lyrics

standing next to you
it never seemed a boring thing to do
we would pass a word between us every hour
sentences just seemed to flower

no one searched for me
the waves abated when you'd count to 3
even when your house was continents apart
your letters filled me up

we live so half awake
i want to take you so far away
with everything to prove
I want to take you so far away

but every time we change our hearts in the dark
all i want to do is live by the waves
if i could set the way
i want to take you so far away

grow tall with you
a lottery of sorts i entered through
tossing paper airplanes through the night
we'd both turn off our lights

morse code melodies
encoding every song you hummed for me
and even though the skies were kept by you alone
this time i'll hold my own

but can't change the way i've seen
hurricanes can't change their flow
even though we both have compasses
i am lost without

plan cautiously
your chutes and ladders shatter carelessly
even though you've always been the stronger one
i know that things go wrong
