Lyrics
When everything was broken,
The devil hit his second stride.
But you remember what I told you.
Someday I’ll need your spine to hide behind.
For fear of moments stolen,
I don’t wanna say goodnight.
But I’ll still see you in the morning.
Still know your heart and still know both your eyes.
I could have told you ‘bout the long nights.
How no one loves the birds that don’t rise.
So you can tell the heroes go hide.
My sense of wonder’s just a little tired.
If only you could see yourself in my eyes,
You’d see you shine, you shine.
And I know you’d never leave me behind,
But I am lost this time.
Are we destined to burn or will we last the night?
I will hold you ’till I hold you right.
If only you could see yourself in my eyes,
You’d see you shine, you shine.
So we’ll run into the open.
Keep your hand inside of mine.
And then when everything is over,
I hope to think of this as better times.
The sky got red and swollen.
I guess I never see the signs.
There can’t be songs for every soldier.
It can’t be solace every time you cry.
I could have told you ‘bout the long nights.
How no one loves the birds that don’t rise.
So you can tell the heroes go hide.
My sense of wonder’s just a little tired.
If only you could see yourself in my eyes,
You’d see you shine, you shine.
And I know you’d never leave me behind,
But I am lost this time.
Are we destined to burn or will we last the night?
I will hold you ’till I hold you right.
If only you could see yourself in my eyes,
You’d see you shine, you shine.
I was lost ‘till I found you.
Now these songs will hold and hide your name.
All it was, was all about you.
Since that night the moon has never seemed the same.
If only you could see yourself in my eyes,
You’d see you shine, you shine.
And I know you’d never leave me behind,
But I am lost this time.
What if the love you deserve is love you never find?
I’ve learned in love and death, we don’t decide.
If only you could see yourself in my eyes,
You’d see you shine, you shine.
