Prove what you promised to
And climb up on that plane
Don't let your knees shake
When you watch me wave you bye
You see I'll tear this down now
Stone by stone until I grow
Place this trade:
Promises for all the choices that you make
Face to face feeling like you lost all your faith
My purpose now is to give back what you gave
What's it feeling like to watch us grow away
Alone with this ocean that stands taller than
You or any letter you write, gift you buy that I don't like
We're still alone with an ocean that's taller than me
Place this trade:
Promises for all the choices that you make
Face to face feeling like you lost all your faith
My purpose now is to give back what you gave
What's it feeling like to watch us grow away
Summer's come, school let go
We're on our own when we left home
The movie sets, the christmas shows
December's always our last hope
But I missed the part where we gave up
Left and how we made up the stories for all the boredom worn
I miss the part where we made up
Kissed and how we gave up
The seasons for our own reasons worn
Home, how we'd hymn them slow
Until we felt close alone
All the letters wrote kept them both
Home, how we'd hymn them slow
Until we felt close alone
Place this trade:
Promises for all the choices that you make
Face to face feeling like you lost all your faith
My purpose now is to give back what you gave
What's it feeling like to watch us grow away
