Lyrics

You breathed infinity into my world
And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl
We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night
Then you said, "wait for me we'll fly the wind
We'll grow old and you'll be stronger without him" but oh
Now my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found
But I was alive and now I've drowned
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
So they can tell me I was wrong..

But they weren't there beneath your stare
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare of
Any bindings from the world outside that room
And they weren't taken by the hand
And led through fields of naked land
Where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away..
So I couldn't say "no"

You sighed and I was lost in you, weeks could've past for all I knew
You were there blanket of the over-world and so I couldn't say
I wouldn't say "no". but they all said, "you're too young to even know
Just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him"
But oh, now, my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found
But I was alive and now I've drowned
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
So they can tell me I was wrong..

But they weren't there beneath your stare
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away..

But they weren't there beneath your stare
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away..
So I couldn't say "no"
