lyrics

I was always waiting, for the yellow to begin…for the treble to let in, a little color…patiently expecting, that this world would surely end…that the line drawn in the sand, could hold a river…I was only loving, for the sake of giving in…a couple takes, then pack it in, I was a puzzle then…and though I thought I was doing you a favor...who the hell was I to think I could have saved a…world I never learned how to be a part of…my fortune drawn apart from…the truth is so remarkably true…I was self-defeating, though the first one off to war…thought I’d give a little more, and be a hero…tempestuous and dreaming, found reflection in a sword, pushed an ocean through a door, to find some shelter…I was always worried, by the way it’d make you feel…thought it really no big deal, I was mistaken…take a minute and find it more in keeping…with all the things you once thought you might be needing…cause elevation is often more appealing, it tricks you into feeling, the ground is disappearing, with you…I was always waiting, for the yellow to begin…for the treble to let in, a little color.
