Lyrics

[01:17.96] love
[01:21.07] you promised me
[01:25.82] then you led us deeper into the trees
[01:35.87] and looped the trail where it traced the thin air
[01:45.27] when you track the old days
[01:50.07] remember the game
[01:53.96] the past’s not always the prey
[01:58.56] and we numbed the earth’s skin
[02:03.31] when we tried to strike a spark
[02:08.06] never known where to begin
[02:12.91] staring backwards from the start
[02:17.55] and the needle skips and spins
[02:22.51] stumbling from blind to blind
[02:27.37] let them hunt us down again
[02:32.22] i will keep us safe tonight
[02:54.52] on and on
[03:03.30] you told me i was wrong then
[03:08.24] please tell me i’ll be wrong again
[03:13.11] a heart behind glass
[03:17.77] in a tower of stone
[03:22.76] i smuggled the spark
[03:27.32] that led the forest fire home
[03:54.69] and we numbed the earth’s skin
[03:59.48] when we tried to strike a spark
[04:04.44] never known where to begin
[04:09.24] in the landscape of a heart
[04:14.19] and the needle skips and spins
[04:18.69] stumbling from blind to blind
[04:23.62] let the tables turn again
[04:28.66] i will keep us safe tonight
[04:41.06] safe
[04:44.20] we’re safe tonight
[04:49.52] above the earth
[04:54.26] an arc of escaped light
[04:59.21] the first time we’ve been lost
[05:04.01] to second sight
[05:08.71] the sky’s the blind
[05:13.54] for a pair of newborn kites
[05:18.64] you told me i was wrong
[05:23.41] please tell me i’ll be wrong again..
