I cannot breathe.

But they weren't there beneath your stare,
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare of
Any bindings from the world outside that room.

So please don't blame me for running away. I need to go be someone else while this person heals. And it can't be done with you around. Cos I'll just go back to square one.

And they weren't taken by the hand
And led through fields of naked land
Where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
So I couldn't say "no".

And that cannot happen anymore.
