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
