lyrics

I've been searching for a word for months now
But somehow the city finds a way to wedge itself between my dreams
See, you're in my dreams although I haven't seen you in awhile
It doesn't mean that words come easily to me

I've been trying to find a way to tell you I love you
And it's funny how those words mean more when I am not allowed to
I remember how you read to me
When silence sailed by naturally
When kisses bridged the distance
and goodbyes were not permanent

You would not believe how much the springtime sounds like you
We were hopelessly together when the winter turned to summer
Now we're strangers in the newness of the seasons black and blue
And no one can convince me I'm okay the way you used to

I've been trying to fill the empty spaces with faces
I know they all mean well, but still
Compared to you they're only strangers
And I wonder why we build these silver bridges just to burn
And I wonder if it's worth it in the aftermath as I unlearn

The strength of your smile carving foothills in my heart
We cast nets across the universe
I put you down, you put me first
We shocked a supernova into silence as we fell
As I become your history the words do not come easily to me
