I thought that freedom lay over the sea
I wrote a story that no one will read
Stayed up and cried at the thought of release
I thought away was the best way to be
But this time around
With bated breath
I yearned
I yearned
For days and days
I feared the worst
But I learned
I learned
I saw castles and mountains
But all that I wanted was you
(And all that I wanted was you)
Saw the cities
The cliffsides
But I'd give it all up just to know that you'd see me through
(And know that you'll see me through)
If you were on fire the world would burn down
If you were the water I'd happily drown
If there were a way up I'd push my way down
Wherever you leave I will seek my way out
But this time around
With steady breath
I know
I know
In tumbling tides
My doubts are drowned below
Below
I've heard fireworks and folksongs
And all that I hear is your voice
I've heard echoes of footsteps
And I dream that you've come to take me home
Home
I can wait now
I'll have to
It's you I'm waiting for
