Gather up your days
and we can lay waste
to the past that you can't face.
Now we'll part the waves,
drain the oceans
and send you on your way.
Meanwhile, half smiles,
as I wait for you to flood my veins.
Next time will be the last time, we'll say.
Next time will be the last time.
Gather round, my sweet
and in our missed beat
I'll draw a circle round our feet
to cast-off dead love
and chase hope
with you, where all is solved.
Oh that things were different, you'll say.
If only things were different.
And the truth be told,
I gave up my love to lie here,
though the reasons are unclear.
You gave up your love to lie here
now the reasons are unclear.
The clock won't stop,
the clouds will gather up the sky,
as you become my eye.
If this is madness
I don't mind.
Flood my ears and fill my eyes.
