Moving like a ghost through our house
Nothing was said
It was something we both felt
Been a long time since you slept
Turning pages in dreams
Tried to make it all make sense
I shoulda warned you about that
But you've figured it out
Even found it a name now
Breathing a shiver down your neck
Tried to carry it out
Out of the mountains on your back
Now we're such a long way
From where we come
We'll have to fall to pieces
Just to come back down again
I was a tight rope when we met
Less one following dreams
More apart at the seams
I should've told you how I fell
From the bridges of doubt
But never wanted to end
Kicking and clawing
Instinctual
Reaction to the lack of air
Nothing like the planet earth
To keep you from falling off
What if everyone snapped out of it
This spell we're all under
Who would feel responsible
Sing them to sleep again
Now that the stitches have all set
And the fire is out
The circus left town
But every loose thread we pull
Once the raveling starts
Cant weave it back again
Now we're such a long way
From where we come
We'll have to fall to pieces
Just to come back down again
