where the ocean meets the sky (where you end and i begin)

Every time you look at me I'm overthrown by gravity

pulling me down

Is it trying to bury me, bring on my early death

or hold me safely to the ground?

Every word you said to me is carved into my memory

like words on a gravestone

let my heart build a monument and dedicate it to you without realizing I'd made it

into my home

What goes around

comes back around

And it's all coming back to me

I didn't know how to love someone who needed the ocean

When all I had was the sea

If i could explain

I'm sure you'd understand

But you never listen to me

I'm standing trial against everyone I've ever loved

And they've all found me guilty

If i let you destroy me will you finally feel free?

You called me again in the middle of the night

To tell me you found god in the centre of the eyes

Of a pretty girl who never cries the way I did every day

Now the sun puts on a show, she's taking off her clothes

But the moon just says goodnight

And so it goes with you and I and all our starry-eyed fantasies, washed away

As the trees all shed their leaves, seasons change and so do we

As we burn away our fears

With ink stains on our hands from all the eulogies we read

Shaking hands, make us bleed

You are bitter wind

Against my freezing skin

The reason I stay in on these cold October days

You're the breath that I inhale

While I write these words

Wishing there was something I could say

I know I fall to pieces every time you touch me

I really want you to stay

My funeral boy, body like a coffin

Laying in an empty grave

I tried to write about the end of the world

But I wrote about you instead

Your breath is the saddest song I've ever heard
