Crawling, twisted, jaded by the light
The Sun touched our skin so we shut it out
Empty bottles on the window sill
Images of us that try to hold us down

The harder that they want us both to fall
I know that there's a softer place to land
Where our skin won't bruise
We can leave them with the ghost of me and you

We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you
We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you

Bricks and water, we are building walls
Like steeples, towers, bolting down the doors
Safe as houses when the world is cruel
Can't get in the way they did before

The harder that they want us both to fall
I know that there's a softer place to land
Where our skin won't bruise
We can leave them with the ghost of me and you

We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you
We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you

We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you
We come alive, it's far in my eyes
When you're alive I burn for you
