But still I loved them. They were imperfect and tired Happy and simple, but they were so unbelievably…human

And all my material possessions, that I once called a shield,
Lay broken and useless, and somehow completely crude.
-
But look at this way tonight,
You're a star...at least for a little while.

-
I guess because you were larger than life
We all just assumed you were larger than death.

It used to be that this door was never closed.
He would open it at the sound of my footsteps
-
I used to hope you would miss me.
But I was kinda naive, wasn't I?
-
-
But no, at the end, it's come down to me.
And I could keep trying, add a little more fuel.
-
But nothing yet is fitting
No, today I think I need something crazy.
-
And it's beginning to look like I've fallen
Helplessly in love, and it's rather splendid.

Nothing here holds any part of you.

With my feet hanging over the edge.
And they're absently banging against the reassuring stone.

She had one of those open faces,
The kind where you never had to guess
-
I couldn't handled that.
You see I'm hanging on by thread here,
-
And then just bend down and help this person, that you claimed was dear,
Pick up the pieces of the soul you helped to destroy.
-
Finally, I've decided I can't take anymore,
Enough, of this pride, for it's keeping me here.

And when I think of gold,
I see a sun colored by a child

Whispered a goodbye seen but unheard.

For their heartbeat matches the rhythm
Of the waves crashing on the sand.
-
Remember, I can't do this alone but...
Dearest Lord, in spite of that, Here I am.

I know crying makes my eyes red.
That's why you never cry, right?
-
What is it about this broken land,
With it’s beaten path, and its blackened sand?
-
U-nusually persistent in it's reality

What if we’re not ready, what if the outside is too big?

I did not know life
Until I saw it your eyes.

So I've come back again
to this little town so dear
