Nothing left to spare, I write secrets on walls
I run with rivers like doing the waltz
And I hope I can remember your voice tomorrow
But I've got no more room in my mind
I'm always talking about stupid things
(Streetlights and seashells)
The glittering of the city at night
When I'm hurting inside, thinking
I'm dying and time is always running out
Our love is an hourglass, love slipping away
Holding on like a memory
At pivotal edges, I see the heartbreak on your face
Blooming swan lake
No where to sleep when there's no more games to play
No more smiles on your face when
Our love is an hourglass, love slipping away
I swim back to you like a refrain
A heart I want to redeem, love I want to dream in
As the flowers die and the air gets colder
I expand like Hiroshima, a dying art form
Reminding me everyday is a sacrifice
Crying waterfalls from hollow black eyes
Magic spells and promises to myself
Through all these forgotten weeds
Hours of self-loathing through the weeks
All the way to the top of hills and back
Where we soak up sun and hide in the shade of trees
I look at life through a magnifying glass
Time running out like an hourglass
Everything feels so big, but I feel so small
Here in this room of hope, tears smeared on the walls
I don't know how to win
When I have the weight of the world on my shoulders
I crave to be alone, no one with no past
No clear view, no clear path
Just a calendar telling me I'm getting older
I would kill myself in a bathtub
Just to get back to your love
I would open my body and let out the blood
And go to places I've never been before
Just to get back to your love
I would swim to distant shores and promise
I'll love you evermore
When the lighthouse is broken in darkness
When the sands are muddy with fever
When the chimes echo and you're wondering
And the lights are flickering on and off in a supermarket
And I'm walking cold streets without a jacket
I will run through black skies to white moons
And remember the last time I saw you
There, I seen the world in slow motion, falling
And I bubbled with love for you
Because I have loved you for a century
And I'll love you for a century more.
