lyrics

receiving the notion that there is no potion i can make to make you my own
well i reckon there was never a chance at bringing you home
to make it much stranger i fell in the pool by the sand
and without complaining i fought midst the straining to give you my hand

no tears to defeat us, no worries deplete us, no sentences outside the lines
the copperfield brick i grew in embraced the tall pines

When did the time get sour tell me so?
when did the moon get darker oh please tell me, i wanna know.
did you always think that this was coming to an end?
and you had no place to cry at all, so you just let me be your friend?

deterring the faces, disgraces surrounding my kin
why there's never a moment i don't notice that you'll never be quite like them

now i've got this first moment, it's my chance to show that, i'll do everything i can to make you smile
without hesitation, i gave you invitation to go out for a while
but, confused by the matter of tourists and chatter i can see that you want to go home
it doesn't surprise me, i never took you as a rock to be thrown

but surely you wonder how all of this first came to be
or maybe you're sinking and that's why your blinking shows a lounged catastrophe
