Lyrics

Verse
I think we went outside
Before dark
Before the light went out on our lives

A short time
Before our spark
Melted the ground and we slipped through the ice

Pre-Chorus
We'll be makin up for lost hours
But I'll be shaken by the past and overpowered

Chorus
She won't even know me
When it's over
And I'm left to count the things
I could have shown her
The sun shines through it all
Things that begin so strong end cruelly
And I'm left as just a shell
Of what her love's done to me

Verse
It was always a matter of time
The rope thrown behind
I couldn't grab the end if I tried

This riddle of mine
Too little
Or too much and then I force it over the line

Pre-Chorus
She can't wait for our eyes to adjust
And we'll go separate ways like children leaving the street at dusk

Chorus

Bridge
Who painted this sky?
Those brush strokes look a little like mine
Who set this darkness over daylight?
I turned our morning into night

Chorus
