I once claimed my heart had room
For everyone and everything
There some rooms had no windows
And some rooms had no walls
But it wasn't built for you and I
This old complex of mine
You should've seen the place
An endless maze
Why you laughing? Saw you hiding
Am I coming on too strong?
Yes, I know these words, tall tales and slures are used and tired
But it runs too deep and what lies beneath went haywire
Your's was filled with fear
Or else you wouldn't be here
I bet you were like a river
Where they would quench their thirst
Muddy waters and violent swan songs
And the hearts we filled were not our own
On our way, on our knees, leaving fear behind
On our way, on our knees, leaving fear behind
Like me, you waited like a fool
In a crawl-space saved for two
I used to hear them through the walls
But now it's quiet like a tomb
You say it's all just give and take
But I just see this empty space
Between these binary poles
A place where we could stay
And I know we haven't met
I'm told you linger in my head
But, I swear I could have sworn
That I've seen you out there before
Doubt is my rope back to you
And I just hope you'll be there
But I'm bound to build, break down, rebuild this roofless tower
Yet I know we'll meet, when this old reel, turns haywire
On my way
